Olympics
Does anyone else enjoy watching the games? I enjoy watching the athletes -- no, not just cuz they are buff 
but because they are all so good. Last night Kristin and I were watching some of the men's gymnastics and we just sat there in shock at how well they were doing! I enjoy rooting for the Americans but I don't limit watching just to when they are on. I was watching the Japanese play volleyball against Poland (I think) and that was pretty exciting.
Anyway, for those who watch, who are your top ten favorite Olympians? I happened to just pick Americans and just during the years I watched the games. In no particular order:
Elise Ray, gymnastics
Dominique Dawes, gymnastics
Sugar Ray Leonard, boxing
Mark Spitz, swimming
Carl Lewis, track
Bruce Jenner, track
Mary Lou Retton, gymnastics
Florence Joyner Griffith, track
Matt Biondi, swimming
Shannon Miller, gymnastics
I liked Dominque Moceaneu, also - she seemed like another Mary Lou, with lots of spunk! :9: And Sarah HUghes, but she's a skater - not really a summer sport! :57:
