What to watch for in 2012

Usain Bolt in the 100-meter final; Ryan Lochte against Michael Phelps in the 200-meter individual medley; the USA gymnastics comeback kids: Nastia Liukin, Alicia Sacramone, Shawn Johnson; the new Munchkin Queen, gymnastics world champ Jordyn Wieber; ex-Golden Domer Mariel Zagunis, the least appreciated great U.S. Olympian of the new millennium, trying for a third straight fencing gold. And, looking further ahead: Evan Lysacek's delayed figure skating comeback (hopefully) with an eye on the 2014 Olympics.
