Zooming In: Olympics Day Fifteen

Bringing you the top Olympic stories that aren't covered in the USA! USA! USA!

Zooming In London Olympics 2012

If hyperlocal was the journalism trend of 2011, then hyperinternational is today's hotness. (It's also possible we just made it up.) That's why Gelf Magazine and Deadspin have decided to showcase the best—or at least the most interesting—foreign-produced journalism with our new feature—Zooming In: The Olympic Edition.

Throughout the Games, we’ll comb through hundreds of international news publications to bring you stories and local perspectives that can’t be found stateside. Each day, we'll give you our top five finds, giving you the chance to be as globally cultured as foreign-government-controlled papers permit.

Today we look into Iranian's issue with the Games' logo, what happened to Kenya's long-distance running dominance, and an American-Israeli competing for Russia.
