AYF OlympicsReflectionsDiaspora
The day after the AYF Olympics
For AYF Armenians, the annual Olympics is a very special time. We build a community in one of our cities that lasts three or four days, filled with non-stop activities. It becomes a uniquely American-Armenian space—last year in Detroit, this year in Boston.
We gather to watch current AYFers compete with gusto and fraternity in golf, tennis, swimming, softball, track and field. We see old friends and catch-up. We make new friends and we mourn those who have passed on since the last Olympics.

It truly was the best Olympics that I can recollect, in every respect. The Boston venue, the committee’s wonderful and meticulous planning, the delightful picnic and the fantastic dances and musicians. We were blessed with perfect weather as well. Being in downtown Boston was unforgettable for many attendees who had never been to visit previously. Congratulations to all the Boston planners and workers.
