More Olympics Victory Dances - One of the best moments of the 2012 Olympics so far was Serena Williams joyously crip-walking after she won the gold over Maria Sharapova. Some observers thought it was inappropriate, but we thought it was fantastic. Too bad other athletes don't have Serena's moves. But just in case there are other aspiring medalists with a good sense of rhythm out there, we've compiled the following list of suggestions for Olympics victory dances. Everybody get your walk on. —Alex Gale (Photo: REUTERS/Mike Blake)

Usain Bolt - "I’m now a legend. I’m also the greatest athlete to live. I’ve got nothing left to prove. I’ve showed the world I’m the best," Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt humbly told reporters following his double gold wins of the 100m and 200m competition. (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

The Running Man - If Usain dances as fast as he runs, we’re going to need to find some faster music. Someone call Uncle Luke and give him a Red Bull.  (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

The Chickenhead - It's messed up that there's no official word for the male equivalent of a chickenhead (a "mickenhead" maybe?). Especially with Ryan Lochte winning all those medals. He could raise awareness by rocking the 'bow-throwing dance made famous by Chingy's "Right Thurr" video after a race. (Photo: Adam Pretty/Getty Images)
