, I'm so hyped for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics! 
Michigan is killing it with 15 talented athletes competing in ice hockey, figure skating, skiing, and snowboarding 
. From Detroit's Dylan Larkin to figure skater Christina Carreira, these athletes are bringing the heat 
. I'm rooting for the Wolverine State to bring home some serious gold medals 
. The competition is fierce, but with Michigan's diverse talent pool, I'm expecting some major upsets 
. Colorado and Minnesota might be leading the pack now, but we know Michigan's got this 
! Bring on the snow, ice, and excitement 
I think its awesome that Michigans got some stand out athletes making it to Milano Cortina Winter Olympics! 
But I gotta wonder, is 15 actually a lot for the state considering how big Michigan is? 
Still really cool they got people like Dylan Larkin and Christina Carreira representin their country. 
and i love that we have so many talented snowboarders too 
kaila kuhn and jake vedder are my faves rn 
can't wait to see these athletes bring home those gold medals 
just read that some people in Michigan are really good at sports... like who wouldn't be with all that cold weather? 
31 athletes from Colorado beat them by a landslide, but I guess 15 is still something to brag about. 
Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is competing, which is cool, I guess. But what's up with all the ice hockey players? Can't they just pick one sport and stick with it? 
Anyway, it'll be fun to watch them try their best on the world stage... maybe someone will get hurt 
I'm so hyped for our Michigan athletes! People don't realize how hard these guys train every year, it's not just about being born with a natural talent 
. They put in the work, and that's what makes them stand out from the rest. And yeah, some people might say that Colorado got a little too much attention, but let's be real, they've been dominating for years 
Only in Mich can u find 15 Olympians & still manage 2nd place

!
it's kinda wild thinkin' about what's goin on behind the scenes 
or is it just a result of having such passionate fans supporting them all the way? 
Does Colorado have a bigger population or something?
️ meanwhile i'm over here in miami, sipping my iced coffee and wondering how we can support our athletes more
