    2012 London Olympics: Google Doodle Celebrates Artistic Gymnastics Men's Ring

    Google has dedicated its latest doodle to the Artistic Gymnastics Men's Ring on the fourth day of the London Olympics 2012 which also followed the British team winning a medal in the category, the first in a century.

    Team GB's Louis Smith, Max Whitlock, Daniel Purvis, Sam Oldham and Kristian Thomas have won the bronze medal in the gymnastics team event held on 30 July. The team was in the second position after the final round but an appeal from the Japanese team pushed them to the third position.

    The last time a British team won a medal in team gymnastics - bronze - was in Stockholm 1912.

    'For us, this is a dream come true. To get a bronze medal is a miracle. Silver, bronze, it doesn't matter. We have the bronze medal on our necks, who cares about silver? We set out to come top six or top five; to enjoy ourselves. To get a medal was unbelievable,' team captain Louis Smith said.
    The graphic image on the Google's home page depicts a male mustachioed gymnast performing on two rings which is made of the two Os in the Google logo. It also shows a cheering crowd in the background.

    Artistic Gymnastics uses still rings as the gymnastic apparatus and requires extreme body strength to perform. It is known for three gymnastic disciplines - artistic, rhythmic and trampoline.

    The event has six fields - the pommel, the high bar, the rings, the vault, the parallel bars and the flo

    Interesting Facts about Hockey and the Olympics

    Men’s Hockey made its debut at the London 1908 Games.
    The first women’s Olympic Hockey competition was held at the Moscow 1980 Olympic Games.
    The hockey pitches are 91.4m long and 55m wide.
    Each goal is surrounded by a D-shaped shooting circle. The penalty spot at either end is 6.4m from the goal.
    The goals at each end are 3.66m wide and 2.14m high.
    Until the 1970s, hockey was always played on grass. However, top-level matches, including those at London 2012, now take place on water-based synthetic-turf pitches, which allow the ball to roll more smoothly and quickly.
    For the first time ever at the Olympic Games, the London 2012 hockey pitch is blue, rather than green.
