Olympic Moments
One of the most memorable Olympic moments to me, was when the Slovenian cross-country skier, Petra Majdic, won a bronze medal with a colapsed lung, and a few broken ribs. She is an amazing athelete and will be an insperation for generations to come. 
She was one of the two winners of the Terry Fox award, along with Canadian, Joannie Rochette, who recently lost her mother. 
When racing in a race before she won a bronze medal, Petra Majdic had fallen off the course into a pile of rocks. Breaking ribs, and colapsing a lung she crawled out of the pit, with help from paramedics. Somehow she found the strength to compete in the next race, and win the bronze medal for her country.
I also found Joannie Rochette's story very inspiring as well. I was truly amazed at her determinaton and grit. Loseing a family member can be very painful, But losing your mother, I can only imagine how bad that would be.
Just a few days before her opening skate, Joannie Rochette's mother passed away from an unexpected heart attack. Even though her mother was gone Joannie somehow found the strength to win a bronze medal for Canada.
THANKS! Tell me if you find any mistakes that I missed!
Olympic Graph
This is my Olympic graph and it was really fun to make. It took along time to figure out how to get it on here though. I found it as no suprise when hockey had the most people, but I really liked watching the bobsleigh, and luge. I was suprised when no one picked it. I interviewed 19 people about the most watched sports and I even asked myself. I said skiing but now im not really sure why i did...
HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!
ps. Please leave a comment!!

Olympic Logo
I chose this symbol because I think it represents the Olympics really well. I put on inukshuks because the Olympics are in Vancouver this year and inukshuks are a part of the Aboriginal culture in that area. I also put alot of Olympic rings because they are the symbol of all the Olympics. It represents the Olympics spirit bacuse all of the inukshuks are smiling and cheering each other on, and most of all their all having fun!
Lights Will Guide You Home
This video is very inspiring. It really inspires people to go for their dreams and never give up no matter who they are or what they want to do. It's very cool to see all the different torches and people who carried them. Those people seemed really overjoyed and excited to be able to carry the torch. All the people following, cheering, and encoraging you would make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. It would be something that you would never forget.
Some of the ways the Olympic torch has been lit have been, under water, catapulted up into the couldron, passed candle, to candle to the couldron, ran, skied, dogsled, a boy in a wheel chair, by train, and probably many other ways that I just don't know. I thought it was really cool when the torch was catapulted up into the couldron, that was truly amazing.

Bonnie Blair- the Winter Olympian of the Century!
Bonnie Blair was born on March 18, 1964, in Cornwall, New York, but grew up in Champaign, Illinois. She started skating when she was only 2 years old and 4 of her 5 siblings went on to win titles in national skating events, but none of them were as talented as Bonnie. She wanted to go to the 1982-1983 world circuit, but her family did not have enough money to send her to compete. Some people in her town fundraised so she could go. She competed next in the 1984 Olympics, in Sarajevo. She didn't win any medals. Bonnie won her first medals in the Calgary Olympics. She won gold in the 500 meters and bronze in the 1000 meters. In 1992 at Albertville games, she set recoreds in the 500 and 1000 meter races. She became the first woman to win back-to-back gold medals in the same event. Later she got a gold medal in Norway and became the first woman to win 5 gold medals and a bronze. She won the James E. Sullivan Award and also became the first woman to win and Oscar Mathisen Award. She was inducted into the U.S. Hall of Fame. She is the most decorated women in U.S history, and is now a motivational teacher.
