Men's 4x100 Relay, knock off trash talking Frenchies!

I definately have Olympic Spirit.

When you watch those medal ceremonies....doesn't it make you DAMN proud?
The back-stories are the best...coming from humble lives to go for it...represent your country and be the best in the world at something.

Can you imagine standing on a podium at the most prestigious event in your sport and having your flag raised and hearing your national anthem. No wonder Curt Angle cried on the podium in Atlanta.

It puts a lump in your throat.

Muhammed Ali at Atlanta in 96 to light the torch. WOW that was phenominal.

Remember Curt Angle on the podium at the awards ceremony in Atlanta?

Miracle on the Ice!!!!

Michael Johnson in Atlanta w/ TWO world records

Rulon in Sydney.

Cael Sanderson in Athens 04 is going to go down for me as one of my favorites. I've been following him since he was in high school...and then to watch him go undefeated in college...to know of a person for almost 10 years and then to see them win an Olympic Gold...BIG lump in the throat for that one. Hell YEAH!!!!!!!!

And now Phelps in 08. I'm not a big swimming fan, but I have total respect for what they do to train and put themselves through. How many times can a person set world records? WOW!!!!!!! That dude is a stud. I can sure root for him to set the world record in each final. He's 3 finals and 3 world records. Can you imagine 8 for 8 in 08?

Lezak epitomizez what "gut check" is all about. It's beautiful.
Not a direct quote...but what he said was....
"45 meters left and I'm getting my arse kicked. I'd have to swim this 2 seconds faster than him and he's the world record holder in it. I'll be luck y to get silver...Oh wait....It's the Olypics..F U G I T! I'm kicking his arse!!!!!!!!"

What a moment for any coach to use for their own locker room. AWESOME!!!!!!!!

So him turning into a Muslim and saying it is against his religion to fight in a War in which Allah did not declare is fine with you?
