The Russian government has told the IOC it will not discriminate against homosexuals during the Sochi Olympics, while defending its law against gay "propaganda."

For all the strides gay athletes have made – see Jason Collins – not everyone is ready to embrace them.

The International Olympic Committee voted to drop wrestling from its schedule for the 2020 Games via a secret ballot during a meeting in Switzerland. Instead of eliminating the pentathlon, like many expected, the IOC decided to scrap wrestling.

Thousands of fans turned out to honor gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman at a parade in her hometown of Needham. She rode atop a Lamborghini convertible and told her fans, "I hope I made you all proud.''

The 2012 London Olympics are over, and the athletes are heading home. The New England Patriots will honor New England area Olympians during their preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Olympic Gymnastics Champion Aly Raisman is happy to be back home in Boston.

Did you notice that women love the Olympics but they'll never sit down and watch a game with you? Now I know there are exceptions, but looking at the ratings for the Olympics on NBC, they were HUGE with the ladies. One of the reasons is probably the women think those guys look pretty good in their Speedos, but there are other reasons.

By now you have probably seen the picture of U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney pouting. She was expected to win the gold at the London Olympics, but after a fall in her vault competition, she ended up with the silver medal.

I have been watching the Olympics for almost a week now!  I love the games! However, I question some of the sports.
