With the London Olympics kicking off, there's going to be plenty of hubbub about who's performing what at the opening and closing ceremonies. While that's all well and good, we thought it was more interesting to look at which musicians could hold their own in an athletic event.

It turns out that there are quite a few artists who can run, throw, hit, kick and, yes, fence just as well as some of the best in the sport. Some were captains of high school teams, others set records and a few might have gone pro if their lives shook out a little differently. So, with that in mind, check out our gallery of musicians with athletic pasts. Some might even surprise you.

I haven't really followed her career but I got her first release and it definitely isn't country.This is the second time recently the AOL link writers have referred to her as country.~---- blackwhiteplanet _℃om ~~~~~ is for thousands of upscale men and beautiful women, who understand that ambition, success, and glamour are key elements of attraction. It's worth a try!

Your forgetting a more recent band, One Direction. Liam Payne is an accomplished runner who even had a reserved spot for this years Olympics. But of course One Direction won that star out faster than the track.
