Olympic Survey
| July 31st, 2012 | Uncategorized |
Good morning! Have you all been watching the Olympics? I think Bry is tired of me at this point, because all I’ve been watching and talking about has been the Olympics. From Jordyn Wieber’s disappointing performance that didn’t get her a spot for the US all-around to Ryan Lochte’s hotness, I’m happy Bry hasn’t totally gone crazy yet. There are many more events to watch, especially the Olympic Marathon on Sunday! I already have plans to be at home watching it! It’s normal.
As I was reading through blogs yesterday, I found this Olympic Survey from Running With Sass and figured I’d do it as well. Let’s get started.

Fill out the survey on your blog and let me know your answers!
What’s your favorite summer and winter athlete of all time?
I so so so admire them all.
the tenacity
the focus
the drive
all of it
I PRY my child has as much motivation and FOCUS no matter the arena she chooses!
from knitting to gymnastics.
thanks for the shout out! <3
Shannon Miller & Kerri Strug were my favorites (from the Magnificent 7 team) but I have a feeling a few new ones will emerge for me in 2012. McCayla Maroney is incredible on the vault, just WOW. I’m in awe every time she competes.
Can’t wait for T&F events to start – so many athletes to watch!!
I don’t really have a favorite athlete, but I can definitely say snowboarding ROCKS for the winter sports.
I wish I had gotten into it a lot sooner than 27 years of age, hah! My favorite summer sport to watch is the gymnastics, followed by soccer.
Don’t have a favourite athlete in either winter or summer olympics. With the summer olympics I watch everything from volleyball to track and of course every sport that resolves around water (swimming, diving, rowing, canoe sprints).
It’s hard trying not to spend 10+ hours in front of the tv watching all the coverage.
Kimm, I know! I feel like the only thing I’ve been watching has been the Olympics, but I’m not complaining!
