With the Olympic opening ceremony fast approaching, we take a look at some of our favorite lesbian and bisexual medalists from Olympics past.
Natasha Kai, soccer, USA
With a body full of tattoos and a devilish smirk, there's nothing about Natasha Kai that says she plays it safe. Kai was part of the 2008 gold medal winning team in Beijing, beating out Brazil. That year was her best scoring year on the national team, with her starting 20 out of 28 games, and leading the team with 15 goals.

Vicky Galindo and Lauren Lappin, softball, USA
The women's national softball team took home the silver medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It’s truly a shame that softball is no longer an Olympic sport (though there is some hope that it may return in 2016), but Galindo, Lappin, and several other softball players have decided to move on from Team USA by joining the National Pro Fastpitch last year.
Camilla Andersen, Denmark and Mia Hundvin, Norway, handball
Andersen and Hundvin were married, and the pair was the first couple to compete against each other in Olympic competition in 2000 at the Sydney games. Denmark walked away with the gold medal, while Hundvin won the game winning point against Korea to capture the bronze medal. Andersen and Hundvin have since divorced.
