Introducing the Olympic Dreams Blogathon!

On By 18cinemalane

The Olympics are an event that many people around the world look forward to. However, the 2020 Summer Games were postponed due to the on-going Coronavirus. As of late January 2021, the Summer Olympics are still taking place. In honor of that, I am hosting an Olympic themed blogathon! Because the Olympics are such a broad topic, I am encouraging you to be creative! Movies, tv shows, books, music, art, etc. involving the following will be eligible for the blogathon:

  • Winter or Summer Games
  • Sports that have been a part of or are still in the Olympics
  • Olympic athletes past and present
  • Special Olympics
  • Paralympics
  • Countries and/or cities where Olympic games have taken place
  • Performers and/or performances from an Olympic opening or closing ceremony
  • Years when an Olympic game has taken place
  • Advertising promotions related to the Olympics

      1. I’ve already written about “Miracle,” and the latest episode of “Sports Analogies Hidden In Classic Movies” features John Wayne as a USA Hockey player. So, without giving away the details, the sports analogy for this event will also have an Olympic theme!

    1. Hi Movierob! My blogathon rules did state that each participant would be allowed to post a maximum of three entries. However, if you are interested in posting five entries, I will give you an exception. I’ll add your name to the participant list right away!
