I've been a huge fan of the Olympics my whole life. I would love to go to the Olympics and be an ambassador of sorts for the USA. I've been a fan of sports for my whole life, but I believe the cultural exchange and interraction mixed with the sense of pride and unity of my country would be the most rewarding experiences.

The dissapointment on my little boys face was terrible when we didn't get the tickets we applied for. 2nd chance tickets were no chance tickets. The chance to win tickets so my lad might see his heroes would be fantastic

It is not me that I feel deserve these tickets, but my husband is very deserving. He retired 2 years ago after 32 years of teaching and coaching of high school students. THis man worked for the kids, he would pack them in his car( which he wore out several at his expense) and take them home if they did not have a way to participate in track or ball. He tried to inspire them. After retiring, he was awarded the highest honor that coaches can receive in the State of North Carolina, "The 8 Who Made a Difference" and when we run into some of his past students that are now in their 30's and 40's, that are teachers, princlipes and business people, I hear them calling out for Mr. Medlin, I know in their voices and words, that he did make a difference. So, not me that is deserving but this retired coach would enjoy this opportunity.

I don't know if I deserve to win, but I know that my girlfriend has wanted to go with her two best friends ever since the last Olympics. They all live far away from eachother, and they don't get to see eachother very often. I do know that they deserve the trip.
-
I think I should go because it is a chance of a lifetime, but if I don't win.... I hope that the winner of the contest would not make a poor choise and wait his/her time at London and do other things.

i've been planning to attend the olympics since the previous one. I am a swimmer and i love swimming it's my escape from reality after having a long day hitting that pool their is no other feeling in the world like it. It's healing and soothing i love the swimmers who perfect this craft and i would love to go to the Olympics in one of the most grandest places in the world London.

I will be in London during the Olympiad, and would love to represent Oklahoma at the basketball game. As a new participant in the NBA, fans of Oklahoma City's team now truly have basketball fever, and I would like to show the world what a great basketball fan looks like (working on my hat RIGHT NOW)!
-
you should see my man cave, basketball, Wall to wall. Never left the US, (due to money), my sister has always wanted to shop in London, mom could use the break from work, dad is about the same as me with basketball. the list goes on and on. knowing a lot of people will sign up for this, i highly doubt i would win this, but all one can do is cross their figners.
-
I love basketball and I would love to go to London! Also, I heard a rumor that Paul McCartney and Ringo might be playing at the Olympics! I would love to see that!!!!!
-
Theres nothing i love more than basketball. i have never had a chance to watch any games live due to the high prices and either has any of my family. we are all big basketball fans it this would be a great opportunity for me and my 3 little brothers to go and watch it. This would be an experience of a lifetime for them. much appreciated
-
I do not deserve this ticket, because i don't have the possibility of transportation.

"Why do you deserve to win these sought after Olympics tickets?"
Its been a lifelong dream to not only go to the Olympics but to go to London, etc. Simply put, there is no way I would otherwise be able to do something even remotely like this. Please help. Thanks!

I live in London but got no tickets, and Basketball is one of my favourite sports. I've played it and watched it (on tv!) most of my life. I will also pledge to dance ridiculously during any music breaks. I may or may not join in with the cheerleaders, you'll have to see.
-
Although the Olympics show off the best of the best in the athletic world, I feel that attending them is what the rest of us would love to do. I will never make it to the London Olympics without the assistance of others and for the chance to have this glimmer of hope would be more than one can imagine. Good luck to everyone!
-
I Love they olympics and I love London getting to go see one of the greatest and oldest sporting events in history at a great city like London would be an honor
-
I deserve these tickets because I love sports, its been a dream of mine to go and we applied for some tickets and didn't get any, If I don't go to the Olympic games in London I will never be able to go unless It comes to London again which i don't think it will.
-
No one person deserves these tickets. Everyone has hardships and life issues that they have to cope with. It would be great if everyone could get these tickets. Everyone deserves to go because we all deal with enormous hardships. If I were to win these tickets, I promise to take with me someone else that has also suffered hardships. I will make good use of these tickets and I am capable of taking care of any associated costs for myself. Thank you for this opportunity to participate! Good will to all!

I totally agree but some people won't because they are spoiled .

Basketball Prelims?
-
I think i deserve to win the tickets is becouse well i live in Bulgaria which is actually the most corrupted contry in EU we almost dont get money at all we are basicly broke and i have no future in this contry i beleave and i really want to go to a nice conty like Britain so i can have a life thath are my resions plus seing the olympics is asome
-
USUK No way!
-
I deserve to win these tickets because like so many Brits I applied and because of the unfair, and nonsensical way in which they were distributed I, my family and everyone I know who applied didn't receive tickets. Britain hasn't had the Olympics for 64 years and I don't want to have to wait until i'm 83 to get a second chance at attending. London will host the best Olympics in 64 years and I want the chance to attend!
-
The Reason I deserve these tickets is: I am a huge fan of the olympics, but i could never afford tickets. I have also really wanted to go to london! Perfect opporotunity.
-
Why I want to win tickets? well, I used to live in London, haven't been back for years ,due to anxiety and panic attacks, and if anything were gonna finally get me back on a plane again, with a few valium to keep me company, the incentive of getting in to the Olympics, and being able to see how much they have regentrified my last old neighborhood of Hackney-Wick might just do the job! :)

If only airfare were included as well :)
