Olympics: London 2012

I definitely enjoyed rooting for the USA and Cal Olympians in London.  In the end, the USA and Cal Olympians did great.  Canada did OK.

FINAL RESULTS:
USA: 46 gold, 29 silver, 29 bronze (104 total)
Most total and gold medals of all nations in 2012

Canada: 1 gold, 5 silver, 12 bronze (18 total)
Tied Canada's Beijing 2008 medal total; however had less gold

Cal: 11 gold, 1 silver, 5 bronze (17 total)
Tied for most medals by Cal athletes with Beijing 2008 Olympics.  More than doubled Beijing 2008 gold medals

The big news was that Dana Vollmer and Nathan Adrian made my Sports List: Cal Olympics section.  They now have 4 Olympic medals each.  Along with Natalie Coughlin, Cal swimming has had a great run since 2004.
