The 2012 Summer Olympics were held in London, England, making London the first city to host the Summer Olympics three times, after 1908 and 1948. The Games were notable for near gender parity among participating athletes and for every competing nation, for the first time, including at least one female athlete on its team. British cyclist Bradley Wiggins and heptathlete Jessica Ennis were among the host nation's most prominent gold medalists in what British media dubbed Super Saturday.
