"Is it just me or did the women gymnasts have 'white trash' names?" UrbanBaby.com does the Olympics.

One of the most frustrating things about watching the Olympics is knowing that you personally, would definitely be up there winning mad gold medals if only your mom hadn't let you quit gymnastics in third grade/refused to buy you a bow and arrow in fourth grade/failed to encourage you to pursue discus-throwing as a hobby two years outside of college/etc.

Did you watch the women's gymnastics finals live? Watching any Olympics at all right now? Let's talk about it in here.

If you've been watching a lot of NBC's Olympics coverage, you've probably seen this Subway commercial. "Try avocado on any sub," beseeches winter Olympian Apolo Ohno. And then this graph appears on the screen. What does this graph mean?

Inspired by the Olympics, a 34-year-old Brit on holiday in the southern French city of Biarritz reportedly decided to go for a swim all the way across the Atlantic, but was forced to turn around less than a quarter-mile offshore.

For some reason, internet public opinion has turned against Ryan Lochte, this year's Michael Phelps. It may have been his poor leg in the relay, or his loss in the 200m freestyle. Or it may have been the grill he sported on the medal podium in the race he did win. But there are a lot of reasons to love Ryan Lochte: the fact that his Twitter avatar appears to be a photo he took of a TV screen showing his face, for example.

The internet is having a tantrum over NBC's terrible coverage of the Olympics. It's an entertaining spectacle, but nothing new. Since the early days of the World Wide Web, it's been used to shit on NBC's coverage of the Olympics.

According to Yahoo!, the squad, comprised of females in very good shape who wear orange short skirts, has developed a "small, but devoted following" from Olympic viewers regardless of what time their event airs on NBC. Tomorrow, the team will play against Japan at 9:30, if you'd like to set your DVR or hide in your office's bathroom stall to watch it live streamed. I'm quite sure this individual has planned accordingly.

Who says the Olympics workers are dejected and disgruntled? This Stratford, London greeter is clearly having the time of her life.

Here is the best video you will see from an entire weekend of Olympic sports: U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman's parents reacting to her bar routine during today's team qualifiers (Raisman scored a 14.166). Dear NBC: for training your cameras on this, everything is forgiven. This is what I look like when I watch Olympic sports. [Thanks to Deadspin's Timothy Burke for the video.]

NBC has received plenty of criticism for its decision to cut a tribute to victims of terror from the Olympics opening ceremony broadcast in the United States. The half-assed explanation offered, however, is likely to cause even more outrage.

Swimmer Ryan Lochte predicted that 2012 would be his year, and he's off to a great start. Lochte won the 400-meter individual medley, while teammate Michael Phelps didn't even make it onto the podium.

During the Olympic opening ceremonies Friday night, Bob Costas almost expressed his opinion about the refusal to hold a moment of silence for the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches killed at the 1972 Olympic Games.

Before you go around criticizing Ann Romney for her eliteness, remember that you, too, could probably buy a horse, pay for its upkeep, and pursue a career in dressage.

The London Olympics have taken a lot of flack in recent weeks, mostly from Mitt Romney but also from some other people, for making choices that seem, if not altogether bad, certainly weird.

Have you heard about beet juice? The blood-red elixir of the beet is apparently the hottest thing for Olympic athletes looking for a non-illegal performance boost. Soon the world will be caught up in beet juice fever. Too bad it tastes like "sweet dirt."
