What's Your Favorite Summer Olympic Event?

Which Olympic event has you glued to the screen?

As a little girl, the Summer Olympics had me mesmerized. I remember watching Nadia Comaneci in the 1976 Montreal games as she scored perfect 10s -- and dreaming of the day when I could grow up to be just like her.

The Olympics give us wings to dream -- the belief that anything is possible, with hard work and dedication. Young athletes can go for the gold, and reach the pinnacle of success, if they just believe.

Today, the 2012 Summer Olympics, held in London, will fuel the dreams of a new generation.
