Love her brilliant ability as a gymnast, but also her extraordinary persistence and wisdom as a human being.
I loved all the athletes I observed at the Olympics whern for some reason I got trapped into endless reruns of a Badminton match. Really?
Otherwise, the best Olympics I have seen, ever--and they are all inspiring. I always wiish the commentators (esp. on high diving and gymnastics) would stop chattering when the athletes are doing so beautifully. ("Well, it's a half point off for that bobble," etc.)
