My Olympic Hero
From Me to You
My Olympic Hero

Who's your Olympic hero? Michael Jordan for winning the gold in basketball? Kerri Strug for sticking a landing to help her team win the gold in gymnastics? We want to know! Please complete the form below and tell us who your Olympic hero is and why. BASOC and the community are eagerly waiting for your reply.

Kurt Ainsworth
He is my hero because he helped lead the USA Baseball team to victory and is the only San Francisco Giant right now to be holding the gold meadle.

Frank Havens
He broke the world record in the 10-kilometer race in canoeing at the Games of the XV Olympiad in Helsinki in 1952. I know him personally, and he has always taught me how to work hard to get what you want.

Marion Jones
She's very cool and she's a great runner!

Kerri Strug
She is one of the best gymnasts ever. She made the olympic team twice and medaled both times. Even when the going got tough she kept on going.
