olympics

The world has lost an icon, an activist, an entertainer, and one of the best athletes of all time in Louisville native Muhammad Ali. Hundreds if not thousands of stories will be told, but one of them is truly unforgettable, when he made a surprise appearance at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta to light the final torch.

An American skier continued to etch her place in Olympic history on Monday, and the Dutch rose to the top of the medal count. Here's a recap of the day's action in Sochi:

This is one of my favorite photos so far of the Olympic Games!  How awesome is this?  Carmelita Jeter knew Team USA was running fast in the women's 4 x 100m Relay.  And, when she crossed the finish line, she realized they had gunned down the world record...

My friend Traci Davis, and WBKR's sales manager, posted a new Nike commercial on her Facebook page. To put it simply, I was blown away.

We are in the thick of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. And there have been some seriously exciting moments. As Chad said, "We needed that." What we don't need is for world-class athletes to misbehave in competition.

  Wednesday was another HUGE day for Team USA.  Sure we suffered some unexpected upsets in archery and fencing (world #1 Brady Ellison went down in the Round of 16 in men's archery and two-time defending Olympic gold medalist Mariel Zagunis was bounced in the semis of women's fencing), but all in all it was a good day.  U.S. gymnast Danell Leyva made an inspired comeback to take bronze in the men'

The United States needed yesterday.  We have been toe-to-toe with China in the overall medal count, but our biggest stars, like Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, hadn't quite been living up to their billing so far in London, though they rocked it out for gold last night in the mean's 4x200 meter freestyle relay!  It just seemed like Team USA needed a great big jolt.  And they got one last night, as

Move over, Magnificent Seven!  Make way for the Fab Five!!  For the first time since 1996, Team USA has won the team gold in Women's Gymnastics at the Olympics!  And, in London just moments ago, they did by putting an absolute smackdown on the competition!  Four years ago in Beijing, the U.S. Women were outperformed by a controversially young Chinese team.  This Olympics, there was no controversy

In my Olympic preview for Tuesday, I am going to focus on the Team Event in Women's Gymnastics.  Tuesday night, the U.S. women's team will go for their first gold since the Atlanta games in 1996.  And everyone remembers that night, right?  That's the night Kerri Strug caused the lights to go out in Georgia with a clutch vault she nailed on just one foot!  Take a look . . .

Ya'll know I am a huge Olympic fan.  In fact, I seriously have an addiction.  I'm a full-fledged junkie.  So, I have decided to give you guys a sneak peak into each day's Olympic highlights.  And, now that I have recovered from the Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw concert in Indy Saturday night (and, yes, I had to miss Ryan Lochte swimming to gold in the Men's 400-meter IM), I am ready to "let th

Guess who had a front row seat – sort of- at last night’s (July 27) opening ceremonies at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London? Keith Urban, that’s who.

With the conclusion of the women's 100-meter butterfly in the 2012 Olympic swimming trials, Olympic gold medalist Dana Vollmer will be joined by Western Kentucky University's Claire Donahue on the U.S. Olympic Swim Team! (Cue Jaclyn singing the WKU fight song in the background.)
