Was it Napa's Donny Robinson winning the bronze in BMX Cycling?

Did the 8 golds for Michael Phelps in swimming create your most memorable moment of the Beijing Olympics?

Was it the women's gymnastics, beach volleyball, Usain Bolt's 100/200 world record double, or something else?

Tell us your favorite Olympic moment.

" Seeing Michael Phelps watch the last swimmer in the first relay race. The quivering of his legs and the look of great in trepidation on his face was priceless. Second favorite was watching the Jamaican BOLT win his first gold, breaking a record and simply cruising across the finish line. "

" This is a no brainer, I love the olympics, however waiting and anticipaiting the newest sport of bmx and having one of our very own compete was the best ever, Donny should be given keys to the city!

All of these athlete's and their parents who have made every sacrifice should be praised! "

" Watching Michael Phelps was really exciting. The girls gymnastic was exciting too, but being from Napa, watching one home town man riding that wild BMX course, was really a thrill and may me proud to be from Napa. Congrats Donny.

" My favorite moment was when the mens swimming team won the relay for the gold by the smallest of margins. My second favorite moment was when the chinese gymnast lost control on the rings and fell out of control and hard to the mat. I also liked when the tae kwan doe guy judo kicked the referee in the face. When the U.S. men and women track relay teams both droped the baton was a favorite as well. "
