The Olympics started, well, earlier this week with some soccer games. But let’s not count that. So, officially, the Opening Ceremonies are today, and the events get going full steam tomorrow. Here’s an A to Z look at some of the athletes and stories you will see over the next few weeks.

A- Air Conditioning. It’s hot in London. Apparently, not everyone is getting A/C. Oh, and there is Alex Morgan, as the U.S. Team looks for Gold.

B- Dotsie Bausch. From drug problems and eating disorders to U.S. Olympian in cycling.

C- Veronica Campbell-Brown. The Jamaican star is looking to win gold in the 200 meter for the third straight Olympics.

D – Dong Dong. If he is in contention for gold, you will get plenty of pics on this site.

E- Ashton Eaton. The U.S. Decathlete hopes to bring home gold, so in 30 years he can star in a reality series involving a bunch of attention-seeking women.

F- Allyson Felix. She was involved in the Jeneba Tarboh controversy with the women’s 100 meters photo finish, and now will look to medal in that event as well as the 200 meters.

G- Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay. The U.S. hopes in the 100 meters rest on Gatlin and Gay. Gatlin is competing in these Olympics after being suspended in 2008.

H- Hiroshi Hoketsu. The 71-year old Hoketsu of Japan is the oldest Olympian, again. He also competed in the 1964 (!) and 2008 Olympics in equestrian dressage. Of course, it’s probably more accurate to say that one of the youngest Olympic athletes will be carrying a really old dude on his back.

I- Indoor Volleyball. The U.S. Men’s team comes in as the defending Gold Medalists, led by 25 year old outside hitter Matt Anderson.

J- Lolo Jones. I was going to put her under the V’s, because the 30-year old hurdler is vivacious and full of vitality. Probably something else I’m missing.

K- Kippy Strug.

Just kidding. Let’s go with Kobe Bryant as the U.S. Men should move for Gold and Kobe gets credit for being a winner when paired with the best teammates.

L- Ryan Lochte. Get ready for Lochte vs. Phelps.

M- Missy Franklin. The star of the U.S. women’s swim team is expected to compete for gold in seven different events.

N- NBC. The Network will provide over 5,000 hours of programming on its various channels, including NBC, NBC Sports, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo and Telemundo. That’s about 32 times the amount of on air coverage for the 1996 Atlanta Games.

O- Oscar Pistorius. The blade runner who is now dating a Russian super model will get plenty of attention at the London Games.

P- Michael Phelps. You may have heard of him. His entourage and gold medals will be back in the Olympic Games.

Q- Caroline Queen. She is a 20 year old Kayaker on the U.S. Team. Let’s face it, if her last name was Smith, she wouldn’t be here, but we need a Q. If she wins a medal in London, though, expect lots of bad monarchy puns.

Katherine Reinprecht and Julia Reinprecht - XVI Pan American Games - Day 5R- Julia and Katie Reinprecht. These two don’t have to eat with a cork on their fork. The sisters from Pennsylvania, 21 and 23 years old, will be teamed up on the U.S. women’s field hockey team.

S- Stephanie Rice. She’s an Australian swimmer, which means she wears swimsuits.

T- Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi. The Malaysian shooter will be 8 months pregnant when she competes.

U- Usain Bolt. The reigning gold medalist in the 100 meters, Usain is still the favorite to retain “fastest man” honors.

V- Voula Papachristou. The Greek triple jumper was notably expelled from the Olympics this week.

W- Jordyn Wieber. Wieber is one of the stars of the US Women’s Gymnastic team, along with Gabrielle Douglas, and you can be sure that the teenagers will be all over the primetime programming.

X- Alexandre DeSpatie. The Canadian diver has been to three previous Olympics, and twice won Silver at 3M springboard. He’ll be looking for Gold this time, battling a head injury where he hit the board in training, and tendinitis in his left knee.

Y- Yohan Blake. Yohan could be the one to challenge fellow countryman Usain Bolt. He won the 100 m World Championships last year when Bolt false started, and has the second fastest time ever in the 200 meters, behind Usain Bolt.

Z- Zoe Smith. A British teenage female weightlifting Olympian, Zoe Smith has been trolled recently by Twitter bullies, but she could become a star for her home country. Also, Zuckerberg’s old roommate Samyr Laine. The former Harvard track man is competing for his parent’s native Haiti.
