The Coca-Cola 8-pack of Athletes of the Olympic Games {I'm a Coca-Cola Olympics Ambassador!} #Coke8pack

As the countdown the Summer Olympic games continues to tick by, I get more excited for it all to begin. Just watching the Olympic trials has had me on the edge of my seat cheering along with these amazing athletes who are able to jump for joy at realizing their dream... or cry with heartache over missing it by tenths or hundredths of a second.

This year, Coca-Cola has made the celebration a little more special — as a partner of the 2012 Summer Olympic games in London! 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.

These incredible athletes include:

Shawn Johnson (gymnastics)
Henry Cejudo (wrestling)
Alex Morgan (soccer)
John Isner (tennis)
Jessica Long (U.S. Paralympics team – swimming)
Marlen Esparza (boxing)
David Boudia (diving)
David Oliver (track and field)

To celebrate the Olympic Games, My Coke Rewards created an exciting, interactive experience that will help visitors learn about each athlete and use My Coke Rewards points to redeem exclusive U.S. Olympics and Coca-Cola merchandise. Visitors will also be able to take a quiz on each of their favorite athletes from the 8-pack and unlock other unique opportunities.

As I am going to be focusing on the talented tennis star John Isner, keep an eye out here for more information about him soon (such as his first Coca-Cola experience, the inspiration he has received from his mother, and more). As an added bonus, I'll be giving away a fantastic Coca-Cola Olympics Prize Pack valued at $100, so you won't want to miss that opportunity starting on Monday!

John has already been "unlocked" on My Coke Rewards, so you can head over there right now to take his quiz, enter to win prizes, and much more!

Are you ready for the Olympic games to begin? The Opening Ceremonies will be here before we know it, so I'm just counting down the days... in the meantime, be sure to visit My Coke Rewards and find out about the Coca-Cola 8-pack so that you can be even more prepared (and excited) to cheer on all of the amazing athletes when they compete in London!
