Week #7 Answers
Since this was a writing challenge there are no answers, so instead, I have shared a fact from each participant's biography. Thank you to those who took the time and challenge.
1. Tiffany and Kaley are looking forward to watching Gabrielle Douglas's return to gymnastics in this year's Olympics. Who knew that she likes to knit and read in the little free time that she has?
2. Noah found out about Brad Atkins who is a high jumper and who interestingly grew up on a cotton farm.
3. Grace is interested in swimming, so she can't wait to see how Cammile Adams performs in Rio after a successful 2012 Olympics.
4. Johnathon is looking forward to LeBron James playing in his 4th Olympic games for the USA basketball team.
5. Zach is also looking forward to basketball and watching Kevin Durant's performance. He is hoping for another gold like in 2012.
6. Deven is excited to see how Molly Huddle does in track and field, especially since she is a Notre Dame graduate. 
7. Ben loves soccer, so he has his eye on Jozy Altidore who is a young male forward who won the US Soccer Male Athlete of the Year in 2013.
8. Maddy can't wait to see how Simone Biles does in gymnastics after winning 16 medals in 2012.
9. Finally, Zach thinks Paul George is one of the best defenders in the NBA today, so he should have a successful Olympics in Rio as well.
