summer olympics

US Olympian Matt Grevers, 27, will compete at the Summer Olympics in London at the end of this month. After hauling in three medals in Beijing in 2008, Grevers has trained diligently and seems destined to add to his personal medal count in 2012.

Forget about the goodwill of the Olympics that's supposed to transcend politics and celebrate athletics. Iran has. The country's Olympic committee yesterday criticized the logo for next year's summer games in London, calling it "racist" and encouraging other Muslim countries to oppose it.
