LONDON — The 2012 London Games have been labeled "the women's Olympics" thanks to record-setting performances and watershed moments like the dawn of women's boxing as well as the participation of female athletes from Saudi Arabia.

How did NBC decide to help celebrate this incredible time for women in sports? With meaningless objectification, of course!

"Bodies In Motion" was an online video produced by NBC in which women competing in various Olympic sports were featured in softcore, fetishist slow-motion highlights, while porn-tastic jazz music played on the soundtrack.

It looked like something a testosterone-filled teenager with a DVR would have spliced together for YouTube; instead, it was the official rights holder of the Olympics in the U.S. that produced it.

As of Friday night, the video has been removed from NBCOlympics.com, according to the Huffington Post. The original URL for the clip now leads to a page that reads, "The page was not found or there was an error. You will be redirected in a few seconds to the homepage. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Seems like NBC heard the backlash loud and clear.

LONDON — Zofia Noceti-Klepacka of Poland won the bronze medal in the women's RS-X at the London Olympics, a windsurfing event that involved a heavy sailboard.

Now she intends to sell it — but for a very worthy cause.

Noceti-Klepacka has a neighbor named Zuzia, a 5-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis. She requires constant care, and that care has proven to be a financial challenge to her family. She's also Noceti-Klepacka's biggest fan.

So Noceti-Klepacka vowed before the Summer Games that if she won a medal, she would put it up for auction, with the proceeds going to Zuzia and her family.

The U.S. women's volleyball team can win its first-ever Olympic title Saturday with a win over Brazil, but before its quest to don gold began, two national team members took everything off.

Outside hitter Megan Hodge and right-side hitter Destinee Hooker appeared in ESPN's latest "Body Issue" — the publication's yearly celebration of nude athlete bodies. The shoot featured 2012 Olympians Hodge and Hooker and other national team vets Nellie Spicer, Heather Bown, Stacy Sykora, Cynthia Barboza and Alisha Glass.

"Your body is a work of art in itself," Hooker said. "I jumped at the opportunity because why not do it?"

During the NBA playoffs, more media members cover each game than you can stuff into already crowded locker rooms. To make things easier, postgame chats with each contest's top performers are conducted in a separate interview room, up on a stage, with spotlights shining on the athletes and cameras carrying every question and answer to the fans at home. Only a select few ballers take part in these postseason Q&A sessions — if you're one of them, you just had what's called a "podium game."

In the Olympics, of course, "podium" carries a slightly different meaning. At the end of each day of hoops competition in London, we'll bridge the gap between the two, celebrating those performers who shone for their national teams, helped their squads get closer to the medal stand, or both. This is Podium Games.

The gold goes to ... LeBron James of the United States. At the risk of belaboring a point I made in some detail after Wednesday's quarterfinal win over Australia, James' all-around game is just ridiculously sharp right now, giving coach Mike Krzyzewski so much flexibility in setting his lineup and continually making the game easier for whichever teammates he winds up alongside. The versatility was on display again in Team USA's 109-83 semifinal victory over Argentina, as James did a bit of everything to keep the U.S. on time and on target.

While designated scorers Kevin Durant (a game-high 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including a 5-of-10 mark from 3-point range), Carmelo Anthony (18 points off the bench, also on 7 of 14, and 4 of 8 from deep) and Kobe Bryant (13 points, 11 of which came in the first quarter, on 3 of 6 from distance) each took their turns bombing from beyond the arc, James again went to work both in the trenches. He had two defensive rebounds and an assist before he attempted his first shot, and with just over two minutes left in the first quarter, added a trademark chase-down block, literally jumping over Anthony to erase a Carlos Delfino layup.

With so many gold medals up for grabs on Saturday, Aug. 11, it's kind of hard deciding which ones to watch. Here's a breakdown of the most popular events of the day and when to watch them live. The events can be live-streamed on NBC's Olympics website.

Day 15 — Saturday, Aug. 11, 2012

Mexico faces its toughest challenge Saturday against Brazil in the gold medal match.Wake up early to catch the men's soccer gold medal match between Brazil and Mexico at 10 a.m. ET. Some have called Mexico's run to the final unprecedented, but soccer fans the world over have known even before the Games began that the team would be vying for the gold against Brazil. On Friday, Mexico head coach Luis Fernando Tena confirmed that Giovani dos Santos, one of Mexico's best players, will not suit up for the final after injuring his knee in the semifinal against Japan. The game will be aired live on NBC Sports Network and Telemundo. Join the live chat with Yahoo! Sports expert Brooks Peck starting at 9:45 a.m. ET.

In women's basketball action, America's most dominant team will go for its fifth

1. You should probably just go read Les Carpenter's piece on American wrestler Jordan Burroughs, who won wrestling gold over Iranian Sadegh Gourdazi. Picking a favorite part of the story is difficult, as you have to choose between Burroughs wading up to Section 410 to celebrate with his mother, how he was on the podium 30 minutes before the medal ceremony was set to start or how he said he was so committed to winning the gold that should the queen herself step onto the mat, he would "probably double-leg" her. Jordan Burroughs, Olympic gold medalist and catchy quote machine.

2. Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce slipped past Carmelita Jeter for the 100m gold earlier in the week, but the American got some revenge when she anchored a world-record-setting 4x100m relay for the U.S. women. Jeter combined with 200m champ Allyson Felix, Tianna Madison and Bianca Knight to rout the field with a 40.82, shaving .55 off the previous best. Jeter's strong finish came amid questions about her relationship with a banned coach.

3. The men's basketball gold-medal game is set, and it will be a rematch of 2008's thriller in Beijing. Spain rallied from a halftime deficit to down Russia, while the United States blew open a close game against Argentina with an explosive third-quarter performance. Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love will have their hands full with the Gasol brothers and Serge Ibaka down low, but it might not matter if LeBron James continues his brilliant play. The gold will be decided on Sunday at 10 a.m. EDT.

4. After not participating in the 4x400 finals at the 2011 world championships, Oscar Pistorius wanted to get a shot in the relay final. Friday in London his wish was granted, but the South African team was so far behind when he took the baton that he had no chance at a medal. It was an exciting race to the end, as the Bahamas ran down Team USA — which was without the injured Manteo Mitchell and Lashawn Merritt — in the final leg to win the gold.

5. Since the start of the Olympics, fans across the globe have been paying a lot of attention to the Dutch field hockey team. All of the photo galleries, blog posts and videos were worth it because the ladies of the Netherlands captured their second straight gold medal with a 2-0 win over Argentina. Great Britain prevailed in the bronze-medal game, with Kate Middleton supporting the hometown team. Should you have interest, here is a gallery of their celebration.

After rolling to a 7-0 mark at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, only two things stand between the U.S. men's national basketball team and Olympic gold: time and Spain. Plenty of watchers likely think it's simply a matter of the former.

After all, Team USA's posted an average margin of victory of 35.6 points per game in London, including a fairly comfortable 26-point win over a proud bunch from Argentina in semifinal play on Friday. Plus, the U.S. dismissed Spain by 22 in Barcelona to cap its pre-London exhibition slate, and while Spain boasts a talented roster with plenty of world-class players, the Spaniards haven't exactly looked brilliant in making their way to the final. They dropped games to Russia and Brazil (well, some people have opinions on that one) in group play, and looked stagnant offensively for large chunks of their knockout-round wins over France and Russia.

But stagnant or no, Spain got here, and exhibition loss or no, history suggests that means Spain's dangerous — namely, the fact that the U.S. beat Spain by 37 in pool play back in Beijing and then found itself in a dogfight late in the gold-medal game just a week later. Can Pau Gasol and company rekindle some of that same magic and give the U.S. a run for it? Or will the American offensive attack be too much for Spain to handle?

Join us back here at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday as we find out during a live chat of the gold-medal matchup between Team USA and Spain. (Please note that while we'll try our best, we might not be be able to get to all questions and comments — we appreciate your understanding.)

Let's go for the gold in live-blogging:
