Mary Lou Retton - America's Gymnastics Pixie. She had it all.
Kerri Strug - Even with a broken ankle, she won us the gold.
Peekaboo Street - She just has a cool name.
Dara Torres - Winning Olympic medals at age 41 AND being mom to a toddler!
Kristi Tamaguchi - so you think you can dance, dunno, just like to watch her skate.
Bonnie Blair - Lightening on Ice from Texas.
Nancy Kerrigan - even after all the drama, yes she was the victim, but despite being the victim, she was genuinely likable, and she got caught saying that being in a parade at Disney was "corny."
Karch Kiraly - this guy MADE beach volleyball an olympic-worthy sport.
Greg Louganis - hit his head on the diving board and kept on going.
Michael Phelps. No need to say anything more than those two words. Michael Phelps.

Good list!
Totally forgot about Karch! Love his hats. And Peekaboo Street...indeed a cool name.
I almost picked Picabo Street because of her name, and I totally forgot some of those you mentioned like Bonnie Blair and Karch Kiraly. Great photos you found of their moments.
love your post! the photos speak volumes.
I'm sorry, I never saw your answer for #5 - I don't think it went through but the song is still open for answering if you know it! :)
Nice list :)

Ditto on Michael Phelps!
