This team Consisted of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, and Chris Mullen.

Finished her routine and stuck the landing winning the gold for the U.S women's team. This is my favorite olympic moment because I can relate to this moment, I know this because when I ran the mile with a twisted ankle I kept on running, this woman show determination in resisting falling down and failing her team, she kept going and won the gold for the U.S. ]]> 2016-08-26 19:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120108764 Mike Powell, Brayden https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120108816 2000 summer games Won gold with only a few months of training for swimming at sidney Australia This is the most imprortant event because he only had a few months to train. ]]> 2016-08-26 19:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120108816 Miracle on Ice By Joe Grondahl https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120109241 The U.S.A won the 1980 lake placid olympics gold medal for hockey.They won against the Soviet Union(Russia) who had won gold for hockey in 6 of the 7 previous winter olympics and were leading until the 3 period.Sports Illustrated considered it the greatest sporting of the 20th century and is considered by many the best hockey game of all time.This is my favorite olympic moment because team usa beat the soviet union in the cold war.

She was the first american to win a gold medal in gymnastics in 1984. It took place at the olympics in Los angeles and It is my favorite moment because I believe that it is a very big moment to get the first gold medal ever for america in gymnastics.

He won the award because he gave long-jumping advice to the black American Jessie Owens, even when he was a German and with Adolf Hitler watching. This was in the 1936 Berlin games. I like this moment, because he stood against the stereotype and helped an American, even though Hitler was watching.

Oh yeah did I mention she was 11 years old when she won? This is my favorite because it shows that anyone of any age can win, plus it's just phenomenal that someone so young could earn such a great honor like winning the silver medal in... any of the competitions really. It's insane. ]]> 2016-08-26 19:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120109935 Berlin, 1936: Owens breaks records- Lauren Barnett  https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120110006 Jesse Owen broke many records and won 4 gold medals at the 1936 olympics in Berlin.

This medal was awarded at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. This is my favorite olympic moment because it represents the sportsmanship involved in the olympics, and it's not always about winning. It also shows that athletes,  although they try their hardest in events, respect all other athletes also competing. ]]> 2016-08-26 19:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120111003 https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120111085 2016-08-26 19:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120111085 https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120111274 2016-08-26 19:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120111274 Lawrence Lemieux - Makenzie petrin https://padlet.com/sforsman1/l68o1udcx4c/wish/120111619 In 1988 olympics held in Seoul, South Korea Lawrence Lemieux won a Pierre de Coubertin medal. He saved sailors after they had flipped & waited for help to arrive, giving up his second place position.

Some escaped war, death, their country where they were forced to leave, and war. Athletes spread out over the world without a country or a home. IOC raised $2 million for refuge athletes to play and join the olympics. The refuge teams played basketball, track, and wrestling. The Rio 2016 Olympics was the first time having and training a refuge team. This is my favorite event because it gave people with big dreams and not a lot of money or no home, a chance to do what they love in the Olympic Games.

He ran the final marathon barefooted. Brushing off sneers from his competitors, Bikila soon left them in the dust, flying over the ancient cobblestone streets and into the history books. He couldn’t find a pair of shoes that he liked so he ran with no shoes. Who was involved, Abebe Bikila. It happened in 1960. It was in Rome. This is my favorite moment because it is hard to run a marathon and he ran it with no shoes.

He competed in the 1920 and 1924 summer olympics (Antwerp, Belgium. Paris, France). He won five gold medals in the 300-800m rifle shooting events. His medals included three position free rifle (300m), three position free rifle (600m), and three position all around (400m, 600m, 800m). His olympic career ended in 1928 when shooting was dropped from the long list of sports the olympics offered. Shooting did not return to the olympics until 1948, long after Fisher had retired from both his sporting and military career. He was a great all around american shooter and should be remembered for his dedicated skill and service to this country.
