Want to cheer for some hometown athletes as the Olympics kick off this week? Well, there are a number of Georgia athletes in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

NBC has a great photo gallery of 30 local athletes that will be making us proud.

The University of Georgia is showing their support for 24 athletes across a number of different sports that qualified for this year's games (some are from Georgia, while others just came here for school). Check out that swimming and diving talent!

Georgia Tech even boasts a team captain - Angelo Taylor will lead our Track and Field team this summer!

Are you routing for any one special in this year's Olympics? The Opening Ceremonies air on Friday night beginning at 7:30 EST on NBC.
