2012 Olympics: 10 Coolest Photos from Second Day of Summer Games

Amazing images continue to bombard us from the London Olympics, especially from events that we would otherwise not pay any attention to at all (sorry all you die-hard slalom canoe fans out there)

In case you missed it, here is yesterday's list. Also, if you can think of any great captions for the pictures, write its number and your idea in the comments section below.

Here are the top 10 snapshots from the second day of competition...

9. Here's to You

Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa set a world record to win the men's 100-meter breaststroke. Afterwards, he celebrated by laying on top of the lane line and pointing skyward, pointing to Dale Oen. Oen, a Norwegian and the reigning world champion in the event, passed away earlier this year.
