  • Best Photos from the 2012 Olympic Games

    The 25 best photos from 302 events in 26 sports spread over 19 days of competition don’t show all 10,500 (more or less) athletes that played a part in the 2012 Olympic games in London, but the two big winners on the track (Usain Bolt) and in the pool (Michael Phelps) remained the same from four years ago.

  • Best Photos from the 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony

    How good was the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympic games? It’s always exciting to go through the evening and watch all the national teams come out, flags waving, trying to spot out the big stars and get extra emotional when you see your own flag (usually when you come from a less than dominant nation) coming out of the tunnel.

  • 2012 Olympics Day 1 – Best Photos from Women’s Football Matches

    Even before the opening ceremony, the Olympics have already kicked off with the women’s football tournament and six matches, highlighted by Great Britain beating New Zealand 1-0, Brazil destroying Cameroon 5-0 and the USA, favorites for gold, coming back from 0-2 down to beat Japan 4-2. North Korea also made an opening splash by refusing to play before the correct flag was shown.

  • Best Photos of the 2012 Wimbledon Final

    Some finals are just about one player and his story line. Roger Federer may have won his 7th Wimbledon title in the 2012 Final, now even with Pete Sampras, and making it 17 Grand Slam titles in his career, more than anyone else. But this final was just as much about him as it was about Andy Murray, the weight of expectations he carried and his touching, tear-choked speech at the end.

  • Best Photos of the Euro 2012 Final

    Spain walked all over Italy in the Euro 2012 final, like no one has ever before. The first team to win back to back Euros, the first team to win three major titles in a row. Their first ever win over Italy in a competitive match, the first team ever to score 4 goals in a Euro final. A grand performance, shrouded by the marks of history in the making.

  • Best Photos of the Euro 2012 Semifinals

    The Euro 2012 semifinals gave us an opposite scenario to what was predicted – The Spain – Portugal match was the tactical, flair-less affair, with both teams drawing the match out to penalty kicks, with Cristiano Ronaldo literally looking on and doing nothing, while Italy played better than anyone else, upsetting Germany 2-0.

  • Best Photos of the Miami Heat Winning the 2012 NBA Finals

    The Miami Heat have been waiting for this moment for six years; LeBron James has been waiting for it 27 years, including the nine he spent in the league, with these past two, since joining the Miami Heat, being extremely difficult. Making the transformation from the chosen one, to the best player in the NBA, to the most hated player in the NBA, to finally being a champion, cementing the beginning of his legacy as one of the greatest NBA Players in history.

  • Best Photos of the Los Angeles Kings Winning the 2012 Stanley Cup

    After 45 years, a Los Angeles Kings captain, Dustin Brown in this case, got to lift the Stanley Cup after beating the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in Game 6 and 4-2 in the series. The Kings can attribute the win to the Devils’ Steve Bernier penalized for misconduct, which signaled the beginning of the rout and cause for celebration.
