Like the rest of America — okay, the world — country’s own Scotty McCreery is currently entranced by the 2012 Olympic Games. And it seems he’s got his eye on one gold medalist swimmer in particular. Using his Twitter account as a platform, McCreery has come out in full support of Olympian Missy Franklin.

With the summer Olympics fast approaching, many of the athletes are in the spotlight. Every little thing they do is being watched, even their tweets. Stephanie Rice learned that after tweeting a picture of her new bikini.

A New York man was rescued this weekend after he tried to swim from New York harbor to Liberty Island, all because God told him to do it. Witnesses say he stripped down to his swim trunks, dove into the cold water and began his 3/4-mile journey.
