Vivianne Robinson, known as the “Olympic Super Fan,” is a familiar face on the streets of Paris, covered in pins and adornments from the seven Olympic games she has attended over 40 years. However, her journey to the games in Paris came at a high cost. The 66-year-old had to max out her credit cards and work two jobs, at Venice Beach during the day and bagging groceries at night, to afford the trip and the 38 tickets she purchased.
Robinson’s dedication to the Olympics is unmatched, as she is willing to work two more years to pay off the debt accumulated from her Paris trip. Her love for the games and the athletes who participate in them drove her to make such sacrifices. Her collection of pins and memorabilia from the various games she has attended is a testament to her passion and commitment.
Despite the financial strain, Robinson remains undeterred and plans to continue attending future Olympic games. Her story serves as an inspiration to others who share her love for the Olympics and demonstrates the lengths she is willing to go to support her favorite athletes and be a part of the sporting event of a lifetime.
As Vivianne Robinson walks the streets of Paris adorned with her cherished Olympic pins, she is a symbol of dedication, passion, and unwavering support for the games that have brought her so much joy over the years.
