Terra Evans, a former Texas Tech track and field standout, was named to the 2015-2016 USA Bobsled National Team roster.

US slope style skier Gus Kenworthy posted photos of himself with some ADORABLE stray puppies he found in Sochi.

I love the Olympics!! I look forward to it every 2 years and the winter games are in full effect. The only thing I hate about the coverage is that since it’s in Sochi and we all work we can’t watch it live. Then there are the news outlets that report the winners before we even have the chance to see the replay’s on prime time TV. I have started DVRing the coverage so I can watch it when I get home

There was almost a wardrobe malfunction at the 2014 Winter Olympics this year. Russian speed skater Olga Graf got so excited after her win that she almost flashed the world! If you’ve been watching the races in Sochi you see a lot of speed skaters unzip their uniforms right after they cross the finish line.

The US Artistic Gymnastics Women's Team team just won gold at the 2012 London Olympics and they're coming to Lubbock to show off their skills and celebrate. You can be a part of the action to as they invade the Hub City on Sunday, October 7th, at the United Spirit Arena.

I stumbled across a website that had a list of most of the Olympic mascots for the last 3-4 decades. ALL of them are freakin' weird! Why? Is it an IOC mandate that the mascots be some form of hallucinogenic drug inspired randomness?

The London Olympics wrapped up Sunday night with a closing ceremony that paid tribute to the best of British music over the years, featuring performances by iconic classic rockers, the reunited Spice Girls, and current superstars like One Direction and Jessie J.

Google Doodles are awesome because unlike school, they make learning random facts cool. More importantly, they allow you to waste endless amounts of time.

The 2012 Summer Olympics came to a close in London on Sunday with the United States adding two more gold medals to bring its Olympic-high total to 46. Here’s a recap of the day’s highlights:

The BBC, or British Broadcasting Corporation (or is it channel, I forget), has put a calculator on its website. Now you can put in how tall and heavy you are and it will show you which Olympic athlete you resemble the most.
