Summer 2008

Well this is the first time I've written a blog so it's new to me. I've been looking forward for this summer because I like to watch the Olympic games. You get to see the greatest athletes on the planet push each other to the limit of human ability. I enjoy watching the weightlifting competitions where the weightlifters lift up 500+ pounds of weight over their head. That's simply amazing. Gymnastic events also leave me astonished at their strength and flexibility. My favorite event is the Track & Field sprint events. Is anybody else looking forward to watching the games? If you had one event to participate in which one would it be?

I think China should say, We have more important things to do (like take care of millions of folks who have been affected by the earthquake)!

Track & Field is my favorite as well! I like to watch the women sprint. They train their entire lives for it..... I am fascinated by the drive and discipline the Olympians possess.

Hi there! So I'm not sure which event I'd participate in, but the Georgia Special Olympics was held this weekend at Emory University. Did any one attend?

I went to school with a girl who was in the 2004 olympics. We had 9th grade literature together. Her name is DeeDee Trotter and she won a gold metal in the womens 4x400 meter relay for the US!
