Well our 9th winner finally came in and got her prize pack today so I thought I would finish showing you the pictures from all of our London 2012 Olympic Winners.   Debbie was our winner for our second Thursday of the competition a couple of weeks ago.

Though it was a light day for medals, there was still plenty of drama at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Monday. Here’s a recap of the day’s action:

I don't even know what to say. I guess it's too much to ask for a little sensitivity any more. Gabby Douglas made history as the first African-American female gymnast to win individual Olympic gold in the Women's All-Around Gymnastics competition. Granted, the video was titled 'racist,' so my mind immediately went there. Check out the video and let us know: Is it racist or just poorly timed? Read

The spotlight turned to the track and field events at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Sunday. Here’s a recap of the day’s action:

Michael Phelps extended his record as the Olympics’ most decorated athlete in London on Saturday, while the host country had its best night yet. Here’s a recap of the day’s events:

US swimmers Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin added to their impressive medal collections on Friday at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Here’s a recap of the day’s action from the London Games:

The 2012 U.S. women’s gymnastics team nabbed the gold at the Olympics, defeating Russia, who took the silver. Go girls! The U.S. women’s gymnasts have not won the gold medal since 1996, so it’s been a while. Perhaps that’s why so many pop stars were quick to issue tweets offering their hearty congratulations to the ladies for their big win!

American swimmer Michael Phelps became the most decorated athlete in Olympic history Tuesday, while the United States and China remained tied atop the overall medal count of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Here’s a recap of the day’s Olympic action:

This is probably the weirdest Olympics related thing I've come across so far. You can go to the BBC website and enter your height/weight, and they'll find the Olympic athlete who most closely matches your numbers. My results were less mortifying than I thought...

The US swim team captured two gold medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Monday, while the US men’s gymnastics squad disappointed. Here’s what happened at the London Games:

Ah, Ryan Lochte’s grill… that shining beacon of American freedom. The Olympic swimmer is turning heads for his uniquely bling-tastic mouthwear. According to a recent interview, Ryan’s grill — which is a retainer filled with diamonds — is the swimmer’s “unique way of showing personality.” We all know it has the power to inspire millions, but we wondered –- what else can it do?

This video is all kinds of awkward. Aly Raisman is competing with the US gymnastics team at the Olympics, and her parents seem like they're really, um, invested. (Maybe a little too invested?) Either way, I imagine this is what it looks like to watch people watching a 3D movie.
