    U.S. First Lady Mic e Obama arrived Wednesday morning in Copenhagen to lend her support to Chicago's efforts to win the 2016 Summer Olympics.

    As head of The Windy City's delegation — and her husband's representative until he arrives Friday — Mrs. Obama got to work quickly, chatting with some voters in the Marriott Hotel lobby, including International Olympic Committee members Austin Sealy of Barbados and Nicole Hoevertsz of Aruba.

    And then she met a NBA Hall of Famer:

    "When former NBA star David Robinson introduced himself the First Lady could be heard saying, 'I know who you are.'

    Robinson, an official member of the Chicago 2016 delegation, said Mrs. Obama added, 'Another Robinson. I tell people we are related.'

    Her maiden name is Robinson."

    By noon Friday, we'll know which city will host the 2016 Summer Olympics: Chicago, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo or Madrid. Until then, let's take comfort in knowing Mrs. Obama is just as big as basketball nerd as her hoops-lovin' husband.

    actually the intention of the Olympics is supposed to be friendly international compe ion - a chance for international athletes to meet when they might not otherwise do so BECAUSE of politics.

    obviously it hasn't always lived up to that intention, but most of the time it does.
