With just seven days to go in London, isn’t it time you started paying attention? Here are Smarter Upstarter’s Twitter recommendations for the final week:

@HolleyMangold

Little sister to @nickmangold, she’s been keeping it real with her feed all week long as she gets set to represent the US in weightlifting.

@LoloJones

Olympic hurdler who got into a bit of hot water for her tweets, but that’s what makes her fun to follow.

@KevinLove

The power forward is heavy on Instagram photos from inside team USA’s quest for basketball gold.

@samuelljackson

The man is practically live-tweeting the games, adding serious USA enthusiasm to everyone’s feed.

Olympics Cams

The Olympic Committee set up stationary cameras all over the place and gave them their own Twitter accounts. Consistently great:

@L2012BballCam - over the basketball hoop
@L2012TableCam - looking down onto the table tennis table
@L2012StadiumCam - on the Olympic Stadium roof, looking down onto the track
@L2012MatCam - looking down onto the judo/wrestling mat
@L2012PoolCam - underwater in the aquatics center
