I was watching Fox News this morning and the American snowboarder who got a gold in the halfpipe was talking about the music he was listening to.\n\nHe said most of the olympians were listening to hip/hop and rap. He said that he was listening to Led Zepplin and AC/DC.\n\nGood quality classic rock, apparently the best way to get psyched up for an olympic event-prior to winning a gold medal.

The swimmer with the MOST Olympic medals is Jenny Thompson of the USA with 12.\n\nIn an incredible Olympic career beginning in 1992, Jenny has won eight golds, three silvers and a bronze. Until the recent Games in Athens, the record stood at eight medals, an achievement shared by Dawn Fraser (Australia), Kornelia Ender (GDR), and Shirley Babashoff (USA).\n\nOn the men's side, both Mark Spitz & (USA) Matt Biondi (USA) each won 11 medals in Olympic competition.

For me personally, Messi. Great talent. Always turns up in the right frame of mind to play to the best of his ability, from what I have seen anyhow.

He was born in Whittier, California.  \n\nI haven't heard of him much, but then again, I've only checked the newspaper for Olympic news in Torino in the past few days.  ^^

The athlete is representing his or her country. They themselves may not be patriotic, but the olympic gaims were created to bring one another together regardless of religion, belief and without Geo-political ties. Many watching feel pride to have their countries anthem played in honor of a feat.

I think so.  She's proven over time to be better than almost everyone the U.S. has.  No one should lose an Olympic dream due to injury.  The USOC made the right call.

my favorite sport is track. this is my favorite sport because i love to run and for me, when i run, i feel like i am in another world. i think a lot when i run and it is very relaxing and calming. when i am in a bad mood i will run really agressively to get my anger out. also when i compete in track, the feeling of getting in front of everyone is such a great feeling, knowing youre the fastest. also its a great and extremely healthy way to burn calories and tone your legs

I love tennis, it has been a huge part of my life.  I am a big fan of Federer, who is unbelieveable, and the homefront boys of Andy Roddick, Andre Aggasi, and James Blake.

I could not find him in the Olympic database. What year? Spelling could be wrong.
