No pictures, please.
If there is a newer thread on this, let me know. I was there at Coco's as were you three when Ted Hayes announced that his daughter would be competing (nothing like a proud Papa!) and that he and his family would be going to Athens!
I watched Joanna in the prelim heat on Sunday and the semi-final yesterday, and she looked great! Our best hope now that Gail Devers is out. I believe NBC will broadcast the final tonight.
I enjoy cheering on our U.S. athletes and particularly our local gal, Joanna. I hope the President makes some statements of pride in our Olympic athletes soon. I haven't heard him say much. Some of the athletes have said they dedicate their medals to our soldiers serving in OIF and OEF.
ANJA NIEDRINGHAUS, AP Joanna Hayes, right, of the U.S. wins the 100 hurdles at the 2004 Olympic Games Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2004 in Athens, Greece. She is hugged by bronze medalist Melissa Morrison, also from the U.S.

T'was all in GOD's Plan, Ron.
All in GOD's Plan.
I heard a most gratefu to GOD Father TED HAYES tonight on my car radio talking about his daughter's Record-Braking Olympic GOLD.
He shared how he long knew that in doing GOD's will sooner or later he would be just so blessed. And he shares how his blessings have only just begun.
ALOHA TED & JOANNA

WOW ........Stay safe !
Yay for Ted, and I personally like domes myself - I'm building one on my property right now, and I'm anxious to finish it out! It's survived near-tornadoes and neglect, and I haven't even roofed it yet!
Tell Ted we are SO proud of his girl! She is surely the apple of her father's eye...
Joanna Hayes wins GOLD!

Wow!
CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Okay, I'll have a look at the other thread but want to say hello to the cozy lil group here and give you props for starting the topic originally. I watched hours and hours of Olympic coverage last night and, guess what, fell dead asleep during Joanna's race. What's up with that?!
Enjoyed every bit of the replays and interviews this morning and am talking her up to everyone! From the office to the supermarket to the library, I'm asking "Did you see our local hero?" Woo-hoo.
GOD is GOOD
Thanks for the HAYES Thread Bump!!
I love that Joanna Hayes
wore the American Flag
for her Victory Lap!!!
