You’ve probably heard about U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney and her pouty scowl after only winning a silver medal last weekend. Most people would be impressed with medaling in the Olympics, but no, not McKayla. She is definitely not impressed–and neither are we with her poor sportsmanship. But there is a hilarious new series of her “I’m not impressed” photos about it that makes the whole thing laughable (almost). More
The press is obsessed with Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones, but her teammates Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells are the ones taking home medals after yesterday’s 100-meter hurdles final, in which Jones finished fourth. It’s easy to sympathize with her loss, just shy of a medal after famously losing on a hit hurdle in Beijing, but in an interview with Michelle Beadle on NBC today, her teammates seem unmoved by her misfortune. Instead, they seemed to revel in rubbing in her loss, coming off as sore losers, despite their wins. More
Olympian and giant man Michael Phelps told US Weekly that he would consider following in Hope Solo and Apolo Ohno‘s footsteps by doing a season on Dancing With The Stars. And while I’ve never really watched the show with that much interest before, an appearance from Phelps could definitely, definitely get me to tune it. For several reasons. More
Olympic track star Lolo Jones finished fourth in yesterday’s 100-meter hurdles, but it wasn’t missing out on a medal by one-tenth of a second–and even though she tweeted that she had a “broken heart”–that made her cry, it was the sexist reporter from the New York Times who bashed her and all her hard work just because she’s got sex appeal. More
Olympic swimmer Cameron van der Burgh has not only been accused of cheating during the men’s 100-meter breaststroke (which he “won” and set a world record), but he has admitted to it. What’s worse than his cheating though is his attitude about the whole thing–and the fact that he’s not the only one who gets away with it (unlike those female badminton players). More
Blame it on the brownie! U.S. Olympic judo competitor Nick Delpopolo was sent home from the Olympics yesterday after testing positive for THC, the active component in marijuana. Oh man. What a sad, embarrassing, and silly reason to be disqualified. More

Since when did the Olympics become all about being sexy versus competing, representing your country and striving for a gold medal? Like, suddenly the way a female athlete looks is an open invitation for the body-snarking, fat-shaming comments to begin. But if you ask American weightlifter, Holley Mangold (who happens to be the heaviest woman at the Games this summer), she is proud of her weight and is fighting back–and so are many other Olympic women.

Starting with ESPN’s Body Issue, our obsession with athlete bodies in the 2012 Olympics exploded–and it’s still going strong. Watching athletes accomplish their goals at the Olympics can provide some of the best inspiration to set your own goals at home, but the media coverage and advertising surrounding the games can send a more confusing message. Tabloids (and even serious news outlets) have taken shocking jabs at medalists’ weight and shape this year, and advertisers are–as usual–exploiting top athletes’ form and athletic prowess to promote their products (including McDonald’s).

Even if you’re not into watching the Olympics, it’s tough not to get inspired by the athletes’ performances (and the parents who cheer for them). And although you’re not exactly active while watching the events, the energy of the games is contagious: It makes us want to set our own goals, get moving, and become champions ourselves…even if it’s only in competition against our own personal best. So we found Olympics posters and prints to keep the feeling year-round. More
Have you heard the big news? Ryan Lochte, America’s drool-worthy swimmer, wants to cash-in on his Olympic fame. And no, not by endorsing his own line of  fashionable grills. Lochte is coming out with his own line of workout videos, of course! It’s just another lame way that some athletes try to make money off of their sport. More
For everyone out there googling Ryan Lochte girlfriend, sad news: His mom says not to get your hopes up Even if you DO get a date with the Olympic swimmer, you’re probably going to get burned: “He goes out on one-night stands,” Ike Lochte, told Today.com. “He’s not able to give fully to a relationship because he’s always on the go.” More
At the Olympic Games this Saturday one South African athlete, Oscar Pistorius (aka, the ‘Blade Runner’ runner), will make his mark in history by running on artificial limbs in the 400-meter sprint. The only problem is, some skeptics claim his prosthetic legs give him an unfair advantage. More
Despite the recent-ish crackdown on doping in the Olympics and other professional sports, the fact is that, for as long as there have been athletes trying to win physical competitions, there have been athletes who would try anything to gain any advantage possible. Including, according to Reuters, eating animal testicles, which apparently ancient Olympians did as an early form of doping. Oh, I’m sorry, were you planning on eating lunch soon? More
