It's good to see Team USA at the top of the medal table, where such a group of talented and dedicated athletes deserve to be. Congrats to Michael Phelps for ending his career with a gold medal, giving

I'm a bigger fan of the Winter Olympics, but I'll still catch some of the events when I can.

I must say... I recognize a lot more flags during this Olympics, ever since joining VJ! :D

Larisa Latynina is the most decorated Olympian of all-time with 18 medals – Michael Phelps has 16 and is hoping to break that record. I hope he does.

The first world records of the London 2012 Olympics have been set by a blind South Korean archer -- hours before Friday's much-anticipated opening ceremony was due to begin.

Im Dong Hyun is legally classified as blind and cannot see out of his right eye, but it did not stop the two-time gold medalist bettering his own leading 72-arrow score in the qualification competition at Lord's cricket ground in the British capital.

They did set a bar fairly high. I imagine it will either be the Germans, or the US the surpasses that spectacle, although Rio has a pretty good chance in 2016. Carneval!

Yes the Brazilians do have a shot - providing that they spend enough and are creative.

The budget for the London ceremony is less than half of the estimated spending on the Beijing equivalent in 2008, reported Reuters, coming in at about 27 million pounds or $42 million.

Why did anybody expect much from their opening ceremony when they couldn't even design a logo and a mascot impressively from the very beginning? unsure.gif
