SWIMMING - Rebecca Adlington of Great Britain.

BEACH VOLLEYBALL - Marta Menegatti of Italy.

TENNIS - Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.

UK nail art guru Sophy Robson deserves a big chunk of the credit for the current patriotic nail craze.

Robson designed two full pages of flag designs for every country imaginable.
