Winning gold medals in 1988, 1992 and 1996 and settling for a silver medal at the 2000 Olympics. This is my favorite olympic moment because, he was my entire families favorite olympic wrestler until he quit. (even though he was Russian)

The people involved in the moment were Michael White, Dudley Stokes, Chris Stokes and Devon Harris. This was my favorite Olympic moment because it was the first time they came to the winter Olympics and it was a really big deal at the time.]]> 2016-08-29 14:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307544 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307578 In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics Micheal Johnson took home two gold medals while crushing two world records along the way. One was the 400-meter race where he ran around the track in 43.49 seconds the other was in the 200 meter sprint (witch he won gold in) he became the first man to win both races in the same Olympic game.

bobsledding was the event
the Calgary winter olympics is where it took place and 1988 is when it took place
This is my favorite olympic event because a country that never has a cold temperature didi the unthinkable by doing a cold climate winter sport.]]> 2016-08-29 14:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307608 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307622 No one expected the 1980 USA men's olympic hockey team to win much of anything. They did believe the team, made entirely of amateur and collegiate players, would go out there and play their hearts out. That grit and commitment led the U.S. team to beat the Soviet powerhouse in a stunning 3 to 4 semi final win. The team would go on to beat Finland and win gold.
This is one of my favorite moments because the USA olympic hockey team wasn't doing good and turn around and won gold, this was an amazing moment for a lot of people]]> 2016-08-29 14:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307622 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307666 In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Michael Johnson took home two golds that year, while also beating two world records. The first one was the 400m race, where he came in with a time of 43.49 seconds. With a few days rest in between, he came back a few days later to take gold in the 200m sprint, becoming the first man to take gold in both races in the same Olympics. This is my favorite Olympic event because I like watching track, after I started to watch Usain Bolt become the fastest man in the world.]]> 2016-08-29 14:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307666 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307678 in Berlin, Germany in the 1936 olympics Jesse Owen broke many records and won several gold medals, shattering Hitler’s aim to use the 1936 Games as an example of the “new Aryan man.”]]> 2016-08-29 14:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307678 tabu1271 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307689 In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, NBA players were recruited for an Olympic team. Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing are a few of the player that had gotten recruited. This was the first time that this had ever happened. They won all eight games and beat Croatia in the finals and brought home a gold medal. This team is still celebrated as the greatest team assembled in any sport.

Mainly because of his color. Hitler's Germany saw him as a lesser compared to the other because of the color of his skin. He later went on to win 4 gold medals in 100m, 200m, long jump and 4x100 relay. It shows that anyone one can do anything and it just kinda cool seeing that everyone doubted him but he still prevailed. ]]> 2016-08-29 14:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307760 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307819 My favorite Olympic moment was in the 2008 Olympics when Kobe Bryant led team U.S to a victory by dropping 13 points and 2 assists in the fourth quarter after Spain was only down by 2 points the whole game to then lead team USA to a Victory and a Gold Medal.This is my favorite moment because I love to play basketball and Because Kobe is my favorite player .]]> 2016-08-29 14:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307819 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120307918 Chelsea Gubecka, the sister of a friend of mine, cut it to the 2016 Rio Olympics Women's 10km Swim. Kareena Lee and Chelsea Gubecka competed for a position on the team in Kazan, Gubecka in 13th place, beating Lee, in 20th place. This is one of my favorite Olympic moments, because this is the sister of a friend of mine. In the Olympics.

The day of the race came and Derek's dad was their to support him. The race starts and Derek was about a quarter done then suddenly he heard a pop in his right hamstring like he had just been shot. He started hopping of one foot and then fell to the ground. Derek's dad ran out to the track and Derek and his dad finished the 400 together.

Great Britain is known like Australian for having an amazing rugby team but little is known that an amazing underdog country Fiji is also an even component. I love this moment because it shows how if you put your mind to something an chase after a goal you can accomplish anything, like when Fiji beat Great Britain 43-7 in the Olympic finals.]]> 2016-08-29 14:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120308546 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120308621 While most people probably couldn't do it at all, Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikalia did the seemingly-impossible: He ran a marathon barefoot — and won.

It was also believed that a women named Charlotte Cooper was the first women ever to win a gold metal.]]> 2016-08-29 14:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120308631 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120308681 Mary Lou Retton was the first ever gymnast to win a gold medal in gymnastics for the United States. She won this medal on August 3,1984 at the summer olympics held in Los Angeles. Even though she was only 16 and she still managed to get gold. When she won her coach, teammates and the fans were all cheering her on. This is my favorite moment because it was the first time that the United States won gold in gymnastics and the gymnast who won it was so young so it shows that no matter how old you are, you can still do things that you love to do.

Almost seeming Impossible and won, while setting a record time of 2:15:16.2. He actually was gonna were shoes being Adidas the sponsor of that years Olympics, they had shoes for him but he didn't wear them because they did not fit. This is my favorite moment because if you put your self in his shoes... well you cant cause he didn't wear any but just imagine running a marathon without shoes with cement and dusty dirt.  ]]> 2016-08-29 14:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120308892 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120309672 Greg Louganis was attemtping
a 3 1/2 summersault at the Seoul olympics in 1988. As he jumped off he hit his head on the diving board which gave him 5 stitches and a concussion. But the best part about it is that the next next day he came back and won gold. This is my favorite olympic moment because looking back it makes me laugh to think that someone who makes it to the olympics should be able to do their event succesfully.]]> 2016-08-29 14:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120309672 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120310551 In 1936, during the Berlin Olympics, Jesse Owens wasn't supposed to win. Well that was what Hitler's Germany and many more thought because of the color of his skin. He later on went to earn 4 gold medals in the 100m, 200m, Long jump and 4x100 relay. I just think that it's pretty awesome that he just went out and showed he could do it and it's just really cool to me. ]]> 2016-08-29 14:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120310551 https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120313895 In 1976, Montreal, when the Olympics did not have an age limit. A girl named Nadia ,was 14 when she got 7 perfect scores. She got a perfect 10 on the uneven bars but the score board could not show it, so it showed up as a 1.00. At the end her team got silver but Nadia made a world record for the youngest gymnastic to get perfect score's.Then in 1976 the Olympics past a rule that you have to be 16 or older to compete but they kept her score in the book. So her record will never be broken. Even though was not there, I thought this was awesome that a 14 year old could do that. She inspired every girl that you could do anything if you just think about it and practice.]]> 2016-08-29 14:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jlutes/sh596urhl2o4/wish/120313895
