With nearly 40 Stanford-affiliated athletes participating in the summer games in London, it may be hard to keep track of who has won the gold and who is still in contention. There are two Stanford sites that are keeping tabs on it all. One, of course is Athletics, which has a dedicated Olympics site. There also is Stanford magazine, which, in addition to its online postings, is using Facebook and Twitter (#Cardinal2012) to keep readers abreast of Stanford’s contenders.

On tap today, Aug. 7?

The U.S. women’s water polo team, which includes ANNIKA DRIES, ’14; MELISSA SEIDEMANN, ’13; MAGGIE STEFFENS, ’16; JESSICA STEFFENS, ’10; and BRENDA VILLA, ’03, will play in the semifinal against Australia. MARIYA KOROLEVA, ’12, will compete for Team USA in synchronized swimming; ARANTXA KING, ’12, will compete in the women’s long jump for Bermuda; KERRI WALSH-JENNINGS, ’00, will compete for the USA in the women’s beach volleyball semifinal against China, while USA volleyball players LOGAN TOM, ’03, and FOLUKE AKINRADEWO, ’09, play the Dominican Republic.

The Stanford magazine site as well as the Athletics Olympics site both feature profiles and highlights.
