Everything you need to know to understand the Olympics

Welcome to Five Rings! I’ve covered the Olympics since I helped launch Fourth-Place Medal on Yahoo! Sports in 2008, and I have loved the Olympics for much longer. Somewhere, there are notebooks full of my stories about Kim Zmeskal and Gail Devers from the Barcelona Olympics that I wrote when I was 12.

With Five Rings, I’ll send you weekly newsletters in the months running up to the Olympics, then daily newsletters during the Games. I want to make it easy for you to love the Olympics as much as I do. You’ll find out what the big storylines of every day are, what you need to watch and when, and what everyone will be talking about.
