My favorite thing to watch is Girls' Gymnastics. We had a really good team this year which people are calling the Fab Five or the Fierce Five. Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney make up the team. I wasn't a fan of McKayla because when she didn't win gold on the vault, she wasn't a good sport about it. Jordyn was the favorite to win gold and when she didn't make the finals, she cheered on her teammates who did and was super nice. I also liked Gabby, she's so strong and you could tell she was excited to be there.
I also like watching Swimming. I'm sad Michael Phelps is retiring but it was neat to see him win gold in his last Olympic swim. I can't believe he's won 22 medals, 18 of them gold! Missy Franklin also did great winning 3 gold medals and breaking a world record and she's only 17!
The Olympics are amazing to watch. Humans are capable of so much and it's awesome to see people who are so dedicated and willing to work hard represent their countries. My favorite part is that the whole world comes together. Even though we've had war against each other and our culture, history, and appearance is different, we can all watch our athletes compete and celebrate their achievement.
Go team USA!
