Pam Litz of Malibu attended the 2012 Olympic Games in London this summer, making it the 12th time she’s visited the games. Litz cheered on team USA at swimming, men’s volleyball and women’s wrestling events and was also in attendance for the closing ceremonies.

In addition to being an avid sports fan, Litz also has a passion for another activity of the game: Olympic pin trading.

This year she was chosen by the Coca-Cola Company as one of their expert pin traders, and she soon found herself in a pin trading contest between former gold-winning medalists Julie Foudy and Summer, which was featured on ABC’s “Nightline”on Aug. 8.
