Withholding nominee until my brain can comprehend all the sports that are going down right now.
August 18, 2008  08:30 AM ET

I nominate Jamaica's Usain Bolt who won the Gold Medal and beat his own world record in the 100-meter race all while running with a shoe untied.

August 18, 2008  09:40 AM ET

I nominate Nastia Lukin and Shawn Johnson for winning Gold and Silver respectively in All Around Gymnastics at the Olympics, making it the first 1-2 finish by Americans in Gymnastics. ;)

August 18, 2008  04:25 PM ET

I second the vote for Lukin for holding off her favored American teammate and the rest of the world to win the Mary Lou Retton Gold Medal.

August 18, 2008  08:57 PM ET

The US Women's soccer team for doing what everyone said they couldn't without Abby Wambach: win! They're in the hunt for gold now, y'all!

August 18, 2008  11:02 PM ET

Manny Ramirez L.A.Dodgers

has hit in 7 of 8 games, has 6 hits, 2 HRs, 8 RBIs

August 19, 2008  08:28 AM ET

I'm going to have to go with Lukin! Not only did she have to deal with the pressure of the Olympics apparently her father is trying to recapture HIS Olympic glory through her! Lots of pressure on a young lady!

August 20, 2008  09:09 AM ET

no contest. Lukin and Johnson. Overcame some seriously questionable judging to grab the gold.

August 20, 2008  12:51 PM ET

no contest. Lukin and Johnson. Overcame some seriously questionable judging to grab the gold......EXACTLY!!!!

August 20, 2008  12:58 PM ET

Ryan Lochte because he's hottttt.

August 20, 2008  01:52 PM ET

Usian Bolt or Nastia Lukin

August 20, 2008  09:29 PM ET

nastia lukin and shawn johnson
no ifs ands or buts

August 20, 2008  10:34 PM ET

I may be wrong, but Usain Bolt won this week, and we're nominating for last.

And Ryan Lochte is very hot. So is Aaron Piersol. Must be the stroke.

August 21, 2008  02:47 PM ET

I also go with Lukin and Johnson!!!

August 21, 2008  03:37 PM ET

Lukin and Johnson. Next week nomination is going to be a bee-yatch: Bolt, May and Walsh, US Women's Soccer... eesh...

Liukin and Johnson were pretty much expected. I nominate the USA men's gymnastics team for managing to achieve a bronze medal with basically a team of alternates.
