Team what? The Humphreys/Billings family is having their global citizenship validated at the 2012 London Olympics. Lachlan (far left), 11, and Lauren (center, in cap), 9, were born in London but now live in Qatar. Their dad, Brett Humphreys is Australian (and also has British citizenship), and mom Susie Billings was born and raised in the US with an American father and Australian mother.

London 2012 gave Britain a patriotic boost – not to mention spectacular results at the medal table. Not everything, though, was as rosy as hoped.
