The 2012 US Olympic Team Media Summit is in full swing, bringing 120 of the top athletes in the US together with over 400 members of the media for a three-day, super concentrated, Olympic mega-interview.
Athletes from over twenty sports have flown to Dallas, TX to be poked, prodded, interviewed and photographed so that their stories can be better told when the world tunes in to the 2012 Olympics in London this July.
In addition to the press conferences, many athletes take part in individual photo sessions as well. We’ve got a few images below that we really like, but since we here at DailyHouse aren’t the jealous type, we also want to point your attention to this AMAZING gallery by the French site l’avenir.net.
Yes, we know. It’s a French site. We promise it won’t happen again. BUT the pictures are fantastic and we know how much you guys and gals like Olympic athletes with their shirts off (don’t worry, still safe for work).
No wonder people are always spreading all those ‘rumors’ about what happens inside the Olympic village…
