I promised you that we would revisit the Olympics. Well
students there are a few more Olympic moments I would like to share with you
these are moments that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The Moments
of the USA Men’s and Women’s paths to the Gold Medals. Kerri Walsh in her
farwell to Olympic Volleyball. Kobe’s announcement that this will be his last Olympic
Gold Medal. And LeBron being the 1st since the great Jordan to win a
Finals MVP, NBA Title, and an Olympic Gold Medal in the same year/season… with
that said lets talk Olympiad…
4) Missy Franklin
swims to Gold in London: This 17 year old phenom took London by storm
bringing home Gold in 3 separate events. The young swimmer from Pasadena had
always dreamed of winning Olympic gold but never dreamed of earning 3 in her 1st
Olympics. Could she be considered a female Michael Phelps and dominate the
female swimming world? Only time will tell with this young athlete but I know
ill be keeping my eye out for her in 2016…
5) The US Women’s and
Men’s Basketball teams claim Gold fairly easy in 2012: Everyone here stateside
pretty much knew with the talent that both teams have they were pretty much a
lock to win the gold medal. Only problem with that is that the games still have
to be played. For the women it was easy I don’t think they were challenged much
at all. But the Men had had trouble with the Spain team earlier in the tourney.
Then they met in the gold medal game with the Spaniards the only thing standing
between the US team and destiny they held on late and managed to pull off the
107-102 victory and bring home the US’s 14th Gold Medal and for the
women it was their 5th straight now that is dominance…
6) The USA dominates
overall medals (104) and Golds (46): I can personally say that I am proud
of every athlete that went to London to compete in the name of the great US of
A. I am even proud of Serena and her “crip walk” after winning the gold medal
on the famed Wimbledon Centre Court. I am proud of the all because they went
there and gave it their all weather they medaled or not the gave everything
they had in competition for their country. And now yet another Summer Olympics ends
with the US so far ahead of everyone else in medal count you begin to wonder
why the other countries show up. So here is to the Summer Olympics here is to
American dominance. And here is to the Red,White and Blue…
Well
students those are some of my favorite Olympic moments from this years Summer
Olympics. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did till next time students.
