Olympic Ready

With a flag waving in the air behind him, Sven Lancaster runs along the sidewalk near the Kyle Public Library during the city’s 2016 Olympic Day celebration on Saturday. In the spirit of the impending Summer Olympic Games, the Kyle library held a program to celebrate Olympic Day, which is celebrated in 160 countries. Events at the program were designed to engage young people and promote the ideals of the Olympics. Events included a torch lighting ceremony at City Square Park, along with a torch run through neighborhood streets to the library. Olympic athlete Gary Van der Wege taught members of the community about the history of swords and the sport of fencing. See more photos here. (photos by Lincoln Ramirez)
