The countdown continues for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The opening ceremonies will take place next Friday and Erie's Barb Ruscitto cant wait.
She was a volunteer for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio.
The process to become a volunteer took over 18 months.
We took a trip down Olympic memory lane, discussing her trip and her duties during her time in Rio.
She also met a friend for life, her roommate at the games.
This story is part of our "Going for the Gold" series, a month long preview leading up to the Summer Olympics.
