From swimming to gymnastics to track & field (and many more!) the 2012 Olympic Summer games in London have already proven to be a not-to-be-missed event. Around here we've been watching since the Olympic trials and my kids are amazed to hear that these are the fastest swimmers or most talented tennis players in the world.
In the whole world? Big Sister E asks. I nod. You mean the whole wide earth?
I have to admit that the thought is pretty amazing to me as well.
Therefore, if you missed my news earlier this month, I'm thrilled to have a chance to be a Coca-Cola Olympics Ambassador and work with Coca-Cola to share their role as a partner in the Olympic games. Even better, Coca-Cola has teamed up with an extremely talented group of athletes that are training for the Olympic Games and has dubbed them The Coca-Cola 8-pack of athletes.
While all eight of the athletes are incredible, I'm happy to be focusing on tennis superstar John Isner, as he is an inspiration and great role model for young tennis hopefuls everywhere.
Having been a featured athlete on MyCokeRewards.com, you can head over right now and find out about John, his family, significant events in his life, how he stays active, and much more. Simply take his fun quiz and you'll not only discover the answers but get to hear the personal answers right from John himself.
When it comes to his favorite memory of Coca-Cola, I loved hearing about John's childhood experience and memories of going to the hot dog hut with his grandfather. What better way to be introduced to the delicious flavor of Coca-Cola than by going with your grandfather every Sunday and picking up a hot dog for $1 and an ice cold Coke for only 10¢!
While we didn't have a hot dog hut around when I was young, I can remember pulling up to the grocery store and being excited to see the hot dog truck set up in the parking lot. Back then the Coke was served in those waxy paper cups and never tasted sweeter or more refreshing!
Be sure to head over to My Coke Rewards to join in the fun - along with getting to know the 8-pack of athletes, there are also weekly prizes and an instant win game! As a reminder, the complete list of Olympians that you can get to know through this unique campaign are:

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 215 of 215 Newer› Newest»My first time that I remember was as a kid mom gave it to me to settle an upset stomach and it really worked :)
The first taste of coke was in a drug store at a neighboring town. It was served on ice in a glass from a dispenser. No bottled cokes back then. It was delicious but strong and addictive, hence the name "coke".
Having coke was a treat for a special occasion or family get together. It reminds me of spending time with my grandparents.
After seeing the commercial with everyone singing when I was little, I tried one in a small glass bottle... loved it! sonyadmorris@gmail.com
I remember my brother bringing it home from work in glass bottles.
Sneaking my Aunt's cokes out of my Grandmothers refrigerator when she would come over.
I had my first Coke over 50 years ago. If I remember right it came in a glass bottle and cost 5 cents. I thought it tasted great then and I still do. Love all the Coke items in this giveaway. Thanks for having the contest!
My Grandpa worked at a small town Post Office. We used to go in the back to see him. They had an old coke machine, the ones that had glass coke bottles in it. That is the only place we ever got bottled cokes.
I remember my mom letting me have my first Coke. I was about 12 and felt so grown up.
