SUMMARY:Huntsman World Senior Games Opening Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Opening Ceremonies\, one of the highlights of the Huntsman World Senior Games\, takes place at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday\, October 4\, on the campus of Dixie State University at the newly named Legend Solar Stadium. A perennial favorite among the athletes and community alike\, this free show features the talents of local youth\, the inspiring Parade of Athletes\, Southern Utah Heritage Choir and an impressive fireworks display. This year's keynote speaker will be three-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming\, Debbie Meyer.\n\nBoth athletes and community members are invited to enjoy the Opening Ceremonies free of charge. The gates open at 6:00 p.m. A free shuttle is available from several campus parking lots to the stadium before and after the show. This year is extra special as the Games is celebrating its 30th anniversary.\n\nDebbie Meyer joined Johnny Weismuller\, Mark Spitz\, and Don Schollander when she was named among the world's best swimmers of the century by sportscasters across the country. At the age of 16 she brought home three gold medals in three different distances in the freestyle events. More than 40 years after that phenomenal performance in the 1968 Olympics\, Debbie Meyer is still considered one of the greatest female swimmers of all time. For someone who never took a swimming lesson\, her accomplishments are impressive.\n\nAfter retiring from competition in 1972\, one of her priorities continues to be working with young people. "I have had such a rewarding career and I enjoy sharing it with others. Perhaps I may inspire someone else to strive for their best\," said Meyer. She has conducted motivational clinics nationwide and in multiple foreign countries\, and has coached from the grass roots level to NCAA Division I schools. She has also been color commentator for CBS Sports Spectacular and ESPN.\n\n"The Opening Ceremonies is the time when we all come together\, athletes as well as the community\, to celebrate\," said Kyle M Case\, Games CEO.
