    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

    How to play the London 2012 basketball Google doodle.

    Work hours across the globe are at stake again with Google's second playable doodle during the ongoing London Olympics 2012. Following its interactive hurdles doodle, Google has posted a shoot and score London 2012 basketball doodle.
    The interactive doodle lets users shoot baskets using the space bar or by holding and releasing the left mouse key. The longer you hold down the key the more power you get in your shoot. As you go on scoring those baskets the game gradually gets tougher and the player is moved further away from the ring.
    The doodle, which features a basketball player dressed in blue, allows you to shoot as many baskets as you can in 24 seconds. It shows a countdown timer and also the points earned.
    Quite like the London 2012 hurdles doodle users can share and flaunt their scores on Google's social networking service Google+.
    In the doodle the letter of the Google logo are shown as 'seated' in the audience.
    The Google London 2012 basketball doodle doesn't let you slam dunk (or at least we weren't able to figure out how to).
    Google's interactive doodles are turning into a reason for worry for bosses. When Google celebrated the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man game with an interactive doodle, that allowed users to play Pac-Man right on the Google home page led to, according to analysts, a loss of $120 million to the British eco
