      Most Americans do not know what the Central American Games are exactly. The Games are a regional Olympics, with 36 different types of sports, over 5700 athletes representing 31 different countries in the Central American Region. The Games allows for the athletes to compete and to continue to stay active in their sport for other olympics occur, such as the Summer
Olympics the world looks forward for each 4 years! The athletes support not just their own teammates in their sports, but also support the other teammates of their country in other sports. The athletes go to watch their other teammates from their home country and to help cheer them on in every match, game, or meet. Also, athletes make friends and build relationships with athletes from other countries. Even though the athletes compete for their home country, the love for the sports competed for is still a common bond that brings not just athletes together, but also countries together from around the world. 

     Congratulations Kamilah Dammers, the Warrior from One Happy Island!
