As a way to honor their hosts at the 2012 London Olympics, the athletes of Team USA try to wrap their tongues around "Cockney" rhyming slang. As you might expect, they put on a sorry performance. But fortunately it's also nothing short of hysterical, guv'nor.
The athletes have been training for the last four years. The city has been preparing for the last seven years. And the fans have been booking their tickets for months and months. The 2012 London Summer Olympics are upon us!
With the Olympics coming to London this summer, we thought we’d take a look at some amazing facts and traditions that make up part of this celebrated global event.
Forget the 2012 Summer Olympics, what people really want to see are a bunch of hipsters throwing confetti and horned-rimmed glasses at each other while chugging down bottles of beer. That's the 2012 Hipster Olympics for yah.
Australia's Michelle "Shelly" Jenneke competed in the IAAF World Junior Championship held in Barcelona last weekend; and although she won't be competing in the London Olympics, she's already won the heart of the Web.
One day Quidditch may be part of the Summer Olympics. But for now the sport J.K. Rowling invented in her 'Harry Potter' books will settle on holding its latest tournament in close proximity to the Games of the XXX Olympiad, which will take place in London later this month.
One of the highlights of the 2012 Olympics will undoubtedly be diving. There's been some stiff competition this year, especially in the preliminary rounds, and all the athletes have been killing themselves trying to look as graceful as possible while tumbling through the air. How do we know? There's something on each diver's face that just reads, "This stunt is kind of difficult to do."
Has Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones, who famously tweeted that she's a virgin, finally found the perfect man? On 'The Tonight Show' last night, Jones jokingly said she's got her eye on none other than Tim Tebow. Now Tebow has yet another reason to take a knee.
Leave it to an Englishman to make the 2012 Olympic torch run one of the cutest moments in the history of the games.
Lolo Jones was going to be a big deal at the 2012 Summer Olympics no matter what. Not only is the American among the gold medal favorites in the 60 and 100 meters hurdles but she is quite attractive. In fact, we think she bears a resemblance to 'Parks and Recreation' star Rashida Jones. (No relation.)
But the Olympian made a disclosure earlier this week that is sure turn spotlight on her even brighter. In an interview to air on 'Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel,' Jones, 29, came out as a virgin.
