Theme Week, Part Handball

Jeremy Is In The Office Proudly Presents 
US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week! 

Day 8: Cyrus Hostetler


We're in the home stretch here in Theme Week.  The Olympics are inching closer toward their conclusion, and so are we as we enter Day 8 of US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week!  


Yesterday, we introduced you to Joachim Gauck, and asked you to decide if he was a member of the 2016 US Olympic Team, or the head of another country's government.  Well, I'm pleased to announce that Gauck is the current President of Germany!

I'm not entirely sure how politics work in Germany, since they have both a President and a Chancellor (The possibly more widely known Angela Merkel), but Gauck is, in fact the president.  Germany's former president resigned in February of 2012, and following a grueling 27-day campaign, Gauck was elected to succeed, carrying nearly 81% of the Federal Convention votes. 

It's safe to assume that Gauck is highly invested in the 2016 Olympic games, cheering on the German team, who have collectively won 27 medals, ranking them 7th of all the countries participating.  That count is certain to rise later on tonight in the Gold Medal match in women's Beach volleyball, where Germany's duo take on a talented Brazilian team, with the winner taking home Gold, and the non-winner donning Silver. 

Day 8 sees Cyrus Hostetler.  2016 American Olympian, or Foreign Head of State?!
