  • OK, so maybe we don't have a gold medal grill like US Olympic swimming champ Ryan Lochte but we'll put our sense of what's fashionable at the 2012 Games up against anyone's -- any day, any time. That said, we're taking another look at what's hip among athletes and fans in London. AP
  • Again, we stress that we'll take on all comers. Ahem.
  • Men's high jump silver medalist Erik Kynard of the US may not be as flashy as Lochte when it comes to footwear, but we'd move him to the top of the medal stand based on these all-American stockings.
  • Hungary handball player Gergo Ivancsik's shoes and socks aren't really the point here, are they? AP

  • We like this. We really like this. There's a lot of wacky headgear happening in these Games -- some of it required in certain events -- but here's proof that less is more. US runner Alysia Johnson Montano's floral accessory is the perfect complement to an already stylish form. AP
  • Meanwhile, back at the Double-Dork Barbell Ranch in the Olympic weightlifting venue... AP
  • Yeah, we're not sure what's up with those guys in Photo #5 either, kid. YOUR earmuffs strike us as kind of nouveau-retro, though, and we give them props. AP
  • Morocco's Sanaa Atabrour, a women's taekwondo competitor, strikes an impressive balance between progress in sport and religious tradition in her animal-print head covering. AP
  • Of course, you can never really top the classics now, can you? AP
  • From the

  • If the eyes are indeed the window to the soul, this guy's asking folks to peer deep into his psyche through a Viewmaster. AP
  • One window to the soul of South Korean Greco-Roman wrestling gold medalist Kim Hyeon-woo is temporarily shuttered. The medal is a nice fashion accessory. The shiner, not so much. AP
  • But when it's all said and done, it's hard to beat a big smile -- and layers of patriotic facepaint -- for that winning Olympic look. Of course, a few medals never hurt, either. Just saying. AP
  • Not sure if fencing headgear will take off here at home but we applaud the sentiment. Definitely an eye-catcher. AP
  • The South Korean women's archery team brings a sort of
  • Red is a winning color for the US women's gymnastics team. They rather stylishly accented their garb with gold medals in the Artistic team final. AP
  • Here's our bud Ryan Lochte again, showing off the gold AND the grill. JEAH! We'll stop with that now, even if he won't. AP
  • One of these things is not like the others and we're pretty sure it's that Ishihara Test for Color Blindness that Russian fencing bronze medalist Nikolay Kovalev is wearing. AP
  • Now this little British fan may not match perfectly but sometimes the fact is, Cute Trumps All. AP
  • Don't you wish your shoes fit this well? These may not be Choos or Manolos but they're custom-tailored and you can bet they aren't just off the rack. AP
  • For Queen and country, this swimming fan is going the distance in her own not-too-subtle way. AP
  • Well, the Ukrainian women's rowing squad apparently reworked that pattern template from Team Russia for its own jackets. (And maybe we should get our eyes checked. Hmmm...) AP
  • With her hair adorned with blue, white and red falls, French women's basketballer Isabelle Yacoubou bids us adieu as the Games continue in their ever-unique style. AP
