The Sochi Olympics get underway this week. One Vermonter is headed to his eighth games, not as a competitor, but as a broadcaster.

Peter Graves is a television sportscaster and public address announcer specializing in Olympic, lifestyle and actions sports. He was formerly the cross country ski coach for Harvard University.
