This year was the first yea I was old enough to comprehend everything that happened. I only got to see a few bits and pieces because I was away at a camp but I did see most of the bug USA swimming events. These were by far my favorite. I would love to know the felling standing on the top of the podium and getting a gold medal for just being the best you can be. I love this blog because it gives me an insight into what you go through and how it feels.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324247753530394200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719790246839571982.post-52560187855848882082008-11-19T06:30:00.000-06:002008-11-19T06:30:00.000-06:00wow. i have to say i was extremely touched by what...wow. i have to say i was extremely touched by what you said about who really deserves the praise. your family, coaches, friends, etc. it still amazes me just how much work and effort and dedication and pride it all takes. i can't speak for other people but sometimes i DO forget about all the work that it's taken to get you where you are today. i'm just so overwhelmed with pride for all of the olympians who represented the USA in beijing. especially the swimmers. and i'm seriously ecstatic at the fact that the sport is continuing to grow in popularity and people who might not have had interest for whatever reason, are getting into it. so yes, i'm very proud of you. and i love how dedicated you are. and how open you are with your fans. <BR/><BR/>switching modes a little bit... the GGs look all swanky. it's sort of funny *to me anyways* how quickly the results made their rounds on the internet. and you're lookin good in your suit! i'm really glad you had a good time in NY with your family too. there is absolutely nothing like that "home" feeling that you get when you're around family.<BR/><BR/>this is pretty much the longest reply i've made - ever. sorry for hogging your space :)<BR/><BR/>ps. congrats, again, on the win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719790246839571982.post-34176965821981849802008-11-19T00:30:00.000-06:002008-11-19T00:30:00.000-06:00So happy for you! :o)So happy for you! :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719790246839571982.post-56576710434792336762008-11-18T23:48:00.000-06:002008-11-18T23:48:00.000-06:00It sounds like you had a great time!
