Yesterday the flame of the Olympic torch was carried through our great state on its way to Salt Lake City.
If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal.
I watched my idol and fellow Dutchman Tiesto. He was the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympic event - the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens. At eight years old, all I can remember thinking was, 'I want to be a DJ.'
Figure skating is an unlikely Olympic event but its good television. It's sort of a combination of gymnastics and ballet. A little sexy too which doesn't hurt.
I have run with the Olympic Torch during the 2012 summer games in London and the 2014 winter games in Sochi.
The opportunity to be a part of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio is a huge milestone in my career, and it will be the biggest performance of my life.
Obviously in 2008 it was 538 (to win an Olympic gold) and most of my scores have been over that this year.
Squash has the credentials to become an olympic event and our goal is to see the sport in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We are working towards this and will keep trying even if our bid is not successful.
I was doing the family grocery shopping accompanied by two children, an event I hope to see included in the Olympics in the near future.
