Congratulations to Joni she has WON the $80.00 VISA gift card!
Her favorite moment:
“ It had to be when Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh won their third Olympic gold medal. They had, together, receive their first gold medals in 2004. Now, 8 years later, won their third ones. They were a true example of the Olympic spirit as they solidified themselves as legends in beach volleyball, showing a tribute to focus and hard work. By the way, for the first time in history women outnumbered men on the U.S. Olympic Team.”
The Olympics may be over but the stories and the legacy of these athletes will live on forever. With the USA taking home 104 medals, 29 of those being gold and some crushing world records, I think we can proudly say The 2012 London Games were a huge success! I thought last nights closing ceremony was spectacular and I only wished they had used some of that for the opening ceremony;)
This was the first year that my kids were old enough to understand what The Olympics is and what it means. My 5 year old son was a little confused but my daughter was pretty impressed particularly by the diving and the gymnasts. As a Mom it was fun and sometimes difficult to try to explain just how impressive these athletes are and what hard work and dedication looks like. I am not sure they absorbed it all, but I tried. However, last night my daughter was a little disappointed when she found out that it was all over and when I asked her what was her favorite part of The Olympics? She said “The gymnastics!”
I loved cheering for Michael Phleps and watching him make history. I also absolutely loved seeing the USA gymnastics team finally stand on the top of the Olympic podium and take home the gold. Allyson Felix and all of the USA track stars amazed me and Kerri Walsh and Misty May Treanor, well they inspire me!
VISA Congratulates Kerri Walsh and Misty may-Treanor on their 3rd Olympic Gold Medal!

my favorite moment was watching the USA win every medal and watching them sing along to the national anthem…that makes me so proud
I loved when Men’s Volleyball was Russia against Brazil…Brazil was killing them, and so cocky and sure…Russia came from behind and started winning,and ended up winning the gold! It was an awesome underdog moment. I don’t have kids to watch it with..sorry.
What was your favorite 2012 Olympic Moment? seeing Michael Phelps earn his last medal
Did you watch the Olympics with your kids, what was their favorite sport to watch? I watched with the kids, and they liked gymnastics and the volleyball
The synchronized swimming fascinated me.
I liked watching Missy Franklin. She was such a great example, and I’m sure she brought a lot of comfort to her hometown!
My favorite moment was Michael Phelps winning the gold medal.
Yes, I did watch the Olympics with my visiting 30-yr-old kid — for a minute or two — part of a YouTube video of that cute woman hurdler who danced before the heats. That may be my favorite because it was so great to see her exuberance and energy. Her smile and dance was so catching we all got a little more animated. Three generations watched that clip together – my mom dropped in for a visit, too.
We watched the Olympics and my kids loved gymnastics.
My favorite moment was watching Michael Phelps win his final gold medal.
No question Michael Phelps setting the record for most medals. It was a fantastic year for the US, can’t wait for the winter round!
i loved the gymnastics
I enjoyed watching the US Women’s soccer team beat Canada in the last 30 seconds of the semifinal.
Our family loved watching men’s and women’s soccer. We also loved watching beach volleyball, handball and water polo!
I loved the diving. I always find it so riveting
The diving was great to watch
I watched with my son. I think my favorite was watching Aly Raisman do her floor routine. It was awesome, I love that she did it to a song important to her faith, and I like that she didn’t let all the balogna people were spewing about her “taking” Jordyn Wieber’s spot (by being better than her!) in the all-around finals get her down.
I think my 3 year old son liked the track best because he’s been playing ‘lympics since then, mostly by long jumping from the couch cushion to a giant pillow in the living room and by sprinting along the driveway.
there were some great moments- my kids and I watched it and had a great time- I think the most beautiful part was gabby winning and her performances- shame on the people picking on her- she will be a treasure and great example to many girls- so the gymanstics to me- and I loved the swimming, loved the swim teams video of call me maybe
Watching Michael Phelps! Thanks for such a great giveaway.
We watched almost every day (me and the kids). My son wasn’t as into it as my daughter and I were, but my favorite part was watching our fabulous 5 gymnists take the team gold! Also watching Gabby win gold was exciting! Such a great talent and smile she has… completely infectious!
We all loved watching swimming too.

My favorite part of the olympics was watching Gabby during the gymnastics!!
My husband and I are Olympics addicts and watched from beginning to end. We especially love to watch gymnastics, swimming, and beach volleyball.
I loved seeing Michael Phelps set a record and win another medal. He is awesome.
It was watched nonstop in our house. My 6-month old had his first taste. I loved watching Gaby win Gold!
My daughter just turned 16 and she and I watched quite a bit of the Olympics. We both were happy to see Gabby Douglas win the gold; she’s a fantastic athlete. I think my daughter was pinned to the tv when the Mens Olympic swimmers came on LOL…she thought they were so handsome.
Mexico celebrating its first ever Olympic gold medal in soccer by defeating Brazil
The highlight for me as also when Ryan Lochte won gold. My kids weren’t very interested this time. They only like the ice skating.
