A CSU rugby star is headed to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, soon to play for Team USA in the 2016 Summer Olympics. He is one of two CSU athletes in the games.

Excitement and anticipation are being felt by people all around the world, as we gear up for the Olympic games to kick off in just a few weeks from now. Here in Fort Collins, we are especially pumped to get to watch a talented athlete from Colorado State University compete for the gold, thousands of miles away in Rio.

With the Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro only a short time away, we started to wonder in the office if the Winter Olympics could ever come to Colorado.

The Summer Games don't occur until 2016, but watching sports on the Altitude Network over the weekend made me think that if Northern Colorado had our own games every two years, what sports would fit the area perfectly?

With the Winter Olympics coming up in Sochi, we have learned that famous skier Lindsey Vonn will not be participating.

The 2012 U.S. women’s gymnastics team nabbed the gold at the Olympics, defeating Russia, who took the silver. Go girls! The U.S. women’s gymnasts have not won the gold medal since 1996, so it’s been a while. Perhaps that’s why so many pop stars were quick to issue tweets offering their hearty congratulations to the ladies for their big win!

Congratulations to Colorado's Olympian, Missy Franklin. The 16-year-old from Centennial has won another medal in the 100-meter backstroke Monday. How fast was Missy?

The 2012 Olympic Swimming Team doesn't have much time for anything right now but focusing on their performance, but they did take time out to make a fun parody video to the tune of Carly Ray Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." Colorado's own Missy Franklin, a 16-year-old from Centennial appears in the video along with other swimmers. Watch below and enjoy.

There is a very serious movement out there to make pole dancing an Olympic sport, with the 2012 London Olympics being targeted as a "test event."
