The Summer Olympics 2012

Do you want to be in the Olympics? Well I do want to be in the Olympics.Team USA won many medals in the 2012 games. In all they won 104 medals. There was 49 gold medals, 29 silver, and 29 bronze medals.Allison Schmitt , Missy Franklin , and Ryan Lochte got five medals each.Gymnast  Gabby Douglas is the fourth U.S female to get a gold medal.I feel like I should be Ryan Lochte because  he is a great swimmer. What do you think? I feel good USA won so many medals. Team USA competed in all Olympics expect one. I am guessing there are over 200 Olympic medals across America. There was 530 athletes from America to compete in the Olympics.There were 261 men and 269 women to compete. I feel like that is a lot of American athletes .  Don’t you think so ? The best person I think is good is Missy Franklin. You do you think is the best? I want to get a gold medal. I feel happy for the men and women who got medals because they work real hard to get medals.No US athletes won medals for saling since 1931.

I really liked the Olympics too. Micheal Phelps was awesome. The new system on Youtube got many people able to watch it at places like at work.

Dear Arya,

This topic is very intriguing... If I have the chance, I would go to compete in the Olympics. I think you would fit in the Olympics as a swimmer if you are an outstanding at swimming.261 men and 269 women does sound like a huge amount of people. I also think Missy Franklin is the best.

Sincerely,

Arya-

You must watch every Olympic. The 2012 Olympics was good. A lot of tough Athletes to go race. Every one has their own point of view my favorite Athlete is Kevin Durant from the United states basketball team. Good post Arya.

Great blog! My favorite athlete that attented the Olympics is also Missy Franklin. She sure won a lot of medals.
There are sure a lot of US athletes that went to London to go to the Olympics. You are definetly right that they work hours to win those medals.
Well......I really never wanted to be an Olympic star. My mom told me that you can have major injuries just from practicing. I bet you will become a great Olympic star if you work hard.

Go Arya!

Hi Arya,

Nice Blog! I never knew you wanted to be in the Olympics until know. What activity do you want to try out anyway? I think the best Olympian is Gabby Douglas and Micheal Phelps. I am not sure whether I want to be in the Olympics, and if I want to be in it I would try for swimming. I have experienced with swimming because i went to swimming classes and I have went to gymnastics but I'm not that flexible. Being in the Olympics is not that easy because there are tough challengers.Though at least if you tried your best that's what matters.

Hi Arya,

I am also happy for the athletes of our country. I think that everyone in the Olympics worked really hard, from the athletes around the world who trained for hours on end to the volunteers who participated in making the event possible. It was fun to watch all the famous athletes (like Michael Phelps and Gabby Douglas) and cheer them on from the living room couch. It would be nice to see someone from the US win the sailing event. Last year set a lot of records, according to what I've heard.

Hi Arya,
I also think that it would be great to be in the Olympics. Just like you, I think Ryan Lochte is a great swimmer. Great post!

Angela said...

I also want to get a gold metal. The US have many athletes but I was suprised there were more women.
I wish Micheal Phelps didn't retire but at least other people will get a chance to be 1st.

Hi Arya
Nice Blog. I have a question. Why did you leave out Micheal Phelps? That was his last Olympics. Well Nice Blog.

I'd also like to be in the Olympics. Ryan Lochte is a great swimmer. I think you are like Ryan and you take lessons for swimming and you get better. 530 athletes is a lot! I think the best athlete is Ryan Lochte. I also like to swim. Your blog was informational and "interesting".

Michelle said...

I like the Olympics too. I like the beach volleyball games. It's fun watching the Olympics. I also like to watch the swimmers like Micheal Phelps. I also liked your post Arya.

Anisha said...

Hi Arya. I never thought about competing in the Olympics. I think you would be a great Olympic star!
I think Gabby Douglas was the best.

Sohan said...

Arya,
Great blog! I would like to be in the Olympics if I could. I think it could be fun. Micheal Phelps is my favorite Olympic star. Did you know that he won 22 medals in his career? 15 of them are gold. I hope I see you someday at a future Olympic contest. That would be surprising!

joshua said...

Michael Phelp rocks! He broke the record by getting 22 gold medals! I wish Michael Phelps did not retire. He could have beat his own record. This year he was better than last year. Another person in the olympics I liked was Missy Franklin.


Nice post Arya!

Wow Arya!

I thought the Olympics were great, too! My favorite player was Andy Murray, who won GOLD at tennis! I think I can probably win gold at tennis, too!

Thanks for your support, Mihir!

Arya-

I never knew that there were more than 400 people from the USA competing in the Olympics. I think Micheal Phelps shouldn't have retired. I also never knew that the USA won more than 100 medals. My favorite athlete is Micheal Phelps even though he retired.

Akash said...

Arya-
My favorite competitor was Michael Phelps. I feel sad that his last competition happened this year. He won a gold medal on his last event, the relay. The amount of people who competed for the US are a large amount! I do think that you could compete in the Olympics If you practiced a lot. Maybe I'll see you In the Olympics in the future!!!

Alexander said...

Hi Aya,
I am impressed and happy for the athletes from the US. These athletes like Gabby Douglas and Michel Phelps work very hard and persevere to achieve these goals. I also watched the Olympics at my grandmas house sitting on the couch and cheering the athletes even though we where not there. Last year we got high records
That's what I saw.

Arya-
I really liked your blog. I'm interested in the olympics too. My favorite athlete was Gabby Douglas. The Olympic stars work most of their time practicing for these games. I hope that one day you will represent the U.S.A!

Ella said...

Arya-

I love your blog! I want to London and I saw Serena and Venus play tennis, and Carrie Walsh and Misty May Treanor play volleyball. I personally like Venus and Serena because they are great female role models and a great inspiration to all. We almost missed an event due to time changes. I think you will be a great Olympic athlete as you are a great swimmer. Congrats!

Karisa said...

Arya,
I think going to the olympics would be a good choice for you. You will get a gold medal if you practice very hard. I heard that many of the athletes had started practicing when they were very young. I think the olympics is a very good topic. Nice Blog!!!

Super Shriansh said...

Hey Arya,
I also liked the Olympics. If I could choose any job, I would pick an Olympic runner. My favorite was Micheal Phelps.
