What do the secret signals the beach volleyball players flash behind their backs mean?

French gymnast Samir Ait Said shattered his leg during preliminary competition at the Rio Olympics Saturday. To add insult to literal injury, EMTs dropped his stretcher as they loaded him into the ambulance! All of it was caught on video.

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are currently underway and I'll be honest with you, I watch most of the competitions waiting to see disaster. Here is a compilation of crashes, falls, and fails from the years past at various Winter Olympic competitions.

This morning, Tuesday morning, U.S. Olympic Gymnast John Orozco was in the Hot 107-9 studio to discuss his Olympic experience and talk about the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions coming to the Cajundome this Sunday, October 21st.

The 2012 Kellogg’s® Tour of Gymnastics Champions, a national tour featuring Team USA’s Gold Medal winning gymnasts following the 2012 Olympic Games in London, is coming to Lafayette, Louisiana’s CAJUNDOME on October 21, 2012. While she isn't impressed by much, 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist McKayla Maroney has a message for Lafayette!

Now, there isn’t necessarily a correlation between those tuning into the 2012 Olympics, and those who watch reality TV, but it’s no secret that the more public attention one attracts the more likely people are going to try every means of capitalizing on their fame. Gold Medal-winning swimmer (and admitted pool-peer) Ryan Lochte has certainly attracted his fair share of attention outside of his ath

Lolo Jones is athletic. Lolo Jones is popular. Lolo Jones is hot. Lolo Jones is on just about every "sexiest olympians" list that exists on the internet - and trust me, there are plenty.

US Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas won perhaps the most coveted title in her sport when she took the gold medal in the women’s all-around competition on Thursday in London, becoming the first African-American female gymnast to ever win individual Olympic gold.

Ryan Lochte is arguably one of the most desirable male Olympians when it comes to the ladies, and if you are indeed a female, the news I'm about to tell you may disappoint you - or make you very happy. In an interview with TODAY in London, Ryan's mother, Ike Lochte, revealed something about her son that should have probably remained private.

The US women’s 4×200-meter freestyle relay team won gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Wednesday, but China claimed the lead in the overall medal count. Here’s Wednesday’s Olympic Games’ recap:

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:

Upsets and world records ruled the day on Day 2 of competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Here’s a brief recap of Sunday’s action:
