I realize that you are not in the U.S.A. and thus have had a very different exposure to news coverage of the 2012 Olympics than we have had here. That said, I am not aware of any of the stories you cited. I did not spend a lot of time watching the Olympics however and could have easily missed them

I do remember several of the track and field winners from the U.S.A. crediting God for their success and one lady in particular who specifically gave praise to the Lord Jesus Christ.

I also missed most of these stories, but I didn't watch the Olympics at all. That and my town's local paper didn't cover much of it. Even the Midland Reporter-Telegram didn't cover much of the Olympics. Interesting stories though.

yes, I saw the Ethiopian Orthodox Gold Medalist's holding up the picture of the Theotokos many times on FB.

I saw the other one that you mentioned about the one gal holding the little icon of a Saint in her hand. Can't remember if she was a gymnast or what.
