Of course: Oscar Pistorius, Felix Sanchez, Michael Phelps, Usan Bolt (and his TPM record: more than 80.000 Tweet per minute), but ...
My prefered stories: Dong Hyun setting a new world record in archery although he is ... blind! And Hamadou Djibo Issaka: was given a wild card and 3 months to train to rowing... that's the olympic spirit!
Also from the Olympics but much less glorious: the scandal of censorship.
But there was something bigger in July 2012: The Higgs boson has almost certainly been discovered!
The Higgs boson was a "missing particle", predicted by the standard model of physics 50 years ago, but never so far observed. A mega device, the Large Hadron Collider (cost: $1B+) has been build just for it. Electroweak interactions, symmetry-breaking scalar fields... poetry!
