Summer has always been an emotionally charged season for me—filled with memories of childhood adventures in Maine and Massachusetts: clambakes and Fourth of July fireworks, jumping off a pier into the freezing-cold ocean, climbing rocks, and catching fireflies with my cousins. As I got older, I was more into backyard barbecues, road trips, outdoor concerts, and tracking down the perfect sundress, but since I was very young, the arrival of summer has signified the possibility of adventure. No one has more adventure set out before them than the five Olympic prospects profiled beginning on page 163, who hope to head to Rio this summer to compete at the highest level in their sports on the world stage. I was genuinely moved by the extraordinary American gymnast Simone Biles when we…
