Hello Room 19, my favorite part of the Olympics was the women's gymnastics qualification. I would want to try the vault in gymnastics.

One sport that I enjoyed was swimming. I think that it was cool when Team USA beat Team France by 0.08 seconds. Micheal Phelps teammates saved him because if it weren't for them then they would have probably gotten silver or bronze.

I saw the Olympics this year and it rocked. I loved the opening ceremony. The new sport that I discovered was the hand ball.

The sports I liked was swimming and synchronized diving because Michael Phelps made a new world record and his team also won the relay race. I liked synchronized diving since it was cool to watch them do all those tricks in midair and so high and barely make a splash.

My favorite Olympic sport was handball. Hand ball was my favorite sport because it was interesting how the players played the game and was kind of like soccer. The newest sport I discovered was actually handball. That is also why I liked it. One sport I really want to try is field hockey. Since it is like hockey without skates(I can't skate). The most exciting photo was when the US team relay beat France by one 100ths of a second.

The one i most enjoyed the most is swimming because I like to swim and Michael Phelps rocks! The new sport that I learned are fencing. I think T did here of it before but I never really saw someone actually do it. The sports I want to try Olympic swimming, soccer, gymnastics, basketball and volleyball. The most exciting thing is swimming. Michael phelps is supposed to win 8 gold medals in all. He already won 3 so 5 more to go.

My favorite Olympic sport is girls gymnastics. My favorite Olympian is Shawn Johnson because she never falls. I also like her because she is the best on her team. I also like the other people on her team but they always fall.

I enjoyed swimming because U.S.A won all the gold medals. On the relay race, the U.S barely won! There were many sports that I don't know! There was even this game just like soccer, but you need to use your hands. I would like to try swimming and beat the world record.

I really liked the part when they showed swimming because U.S.A. got so many gold, silver, and bronze medals. The best part was when Michael Phelps and his team barely beat France's team. I also liked the part when Michael Phelps won so many medals.

Hi everyone I am excited about the olympics starting. The USA is beating everyone. My four favorite people in the olympics are Kobe Bryant,Michael Phelps,And Gibb and Rosenthal. Gibb and Rosenthal are a beach volleyball team. I watched one of their games where the beat the dutch badly. The won the first match. And then won the second one. They work very well together just like May-Treanor and Carry Walsh. Michael Phelps is going to get many more more medals. He is already tied to the person who has the most gold medals. And he still has many more oppertunities to get a much higher record. Can you belive that in the 2004 olympics Michael Phelps was only 15 I think this is big because he won some medals in the 2004 Olympics.

Hello Room 19, I enjoyed the opening cermony, because it showed how hard people worked for making the Olympics look really good on the first day. The colors were really pretty. Also, how each person could do the same thing together was also pretty impresive.

Hey Room 19, my favorite sports in the Olympics are synchronized diving, gymnastics, and swimming. Michael Phelps is a really good swimmer and has gotten many medals for Team USA. The women gymnastics did really good but took home silver. Synchronized diving is really fun to watch.

Hello room 19

My favorite part of the Olympics was the swimming compitions.For some reason I enjoyed all the swimmer's reactions when they won or lost. Also, the suspension of who was gonna win made me very nervous but my dad always gave it away because he already knew the results.

I usually also enojoy watching the women's diving competition but this year I missed every diving event that was broadcasted.

Hello Room 19

I like swimming because I actually like to swim myself so I just watch and learn. I saw Michael Phelps beat another French swimmer by 0.01 seconds. At first I couldn't tell who actually won buy as I looked Michael Phelps beat it fair and square. Today I just saw a diving event and I believe this is the first time China didn't get gold in diving. It's really surprising.
