One of the reasons why people are watching this year's Olympics is because of the sport babes that compete in various sporting events.

Australia is doing quite well in this year's Olympics in London after garnering 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals in various competitions.

Aside from keeping a tally on the medals that the country won, Olympics is fun to watch due to the beautiful ladies who are in it to win the game.

One of Australia's fastest swimmers Stephanie Rice is on the list. Stephanie rose to fame in the world of sports after winning three gold medals in the previous Olympics in Beijing. Stephanie is determined to start rolling the ball of Australian wins on the first day.

However, to the dismay of her Aussie fans, Stephanie failed to secure a gold medal due to a previous injury on her shoulder that impede her performance.

Stephanie Rice made a lot of buzz after posting an Instagram photo of her in a risqué two-piece bikini wear. It was in line for the swimmer's 24th birthday and the bikini was designed by Ellie Gonsalves. It was the swimwear designer's birthday present for the Olympian.

Other beauties in the list are Olympics veteran Federica Pellegrina, Great Britain's beauties, which includes heptathlete Jessica Ennis, open water swimmer Keri Anne Payne and cyclist Victoria Pendleton.

Greece's triple jumper Voula Papachristou is one of the Olympic beauties. However, the Greek is disqualified even before the games begin due to her racist comments against Africans. U.S.A.'s Alex Morgan and Heather Mitts are also in the list.
