Olympic announcers feel more about U.S.' cross-country win than you will about anything

Such passion. Such yelling.

You might think the Winter Olympics are exciting, but you've got nothing on these announcers.

At the end of the cross-country skiing event yesterday, the U.S. won their first ever gold medal in the event, and the announcers screamed accordingly.

Just, like, really let loose.

I never thought sports announcers could make me tear up, but here we are?

Me too, #charlie, me too.

Such passion, such yelling, it's as if the announcers drank tea and honey this morning to ready their throats for this moment. If only I had such excitement toward anything.

Congrats to the U.S. on their first gold medal in cross-country skiing, and congrats to the announcers for really giving it their all out there.
