Feck'd It! German Diver Stephan Feck Completes Worst Dive Ever

Expelled Algerian Runner Taoufik Makhloufi Reinstated

Algerian runner Taoufik Makhloufi was expelled on Monday from the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The expulsion didn't last long, as Makhloufi was reinstated and will remain eligible for the men's 1,500m final on Tuesday.

Makhloufi originally drew the suspicion of officials on Monday, when he stopped running during his opening heat in the men's 800m and walked to the infield, where he cheered on the rest of the runners. The I.A.A.F. believed that he purposefully tanked his match and expelled him from the remainder of the Games for "violating the Olympic ideal."

Algerian officials insisted Makhloufi withdrew due to a knee injury, Jere Longman of the New York Times reports. Makhloufi was examined by a doctor and was reinstated.

In addition to the eight suspended badminton players last week, the London Games have seen an unusually large number of athletes accused of purposefully tanking in their events.

2012 Olympic Medal Count: Slovenia Out In Front, In A Way

After Monday's gold medal events have been completed, China still holds a slim lead in the total medal count. But that's old news and that's boring. What's more exciting is taking a look at who has won the most medals per capita at the 2012 Olympic Games in London!

The aptly-titled website Medals Per Capita is a very interesting look at how the Summer Games are shaping up in terms of total population of the participating countries. This link comes to us courtesy of the always-phenomenal Craig Robinson of Flip Flop Fly Balling.

Currently in the lead of medals per capita is Slovenia. Although the country has only won four total medals, that equates to one medal for each 514,385 Slovenian citizens. New Zealand's eight medals account for a medal for each 544,077 people, while Jamaica has four medals, which is a medal per capita of 676,456.

Jamaica, home of Usain Bolt, has two gold medals. That means they lead the gold medal per capita total, as their population per gold medal is 1,352,913.

Here's a more complete look at the medal count:

1. China, 64 (31 gold, 19 silver, 14 bronze)
2. United States, 63 (29, 15, 19)
3. Russia, 42 (7, 17, 18)
4. Great Britain, 40 (18, 11, 11)
5. Japan, 28 (2, 12, 14)

And the medals per capita:

1. Slovenia (4 medals, Pop. per medal 514,385)
2. New Zealand (8 medals, Pop. per medal 554,077)
3. Jamaica (4 medals, Pop. per medal 676,456)
4. Denmark (8 medals, Pop. per medal 697,564)
5. Cyprus (1 medal, Pop. per medal 838,897)

Team USA Vs. Argentina, Olympics 2012: U.S. Dominates 2nd Half, Wins 126-97

Thanks in large part to a dominating third quarter, the United States' men's basketball team pulled away from Argentina, winning 126-97.

Team USA took a slim 60-59 lead into halftime but outscored Argentina 42-17 in the third quarter to blow the game open. The second half surge was led by LeBron James and Kevin Durant. James scored the United States' first seven points in the third quarter. He finished the game with 18 points and five assists.

Durant then caught fire from 3-point range, helping the United States crush Argentina's upset bid. Durant made 5-of-6 3-pointers in the quarter. He finished the game as the United States' leading scorer with 28 points, including 17 in the third quarter.

With the win, the United States finished a perfect 5-0 in the preliminary round, winning Group B. They will face Australia in the quarterfinal round.

2012 Olympic Medal Count: U.S. Cuts Chinese Medal Count Lead To 1

After falling behind by three medals early on Day 10, the United States has pulled within one medal of China, which still holds the overall medal count lead.

The United States made up ground thanks to two track & field medals late on Day 10. Jenn Suhr added a gold to the United States medal count by winning the women's pole vault. In doing so, she improved upon her result in the 2008 Olympics where she won silver.

Michael Tinsley won the silver medal in the men's 400m hurdles, but overall it was a disappointing race for the American team. Two-time gold medalist in the event, Angelo Taylor, failed to repeat as Olympic champion finishing fifth. Kerron Clement, who won the silver medal in 2008, finished last on Monday.

Russia also made a late run Monday, surging past Great Britain for third place.

Here's a more complete look at the medal count:

1. China, 64 (31 gold, 19 silver, 14 bronze)
2. United States, 63 (29, 15, 19)
3. Russia, 42 (7, 17, 18)
4. Great Britain, 40 (18, 11, 11)
5. Japan, 28 (2, 12, 14)

Kirani James Captures Men's 400m Gold, Yuliya Zaripova Wins Women's 3000m Steeplechase

In the first men's 400 meters final without an American in Olympic history, a runner from tiny Grenada touched gold, as Kirani James set a new national record in his victory for the Caribbean island nation.

James ran the 400 meters in 43.94 seconds, more than half a second faster than Luguelin Santos of the Dominican Republic (44.46), who edged Trinidad and Tobago's Lalonde Gordon (44.52) for silver.

Russia added a gold medal on the day from Yuliya Zaripova in the women's steeplechase. Zaripova, who finished in 9:06.72 beat silver medalist Habibi Ghribi of Tunisia (9:08.37) by more than a second and a half. Ethiopia's Sofia Assefa won bronze in 9:09.84.

James' medal is the first for Grenada at the 2012 Olympics — in fact, it's Grenada's first Olympic medal of any kind.

Russia has the second-most track and field medals at the 2012 Olympic Games, with six, following the U.S.'s nine.

Spain Vs. Brazil, Olympics 2012: Brazil Wins 88-82

Brazil wrapped up group play in the men's Olympic basketball tournament with an 88-82 win against Spain.

With the win, Brazil secured the No. 2 seed in Group B. They entered the game tied with Spain for second place in the group. They now move onto the quarterfinal where they will face Argentina, who finished third in Group A.

Leandro Barbosa led the way for Brazil with 23 points. Barboas was one of three Brazilian players in double figures with Marquinhos Vieira Sousa scoring 13 points and Tiago Splitter scoring 11. Brazil played the game without Nene, their starting center, who sat out due to foot soreness.

Pau Gasol led Spain with 25 points while his brother Marc Gasol was second on the team with 20 points. Spain advances to the quarterfinal where they will face either France or the United States in the first round. Their matchup will depend on the result of the United States' game against Argentina Monday.

2012 Summer Olympics: Mijain Nunez Of Cuba Takes Gold In 120kg Men's Greco-Roman

The 2012 Summer Olympics continued on Monday with three medaling events in Men's Greco-Roman Wrestling, as the finals for the 60kg, 84kg, and the 120kg categories took place.

In the Men's 60kg Greco-Roman Wrestling competition, Omid Haji Noroozi of Iran took the gold medal, defeating Revaz Lashkhi of Georgia. Russia and Japan both scored bronze medals as Zaur Kuramagomedov and Ryutaro Matsumoto won their bronze medal matches.

The 84kg event saw Russia's Alan Khugaev defeat Karam Mohamed Gaber Ebrahim of Egypt in the the gold medal round while Danyal Gajiyev of Kazakhstan and Damian Janikowski of Poland each took home a bronze medal.

In the big boy event, the Men's 120kg Greco-Roman, Cuba's Mijain Lopez Nunez won the gold medal defeating Estonia's Heiki Nabi, who took home the silver. Riza Kayaalp of Turkey and Johan Euren of Sweden both took home a bronze medal.

Nadzeya Ostapchuk Wins Women's Shot Put For Belarus

UPDATE: The IOC has stripped Ostapchuk of her gold medal after she tested positive for steroids.

Strong women throwing things dominated the women's shot put at the 2012 Olympics on Monday, which was far more reasonable than weak women not throwing things doing it. Belarus' Nadzeya Ostapchuk won the event easily.

Ostapchuk hit 21.36 meters on her third of six attempts, and scored the only two attempts of more than 21 meters in the final. New Zealand's Valerie Adams took silver with a toss of 20.70 meters, and Russia's Evgeniia Kolodko secured bronze at 20.48 meters.

Adams is the 2008 gold medalist and 2011 world champion in the event, but put just three of her six attempts between the lines, allowing Ostapchuk (who won bronze in Beijing) to claim the top spot on the medal podium.

Both Belarus and New Zealand have eight medals at the 2012 Games.

Jason Gibb And Sean Rosenthal Lose In Men's Beach Volleyball, Team USA Will Not Medal

The United States will not medal in the 2012 Olympics in men's beach volleyball. The American team of Jason Gibb and Sean Rosenthal fell in the quarterfinal round on Monday, ensuring that Team USA will not be on the medal podium.

Gibb and Rosenthal won their first set against Latvia's team of Janis Smedins and Marvins Plavins, but fell in a combined 36 minutes in the other two to lose, 21-19, 18-21, 11-15. Four service faults from the U.S. and three aces from the Latvians helped contribute to the loss.

The Gibb-Rosenthal pairing was the last U.S. team remaining after the departure of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers in the round of 16 over the weekend. Dalhausser and Rogers were the defending gold medal partnership.

Felix Sanchez Wins Men's 400m Hurdles, American Michael Tinsley Gets Silver

Eight years after first winning the event, Felix Sanchez has once again won gold in the men's 400m hurdles at the Summer Olympics.

2012 Summer Olympics Medal Count: China Leads U.S. By 3 Medals

After the early goings on at the 2012 Summer Olympics, China holds on to the total medal count lead in the Olympics, also leading the gold medal count. The United States follows right on China's heels, followed up by Great Britain, Russia, and Japan rounding out the Top 5.

In the Men's Rings competition, Brazil's Arthur Zanetti took home the gold medal while China's Chin Yibing and Italy's Matteo Morandi took home silver and bronze, respectively.

In Women's Gymnastics Individual competition, Russia's Aliya Mustafina won gold in the uneven bars. China's Kexin He took silver and Britain's Beth Tweddle received the bronze. United States gymnast Gabby Douglas missed out on winning her third gold medal.

The United States just missed out on another gymnastics medal as Sam Mikulak came just shy of medaling in the vault competition. Korea's Hak Seon Yang took home the gold while Russia's Denis Ablyazin won silver and Igor Radivilov of Ukraine took home the bronze.

Great Britain continued to dominate cycling in the 2012 Summer Olympics as Jason Kenny won the gold in Men's Individual Sprint while France's Gregory Bauge won the silver. Australian Shane Perkins earned bronze, winning his first-ever Olympic medal.

Great Britain added another gold medal in the ever exciting Equestrian Team Jumping event, needing to beat out the Netherlands in a jump-off, leaving the Netherlands with the silver medal. Saudia Arabia won just their third-ever Olympic medal, taking home the bronze.

In the Men's Trap, Croatia's Giovanni Cernogoraz won the gold medal while Italy's Massimo Fabbrizi brought home silver. Kuwait's Fehaid Aldeehani took bronze in the event.

Here's a more complete look at the medal count:

1. China, 64 (31 gold, 21 silver, 14 bronze)
2. United States, 61 (28, 14, 19)
3. Great Britain, 40 (18, 11, 11)
4. Russia, 38 (5, 17, 16)
5. Japan, 28 (2, 12, 14)

France Vs. Japan, 2012 Olympics: Final Score 2-1; Japan See Off French Storm To Advance To Final

Japan jumped out to a 2-0 lead against France, whose attempt as a comeback and a place in the gold medal game ultimately fell short.

Algerian Runner Thrown Out Of Olympics For Not Trying

Another day and another ‘tanking’ controversy at the Olympics. Algerian runner Taoufik Makhloufi has been thrown out of the Olympics for not trying during his 800m heat. Makhloufi was not a favorite in the 800m, but was thought to have a shot at a medal in the 1,500m in which he had already advanced to the finals with the fastest qualifying time.

After making the finals in the 1,500m Makhloufi decided to focus on that event and not run in the 800m, but Algerian officials did not withdraw him from the race by Sunday’s deadline. As a result Makhloufi was forced to run the 800m. Not wanting to tire himself out Makhloufi jogged for ¾ of a lap before stopping, he then walked to the infield and clapped for the rest of the field as they lapped him.

Despite his good spirit the International Association of Athletics Federation was less than pleased by his effort and threw Makhloufi out of the Olympics entirely. A spokeswoman said he could be reinstated for his 1500m final if he could get a medical certificate from a doctor excusing his poor performance.

Much like the badminton scandal it seems like the ruling body will come under as much or more fire for this decision than the athlete in question. Makhloufi didn’t want to race in the 800m; that much is clear. But how much effort would he have had to give to be allowed to race in the 1,500m? If he walked the two laps would that have been enough? It would seem not advancing in the 800m should be punishment enough.

Track & Field Schedule: How To Watch Men's 400m, Women's Pole Vault Online

Some of the world's finest athletes will take to the track on Monday in London at the 2012 Olympics, and you can see all of their medal events for free online via NBC.

None of the finals will be shown on American TV until NBC's primetime coverage, which begins at 7 p.m. ET. But there's a live Olympics track and field stream available via NBC Live Extra that will show you these five medal finals live:

• 2:00 p.m. - Women's Pole Vault
• 2:15 p.m. - Women's Shot Put
• 3:45 p.m. - Men's 400m Hurdles
• 4:05 p.m. - Women's Steeplechase
• 4:15 p.m. - Men's 400m

All of those times are Eastern.

The best chance Team USA has to win a gold medal in those five events will likely come in the men's 400m hurdles, where Americans Angelo Taylor, Kerron Clement, and Michael Tinsley make up three-eights of the final field.

Jason Kenny Wins Men's Individual Sprint Gold As Great Britain Continues Track Cycling Dominance

Great Britain added to its track cycling dominance with another gold medal on Monday, with Jason Kenny winning men's individual sprint at the Olympic Velodrome. For Kenny, one of the world's finest cyclists, it's his second Olympic medal in the event after winning silver in Beijing.

Kenny's win was the host country's fifth gold medal in the track cycling competition (the sixth medal overall in the velodrome). France's Gregory Bauge settled for silver after losing to Kenny, 2-0 (in the knockout stages of sprint track cycling, the competition format is a best-of-three heats). Earlier in the event, Australian Shane Perkins won bronze, his first Olympic medal, by defeating Trinidad and Tobago's Njisane Nicholas Phillip in the first two runs.

The silver and bronze, respectively, give France and Australia three total medal at the track, tied for second-best behind Great Britain's half dozen.

In the first race of the gold medal final, Kenny waited patiently, lurking behind Bauge. On the third and final lap he attacked, going outside to grab the win by half a bike length.

In their second heat, Bauge lingered behind Kenny -- there is nearly as much strategy in track cycling as there is ridiculous speed -- until just before the final lap. Bauge dove inside to try to pass, but Kenny saw the tactic coming and blocked him. Bauge then tried to go outside but Kenny was simply too fast and managed to hold off the attacking Frenchman to win Great Britain's second consecutive gold in men's individual sprint (Chris Hoy took gold in Beijing, defeating Kenny in the process).

It's Kenny's second gold in London -- he also won in the team sprint with Hoy and Philip Hindes, setting a new world record in the process.

Lolo Jones Leads American Qualifiers For Women's 100m Hurdles Semifinals

Lolo Jones has been one of the 2012 Olympics' most talked-about stories. But she's also a competitor, and kicked off her quest for Olympic redemption on Monday by running the fastest time by an American in qualifying for the women's 100 meters semifinals.

Jones won her first round heat in 12.68 seconds, outpacing Canada's Phylicia George by .15 seconds and easily moving on to Tuesday's semifinal. Americans Kellie Wells (12.68 seconds) and Dawn Harper (12.75) were also among the semifinal qualifiers, but Jones' time was her best in 2012 and second-best among all qualifiers, a good sign for her chances of medaling in an event she led until the last hurdle in Beijing in 2008.

Jones' time was easily bested by Australia's Sally Pearson, however. Pearson blazed a 12.57 in her heat, winning it by almost half a second, and that's not even her finest time of 2012.

She and Jones will meet in the second of three semifinal heats on Tuesday beginning at 2:15 Eastern. The two top finishers in each heat will advance to the 100m hurdles final later on Tuesday automatically, and the two fastest non-automatic qualifiers will join them.

Great Britain Wins Gold In Equestrian Team Jumping After Jump-Off With The Netherlands

Great Britain won its first equestrian team jumping gold medal in 60 years on Monday after winning a jump-off against the Netherlands.

Unfortunately a jump-off share no similarities with a jump ball in basketball, nor do the horses try to see who can jump the highest and grab an apple. After two rounds the Brits and Dutch were tied, and all four members of each team had to ride once more to determine a champion. The Netherlands fell apart in the jump-off with two horses knocking fences down and collecting penalties; their final rider did not even ride in the jump-off as Britain had already clinched gold. It was the first medal for Great Britain in team jumping since they took silver in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Saudi Arabia, who lead after the first round of jumping, claimed just its third medal in Olympic history, taking home the bronze.

What To Watch, Day 10: Men's 400m Hurdles And Track Cycling

What To Watch on Day 10 at the Summer Olympics, including Team USA looking to sweep the men's 400m hurdles (again), men's vault in gymnastics and more cycling insanity on the track.

Team USA Falls To Hungary In Water Polo, Will Play Croatia In Quarterfinals

The US men’s water polo team suffered a disappointing loss to Hungary in the final game of group play, but will still advance to the quarterfinals despite dropping its last two matches. Hungary played its best match of the Olympics thus far, beating the USA, 11-6.

With a win, the American team would have secured second place in Group B, but now it will almost assuredly finish fourth – assuming Montenegro beats Great Britain on Monday. Seeing as the closest game the British have played was a 13-7 loss to USA, it’s fair to speculate that Montenegro will take care of business.

Now Team USA will play gold-medal favorite and world No. 1 Croatia in the quarterfinal. Croatia plays incredibly strong defense, having allowed an Olympics-low 29 goals during the group stage. Hungary finished third in the pool and will play the winner of the Spain and Italy match.

Korea's Hak Seon Yang Wins Gold In Men's Vault

American Sam Mikulak fell short of medaling in the men’s vault on Monday, finishing in fifth place. South Korea’s Hak Seon Yang won the gold as expected and was very impressive in doing so. His first vault had a difficulty rating of 7.4, two tenths of a point higher than any other competitor and considered the most difficult vault ever attempted. His second vault was a bit easier (7.0 difficulty -- still quite hard), but he scored even higher as he absolutely drilled it, scoring a 9.6 on his execution (for a 16.6 overall).

Mikulak, who broke both his legs during a meet last year, recovered in time to be able to do this at the Olympics this year, which is impressive in its own right.

Russia’s Denis Ablyazin took home the silver and Igor Radivilov of Ukraine claimed the bronze.

Aliya Mustafina Wins Uneven Bars, Great Britain's Tweddle Grabs Bronze

All-around individual gold medalist and American darling Gabby Douglas was not able to win her third gold medal on Monday in the women’s uneven bar. Instead, Russian Aliya Mustafina won gold, with China’s Kexin He taking silver and hometown favorite, Britain’s Beth Tweddle, getting the bronze.

Douglas was considered a possibility for a medal, but in no way was the favorite, as both the Russian and Chinese gymnasts, as well as Tweddle, are particularly strong on bars. All five of those competitors put up strong routines, but Mustafina won with a score of 16.133, with a 9.133 on execution of a routine with a 7.0 difficulty and absolutely killed it on her landing.

Douglas, who had a routine with only a 6.3 difficulty, finished in last place of the eight finalists with a score of 14.900 despite a strong dismount of her own.

Mustafina is a bit of a surprise winner, coming off a torn ACL she suffered in 2011, but she appears to have recovered to her 2010 form, when she took gold in the individual all-around at the world championships. Tweddle’s bronze medal, meanwhile, is the first medal for Great Britain in women’s gymnastics since a bronze in the 1928 team all-around event.

Douglas will have one more chance to medal when she competes in the balance beam final on Tuesday.

Cyprus Earns First Ever Olympic Medal, China Adds To Gold Tally In Sailing

A pair of sailing medals and one in shooting have been given out in early competition Monday, resulting in a bronze for the United States and the first medal not just in London, but in Olympic history for the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus.

The sailing events took place in the Laser competition, named after the style of one-person dinghy, and unfortunately not the ability of the boats to shoot beams of light at other boats. On the men's side, gold and silver were pretty much already locked up, as Australia's Tom Slingsby had a commanding lead on points through the first 10 races and was able to place ninth in the medal race and still win gold, while Cyprus' Pavlos Kontides couldn't catch up to Slingsby but was in no danger of finishing lower than second. He earned silver, making him the first Cypriot to earn a medal at the Olympics.

In the women's competition, the events of the final race very much had a stake in determining the medal results: China's Xu Lijia, Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands, and Belgium's Evi van Acker placed first, second and third and also placed in that order on the medal podium. China's gold puts them three ahead of the United States in the medal count.

Segueing from the water to the gun range, America's Matthew Emmons had a shot at silver in the men's 50m rifle 3 position final, but his final shot of the competition was a brutally low 7.6. (His previous lowest shot had been a 9.2). He ended up 1.3 points away from silver, where even a mediocre shot could have earned him a step up on the podium. His poor final shot didn't cost him a chance at a gold though -- Italy's Niccolo Campriani set an Olympic record by scoring an 1180 in qualifying and blew away the competition, winning by six points.

Here's the medals in those three events:

Sailing - Men's laser

Gold:Tom Slingsby, Australia

Silver: Pavlos Kontides, Cyprus

Bronze: Rasmus Myrgren, Sweden

Sailing - Women's laser radial

Gold: Xu Lijia, China

Silver: Marit Bouwmeester, Netherlands

Bronze: Evi van Acker, Belgium

Shooting - Men's 50m rifle, three positions

Gold: Niccolo Campriani, Italy

Silver: Kim Jonghyun, South Korea

Bronze: Matthew Emmons, United States

Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt And The Greatest Olympian Ever

Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt are two of the most dominant Olympians ever. Is either the greatest Olympian of all-time? Time to answer everything from the weekend, except that, in the Monday Morning Jones.

Brazil's Arthur Zanetti Wins Men's Rings In Massive Upset

China's Chen Yibing was the overwhelming favorite to take gold in the men's rings, but instead, Arthur Zanetti earned the first gymnastics medal in Brazil's history by besting Chen by just a tenth of a point.

Zanetti wasn't the last person in the world one would expect to medal: although he didn't compete in the all-around portion of the gymnastics competition, his routine on rings in qualifications was fourth of any competitor. He'd also won silver at the 2011 World Championships and 2011 Pan-American games. But Chen was a four-time defending world champion and had won the gold on the rings in 2008. You can't get a much bigger favorite to win an event in anything.

But with their routines in the books, Zanetti had performed the better routine. Each gymnast attempted sets with the same difficulty level and therefore maximum score, but Zanetti's 15.9 edged Chen's 15.8, giving his nation its first gymnastics medal of any type -- let alone gold.

Here's the medal podium in the event:

Gold: Arthur Zanetti, Brazil

Silver: Chen Yibing, China

Bronze: Matteo Morandi, Italy
