I was very excited that 2 University of Georgia swimmers represented the USA and won gold medals, Allison Schmidt and Kara Lynn Joyce. Allison Schmidt won 5 medals in London, 3 of them Gold.
Reese Hoffa, from the U. of Georgia won the Bronze Medal for shot put while representing the USA.
But one athlete that I became a really huge fan of is Great Britain's, Mo Farah. He was just fun to watch and very inspiring!
I'm going to go with obvious choices: Gabby Douglas. She just handled herself so graciously.
I also enjoyed Michael Phelps. He went out with a bang and basically accomplished everything he set out to do.
Huge basketball fan, and for a good month I was worried that Spain could low block us and win. And they almost did, if BronBron didn't punch him straight in the eye.
Nationality aside, Usain Bolt was amazing. Simply unbelievable.
" 'He rubbed her shoulders sensually,' what the Hell is that? That isn't sexy. You can't do somebody in the shoulder!"
Andy Murray. Partly because he's Scottish (well mostly) and because after such a low from Wimbledon, came back to beat the 2 best tennis players in the world to get gold. But it was an amazing Olympics all round.
Oscar Pistorius for sure... what a heart warming story. Even though he didn't reach the finals, the scene at the end of the 400 semi when Kirani James (the winner) traded name tags with him was touching.
Usain Bolt. His personality and athletic ability make for one unique person.
If I had to choose one for looks, Ryan Lochte hands down. The man makes my heart race. ;)
Laura Trott - for being brilliant on the track but also for her post-race interviews where she came across as an over-excited little girl let loose on the world's biggest stage.
