London Eye: Gators devour gold to rival Yorkshire

While Yorkshire athletes are cleaning up at the Games for Great Britain with six gold medals, the same is true for the sports teams from the University of Florida, known as the "Gators", whose alumni include the triple jumpers Christian Taylor and Will Claye who won gold and silver, women's footballers Abby Wambach and Heather Mitts, part of the US gold medal-winning squad, plus the decorated swimmer Ryan Lochte (five medals, two golds).

"Gator nation is the best," said Lochte, who graduated in 2007. "We've worked hard. We push our bodies to the limit and that's why we did so well."
