There have been many great moments in the 2012 Olympic games in London.

Some of them include Michael Phelps winning the most decorated Olympian of all time, or when 16-year-old Gabby Douglas won a gold medal in gymnastics.

A simple Google search turns up a number of “Top 10” lists by news and sports websites detailing their versions. Here’s an example on AlthonSports.com.

So what your favorite moments during the Olympic games? We’ve provided a list of a few in our poll below as well as a chance for you to name you own in the comments. So go ahead and take our poll and share your ideas in the comments.
