What is your favorite memory.The most amazing race I ever saw was the 200 Breaststroke in the 1968 Olympics. The only gold medal won by a Mexican at the Games Was by Felipe Munoz. Every time he breathed the crowd screamed MEXICO, I have never experienced such passion for a swimming event,(I only saw it on T.V. I can't imagine what it was like in person.)
My favorite Olympic moment hands down was seeing the Magnificent 7 win the team gold medal in 1996. I'm from the Atlanta area so those Olympics were very special to me. The buildup, planning and anticipation were so exciting to be a part of! I was blessed to have an old family friend who was very wealthy. He gave us BOX tickets to the FINALS of the Women's Gymnastics Team competition!!! It was incredible!! When Keri Shrug nailed her vault to win the team competition,despite her badly injured ankle, the whole Georgia Dome shook with all the applause and cheering! I had tears in my eyes. The fortitiude and determination it took for her to do that.....truly the Olympic spirit in human form! My two daughters were with me and despite their young ages, 5 and 8, they remember it well. It was an awesome moment. I have priceless pictures of my family with the team on the medal podium in the background. My 5 year old cried when we had to leave the Dome when the competiton was over....she didn't want it to end and neither did I.
