But my favorite part is the stories. Every one of these athletes, from every country, has a story. All of the stories contain elements of talent, skill, hard work, passion. But many of them also have elements of sacrifice - often heartbreaking sacrifice. These stories touch my heart in a way that I have found to be unique to the Olympics for me. These stories are the main reason I can barely peel myself away from the TV for the duration of the Games! Eight more exciting days!!!

Go USA!!!
I love the Olympics! London 2012 has not disappointed! Michael Phelps has achieved what no other athlete in the world has - an unprecedented 22 Olympic Medals - 18 of them Gold! World records have been shattered and set, as well as Olympic records. I love to watch people do what they're best at doing. The passion these athletes bring to their respective sports is more than impressive - it's inspirational. All of this achievement and excellence and passion - what's not to love?
