It was 2013 when Katy Perry released "Prism" with 'Roar' and 'The One That Got Away', well now she's back with a very timely and uplifting anthem for the Olympic called 'Rise' She debuted the song/video this morning on 'The Today Show'!  Check it out and tell us what you think...

Evgeni Plushenko, is a well-known Russian who figure skating experts would agree is currently the best male figure skater in the world. He has a history of performing athletic, and quite colorful routines, and it turns out that his most notoriously ridiculous routine is even better when remixed with Ginuwine's song "Pony."

An American skier continued to etch her place in Winter Olympics history on Monday, and the Dutch rose to the top of the medal count. Here's a recap of the day's action in Sochi, Russia:

The world will be watching as hundreds of athletes compete at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Team USA is sending 230 athletes, including 18 with Michigan ties. Follow our Michigan Olympians through all of their triumphs and heartbreak in Sochi.

Well, it only took about 10 minutes from the beginning of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies for us to witness the latest in a long list of fails that have happened in Sochi over the last few days. Actually, I can't say that we here in the US have actually witnessed it, but everyone else around the world has (the Olympic broadcasts are on a time delay here in the US).

The XXII Winter Olympic Games are Feb. 7 to 23 in Sochi, Russia. Among the 230 athletes representing Team USA at the Sochi Winter Olympics are 19 Olympians with Michigan ties. Here is who to watch in Sochi.

The London Olympics wrapped up Sunday night with a closing ceremony that paid tribute to the best of British music over the years, featuring performances by iconic classic rockers, the reunited Spice Girls, and current superstars like One Direction and Jessie J.

A Late Night Sports reporter from Jacksonville, named Dan Hicken, did not like waiting for Bob Costas to get done with his Olympic broadcast on NBC. So much so, that he decided to vent about it on his own late night broadcast, himself. I do have to say, most of us have felt like this at one time or another, we just have not shared it live on air for every one's viewing pleasure.

Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte is one of the more attractive members of the Men's US Olympic Swimming Team, but it turns out, that his looks may be the only thing he has going for him. The fine minds over at BuzzFeed took the time to put together a video of some of Ryan's most shining interview moments. And by shining, I mean horribly painful to listen to. You'll see what I mean after the jump.

We have all seen the parents at the games of student athletes get a little excited when their child does well or is involved in a play. Olympic gymnast parents are no different. Aly Raisman is the girl who had to suffer through the embarrassment of her parents reacting during her routine.
