Editor's note: Every four years (give or take), the world stops to watch human limits get pushed higher, faster, stronger. The Olympics are about winning medals, but they’re also about triumphant and heartbreaking stories, deep-seated patriotism, and inspiration for the next generation. And they’re a chance for the host country to shine (London in 2012 and Beijing in 2008 come to mind as standouts). Celebrate the spirit of global competition with some amazing Olympics wallpapers!
