Growing up, Sheryl Crow has vivid memories of gymnasts Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci and figure skater Dorothy Hamill competing in the Olympics.

“I wanted to be a gymnast, but there was no place in a tiny town in Missouri to take gymnastics,” says the singer, who will watch the Beijing Games with son Wyatt on her tour bus next month. “But I did go and get my hair cut in a Dorothy Hamill wedge, which was unfortunate for me because that hairdo didn’t really work so well with curly hair.”

Crow is showing her support for this summer’s Olympic athletes with a new song. The Grammy winner’s tune, “So Glad We Made It,” will appear on the AT&T Team USA soundtrack and during TV broadcasts of the Summer Games.
