The Games of the XXX Olympiad are underway in London, United Kingdom. They're powered by the world's best athletes, years of training and a lot of muscle. It turns out that a lot of the Olympics are also powered by Joomla! websites.

Joomla!'s Social Media team enlisted the help of our community to locate sites related to the Olympics. With very special thanks to Brian Teeman, Ole Ottosen, Isidro Baquero, and Ben Tasker, here is a selection of what they found. Throughout the 2012 Olympic Games, links to these sites will be shared each day at Joomla!'s Facebook Page, Google Plus account and Twitter account.

    Ian, thanks for sharing those! It should make us all that Olympic heroes like Bradley and Nick chose Joomla! for the website needs. The Olympic-related sites campaign was really well received by the Facebook Page community, and your help is very much appreciated.
