That was a great moment! Thanks very much for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the Olympics. :)<br /><br />@Teresa-I don't think you're silly at all (I don't think you're old either from the looks of your pic, LOL) to cry at the achievements and stories of the athletes. Very emotional moments! Life changing moments!!

I cry when I witness those moments. My fave--I was really rooting for Gabby, so when she took the all around gold, yep--if you guessed that I cried, I did. :-) I suppose it didn't help that I watched the video beforehand--her mom and family--and her family away from home near her coach. Neat idea, Joya. And how cool is that--you and Michael with the same book title?? :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841166549891168116.post-51411673819007176622012-08-04T19:44:57.544-07:002012-08-04T19:44:57.544-07:00My favorite moment was watching gymnast Jordan Wie...My favorite moment was watching gymnast Jordan Wieber (spelling?) do her floor routine in the team final.

I interviewed Debbie Phelps for an article once (she and I live in MD) and she is as gracious and kind in person as she is on TV! :)Joyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754764002368512335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841166549891168116.post-7532120745333984232012-08-02T23:39:39.124-07:002012-08-02T23:39:39.124-07:00Joya, there have been several moments, but a few s...Joya, there have been several moments, but a few stand out. One, is how indidvidual competitors/rivals like Phelps and Lochte can transition so easily to being a tight knit team. The other is watching Phelps' mother as her son competes. What a tribute to thier relationship and the support he receives.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021658839162341581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841166549891168116.post-65352585494152272962012-08-02T22:47:18.188-07:002012-08-02T22:47:18.188-07:00You're right, Carin!
