Сочи-2014: Спорт Дипломатия в действии

(Michelle Kwan's voice)

Every four years the world gathers to compete in the Olympic Games.

 

To rediscover the phenomenon of connection 

 

That transcends differences of team uniform, language, and culture  

 

Which is powered by shared universal passion

 

for love of the sport.

 

Hello, I am Michelle Kwan, and here at the U.S. Department of State we believe the Olympics games are a time to showcase the power of sports to promote cultural understanding among  people around the world.

 

So we wish all athletes good luck as they compete in the 2014 winter Olympics and Paralympics.
