Serena Williams, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James at the 2012 London Olympics

An iconic photo of Serena Williams alongside Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and the rest of the USA men’s basketball team at a local McDonald’s during the 2012 London Olympics recently resurfaced online.

The former World No. 1 and 23-time Grand Slam Champion created history that year, winning her first-ever singles gold medal at the Olympics with a victory over Maria Sharapova in the summit clash. She defeated Jelena Jankovic, Urszula Radwanska, Vera Zvonareva, Caroline Wozniacki, and Victoria Azarenka en route to the final.

Williams also won the doubles gold alongside sister Venus Williams that year, successfully defending their title by defeating Czech Republic’s Andrea Hlaváčková and Lucie Hradecká in the final, 6–4, 6–4. It was their third Olympic doubles gold medal together (previously in 2000 and 2008).

Celebrating her double gold, Williams shared a photo alongside other American Olympians in London at the fast-food restaurant. Decorated basketball stars such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, and James Harden could be seen in the photograph as well.

The basketball team also won gold at the 2012 Olympics, beating Spain 107-100 in the final.

The iconic photo, shared by Williams at the time via the video-sharing app Mobli, resurfaced on social media now while some fans were reminiscing about her glory days before retirement. The 23-time Grand Slam champion hung up her racquet in 2022, playing her final tournament at the US Open.

In singles, Williams completed the Career Grand Slam in 2003, with her first wins at the four Slams coming in: Australian Open (2003), French Open and Wimbledon (2002) and the US Open (1999). Then, by winning the Olympic gold in London in 2012, she achieved the Golden Slam.

“BBC’s ‘The City Is Ours’ RETURNS: Prepare for Betrayals, Flashbacks, and Sean Bean’s Stunning Comeback!” 23 Tháng 9, 2025 BBC’s ‘The City Is Ours’ is BACK: Betrayals, Flashbacks, and Sean Bean’s Shocking Return! The BBC has confirmed that their gripping new series The City Is Ours will be renewed for a second season. Widely acclaimed by both critics and audiences alike, the gritty crime thriller’s opening episode has garnered 6.6 million viewers to date. More than 3 million viewers were already streaming the show in advance of its finale last night. The series boasts the position of the most-watched drama launch of the year, so it’s no surprise the Beeb want to cash in on the popularity. The 8-parter follows the story of Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson Joyce), the partner of notorious drug kingpin, Ronnie Phelan (Sean Bean). Beginning to contemplate the possibility of a future and a new family with his girlfriend, Diana, (Hannah Onslow), Michael reevaluates his life choices.

Featuring scenes such as the Catholic ‘wigwam’ cathedral, where a gangster prays for guidance before betraying his fellow crooks, to the ships on the Mersey, the series is set and shot in Liverpool, with an unwavering affection for the city. Others in the cast include Derry Girls’ Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Laura Aikman, last seen being jilted at the altar by Smithy in Gavin & Stacey – who we expect to see returning for series two. After the controversy of his character’s savage m::rder in episode 2, which fans deemed ‘m@d’, it has been confirmed that Sean Bean will make a reappearance in the second season. The news comes after some viewers took issue with his quick departure from the show, writing ‘Perhaps he can only manage 30 minutes of acting per programme. One of the biggest disappointments ever was him being written out of Game of Thrones so early.’ Speculation is already swirling that the new season will feature a flashback episode delving deeper into Ronnie’s past. We have all been blown away by the incredibly positive response to This City is Ours,’ said show creator Stephen Butchard. ‘I can’t thank the audience enough for their time and emotional investment.’ Beginning to contemplate the possibility of a future and a new family with his girlfriend, Diana, (Hannah Onslow, left), Michael reevaluates his life choices Beginning to contemplate the possibility of a future and a new family with his girlfriend, Diana, (Hannah Onslow, left), Michael reevaluates his life choices Featuring scenes such as the Catholic ‘wigwam’ cathedral, where a gangster prays for guidance before betraying his fellow crooks, to the ships on the Mersey, the series is set and shot in Liverpool, with an unwavering affection for the city Featuring scenes such as the Catholic ‘wigwam’ cathedral, where a gangster prays for guidance before betraying his fellow crooks, to the ships on the Mersey, the series is set and shot in Liverpool, with an unwavering affection for the city ‘This City is Ours was one of our team’s first commissions when I joined the BBC,’ added Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama. ‘I could not be happier with how Stephen, Saul and the Left Bank team have brought it to the screen so classily.’ The show has garnered a whopping 92% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with one fan on X calling last night’s finale ‘Shakespearean level drama’. But Salt suggests that the drama is only just beginning: ‘I’m delightedthat we now get to build on this fantastic first run and show that things are only just getting started for this very special series’.
