Ryan Lochte with his gold medal and patriotic-colored mouthpiece (inset)

Only a couple of days into the 2012 Olympics, Team U.S.A is already showing some impressive victories in London. The country currently boasts 16 medals total, including five gold.

Perhaps the biggest highlight from the games so far: Ryan Lochte's golden triumph in the 400 IM Saturday, where the 27-year-old beat out teammate (and rival) Michael Phelps, 27, who placed fourth.

That's not to say there haven't been other amazing wins for Team U.S.A. From favorites Kerri Walsh Jennings, 33, and 34-year-old Misty May-Treanor's advancing in beach volleyball to a new record set in skeet shooting, check out a recap of the U.S. highlights so far.

RYAN LOCHT

The only thing more eye-catching than the swimmer's amazing abs is his dazzling blinged-out grill, which he wore to win the gold in the 2009 World Championships. Fun fact: Ryan sported self-promoting footwear at the same event in 2011. 

VENUS WILLIAMS

The reigning Wimbledon doubles champ is also the queen of over-the-top court costumes, including a belly-baring crisscross mini. And we love that she often rocks complementary nail polish shades.
