Farewell Olympics

I'm sad that the Olympics are over.  They probably last just the right amount of time, but I love watching the events and hearing the stories.  Here are some of my favorites from London:

  • The Olympic rings on Tower Bridge
  • David Beckham driving the speed boat up the Thames with the torch
  • Mr. Bean playing Chariots of Fire with the orchestra
  • Our own gold medal cyclist, Kristen Armstrong
  • Missy Franklin's great smile, great swimming, and enthusiasm
  • Michael Phelps!
  • Pistorious running on the South Africa team with his blades
  • Gabby Douglas and the fab five gymnists
  • The US Women's Soccer team and their gold medal
  • Anyone running the hurdles
  • Usain Bolt - What a runner! - What a perfect name!
  • Kirani James' 400 meter dash, the first gold medal for Grenada
  • May and Walsh getting their 3rd gold medal in women's beach volleyball
  • The royals showing up to events - Loved every outfit of Kate's
 What I didn't like:
  •  Our basketball dream team and all the professional tennis players - That's not what the  Olympics is all about!
    The Olympic rings make their way down the River Thames to mark 150 days to the London 2012 Olympics

I miss the olympics as well.
I hear rugby is going to be in there next time.
I'm excited for New Zealand.
