One Direction & Spice Girls Perform at Olympics Closing Ceremony

For any of you out there that missed this year's closing ceremony, a number of stand-out performers of all ages helped close out the 2012 Olympic Games in London last night. With the night packed full of amazing performances that included the boys of One Direction, reunions by the Spice Girls and the Who, it is clear that the show pulled out all the stops. One Direction kicked off their performance in style, riding in on a flatbed truck as they drove along the Union-Jack shaped roadway. The five guys took on What Makes You Beautiful for the show. Meanwhile, the much older Spice Girls followed suit and also entertained the crowd with their motorized entrance --- with each of the girls atop their very own personalized light-up cars that represented their respective personalities. Fans of the group were probably pretty stoked to see them take on Spice Up Your Life and Wannabe. So out of all of the performances for the closing ceremony -- keep in mind there were also songs by Oasis, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Pet Shop Boys and more - which song is your guy's favorite? Let us know in the comments below

Spice Girls y One Direction Olimpiadas 2012 El Gran Final!
Direction and Spice Girls Olympics 2012 The Grand Final! Fireworks and many stars filled the stadium on day 16 of the Olympics in London 2012. Exciting moments were experienced at the close of the Olympics with presentations for people of all ages, some old and some new what was best to give closure to the great event in London. Hello that such friends with the theme of the celebration of British culture, when I say a little of the old and new I mean the Spice Girls meeting and presentation of One Direction. The quintet of girls had not met for a presentation since 2008 but thanks to the Olympics made it once again. They arrived by taxi to the stage and sang his biggest hits "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life". Scary, Sporty, Baby, Ginger, and Posh looked better than ever and it seems that the years have passed. With an audience of 80 thousand people live and more than hundreds of millions on their TVs at home, all went crazy with the specific presentations and the presentation of "What Makes You Beautiful", the quintet of the most coveted children, Harry, Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Niall who saw their dreams come true. 2 years ago no one knew, and now themselves expressed how excited they were to appear before so many people. Harry Styles publish a tweet saying, "Last night was the largest presentation of our careers, thanks for making this possible." The presentation of these was on top of a huge trailer walking along the track that was the British flag. The good thing is that neither despeinaron but we know that many of the Directioners present if they were disheveled with excitement to see them. Although the Olympics will miss seeing on our televisions, hopefully now look forward to the summer Olympics 2016. In preparation for this the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes received from his London counterpart Boris Johnson the Olympic flag as a symbolic gesture of the countdown to the 2016 Games. Although Boris expressed his sadness that culminated games and know that they were the best Olympics ever. You saw the presentation of the Spice Girls, One Direction or other artists?

Spice Girls y One Direction Olimpiadas 2012 El Gran Final!

[postlink]https://plythroug.blogspot.com/2012/08/mexico-gana-oro-en-las-olimpiadas.html[/postlink]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nmuDo9ZzEIendofvid [starttext]
¡México Gana Oro en Las Olimpiadas!
Aun celebrando la victoria se encuentran millones de Mexicanos tras el gran triunfo de la selección Mexicana. Hola que tal amigos, México se quedo con la medalla de oro que tanto ansiaba Brasil al ganarle con un marcador del 2 a 1 con dos goles del delantero Oribe Peralta.

El primer gol que marco fue a los 28 segundos del partido en el mítico estadio de Wembley. Brasil, cinco veces ganador de la Copa del Mundo y que ostenta dos medallas de plata y dos de bronce olímpicas, se quedó así nuevamente sin el único título que le falta. Oribe dijo a los periodistas que no fue el solo quien metió esos goles anotando,
"(Ser el goleador) fue gracias a mis compañeros, no lo hice yo solo. Si jugara un deporte individual como el tenis, entonces sí sería mérito mío".

Algo que habíamos comentado antes del histórico juego era que una de las cualidades de México es un equipo de futbol ordenado, sin desesperación en el momento adverso y obviamente esto si hizo ver en el partido del sábado.

Pero el país futbolero por naturaleza también se hizo notar en 3 otros deportes diferentes ganándose así siete medallas en Londres, mientras que en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1968, como anfitrión, obtuvo nueve.

En tiro con arco México aportó dos (una plata y un bronce), en clavados logró dos platas y un bronce, en el futbol con la histórica medalla de oro y en taekwondo consiguió bronce.
De los medallistas que subieron al podio en Londres, Paola Espinosa en clavados y María del Rosario Espinoza en taekwondo, consiguieron presea olímpica por segunda ocasión consecutiva.

Bueno felicitamos a México y a todos los deportistas Mexicanos quienes marcaron la historia y nos representaron apropiadamente en las olimpiadas de Londres 2012.

Serena Williams beats Maria Sharapova to win gold medal
Serena Williams says she finds the Olympics at Wimbledon relaxing because of the festive atmosphere, and her matches have certainly been nothing to tense up about.
Williams won another blowout Friday, this time against the world's No. 1-ranked player, beating Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 6-2. Williams clinched the first singles medal of her career, and she'll play first-time Olympian Maria Sharapova in the final Saturday.
"I'm just enjoying myself," Williams said. "It's just a great vibe to have the USA fans and all the other countries' fans that come out and root really, really hard. It's an unbelievable experience."
Through five rounds, the No. 4-seeded Williams has lost only 16 games. She had 16 aces against Azarenka and just five unforced errors to beat a player ranked No. 1 for the 14th time.
"When you're playing the best player in the world, you've got to play well," Williams said. "I felt like I had nothing to lose — just going for it."
Sharapova, seeded No. 3, won an all-Russian semifinal against No. 14 Maria Kirilenko, 6-2, 6-3. Sharapova had a 35-7 advantage in winners but still had to rally in the second set, sweeping the final four games.
"Obviously it's tough to play a Russian on the other side of the net, but I'm happy that one of us can go for gold," Sharapova said. "It's incredible, not only to be a part of this event and be an Olympian, but to put yourself in with an opportunity to go for gold. It's a really nice feeling."
Williams or Sharapova will become just the second woman to complete a career golden Grand Slam, something achieved only by Steffi Graf, who did it by winning the Olympics in 1988.
Sharapova has won each major title once and completed a career Grand Slam by winning the French Open in June.
"Baby steps, I guess," Sharapova said. "It's been amazing to achieve what I have achieved. Obviously growing up you have big dreams and hopes of winning your certain favorite tournaments. I've been fortunate to win all the Grand Slams, and obviously this is my first Olympics, so I'm just thrilled to be in the final."
If Sharapova wins, she'll regain the No. 1 ranking from Azarenka.
Williams has won 14 Grand Slam singles championships, the most of any active woman, including her fifth Wimbledon title a month ago. But this week has been different from Wimbledon, she said.
"I'm way more relaxed this time around," she said. "Something about this tournament is just making me play well, maybe because it's not what I worked for my whole life, like to get a Grand Slam. I'm not, like, stressed out — 'This could be it, No. 14 or No. 15.' I feel like whether I get a medal or not, I'm happy."
Williams seeks her third gold medal. She teamed with her sister Venus to win the gold in doubles in 2000 and 2008. They play in the semifinals Saturday.
In singles, Serena has won 33 of her past 34 matches, and she has won 12 in a row against top-five players. She's 8-2 against Sharapova, including wins in their past seven meetings.
Azarenka will play Kirilenko for the bronze Saturday. [endtext]

Gabby Douglas Wins Gold & Lands Role on "The Vampire Diaries?
Gabby Douglas had the entire world watching as she became the third American woman in a row to win the individual all-around gold medal in gymnastics. And when I say the whole world, I'm definitely including the entire cast and crew of the CW's hit show 'The Vampire Diaires.' Ian Somerhalder, Michael Trevino, Candice Accola and even the show's executive producer Julie Plec, tweeted out in support of Gabby. Following her HUGE gold-medal win, Gabby hit twitter to thank all of her fans, including her TVD-supporters, hinting at the face that she'd love to do guest appearance. Julie Plec quickly responded saying QUOTE: "You let us know when you're free and we'll see what we can do!" So it sounds like an acting career or at the very least a cameo could be in Gabby's future. The 16 year old, who has the nickname "the flying squirrel," extraordinary Olympic performance puts in her in same club as gymnastic icons Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin, and in addition, Gabby made history becoming the first 1st African American to ever win the all-around Olympic title. Share your congratulations with the gold medalist in the comments section and while you're there also let us know what role you'd like to see her play on "The Vampire Diaries."

McKayla Maroney Vault Leads U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team to Gold

A near-perfect vault by McKayla Maroney was probably the biggest highlight of the U.S. women's gymnastics team's Olympic gold medal win last night - even if the judges inexplicably docked her a quarter of a point.

McKayla, 16, nailed the vault, showcasing the Amanar - a tricky, near-impossible skill that just a handful of gymnasts in the world can do - with such precision, her coach couldn't believe her score wasn't the maximum.

"It. Was. The. Best. Vault. Ever," Marta Karolyi said.

Watch below and you'll see, it's hard to argue that:

You'll have another chance to watch McKayla Maroney go for gold this week in the individual vault event. Don't be surprised to see her post a 16.5 then.

Paul McCartney Paid $1 for Olympics Opening Ceremony Performance

Paul McCartney paid an insane amount for his London Olympics Opening Ceremony performance! Hey music fans, welcome back to ClevverMusic. Being one of the most famous musicians in the world, you would expect Sir Paul McCartney to earn the big bucks for his 2012 Olympic Performance. Hence, we stand corrected.

The former Beatles's paycheck rolled in at a staggering $1.57 cents according to a spokesman for the Summer Games. The rep said, "All of our top talent played for free. In order to have a contract you commit to a payment of a pound." A pound = 1.57 in US dollars. We wonder what he'll buy with that lump sum!

The nominal fee was offered to make the Olympics contracts binding, and the musician actually volunteered his time to Danny Boyle's Opening Ceremony show. We admire Paul for donating his time and energy to the games, along with the other performers at the ceremony.
