Well, I did, starting from the bottom:
#62 - Powershot S90
#51-61 - no exif
12 shots and no evidence of 1DX. Hardly what I would call predominantly 1DX.
I've built a number Olympic web galleries at work and have frequently checked the exif - a very high percentage of images, just as with the EURO 2012 tournament, have been made with the 1DX. A few years back all the press was about how Nikon was dominating with the D3. Now it seems Canon has bounced back quite nicely among at least the two agencies I can access at work - Getty and AP. Definitely a lot of very impressive images coming from this Olympics, regardless of the equipment used.
Amazing gallery! I was lucky enough to photograph the USA Men's basketball game and training here in town. Hope to be shooting the Olympics some day! (hell, my newspaper has one of the Sports columnists there! If only they'd send a photog... but of course that's what AP and Getty is for).

Canon finally has a AF system that works consistently well in a wide variety of conditions in the 1DX and 5D3 + quite a few improvements and features as well. The 1D3 was somewhat of a dud due to the AF fiasco although quite a few paper photogs used it. The 1D4 was kinda an inbetween body of sorts. Great camera also but it somewhat went under the radar.

Slightly OT but why do website developers continue to make sits that dont work on iPads? Given the millions of people using them and their 68% market share, it just seems senseless.
Install Google Chrome on your iPad. It shows the site fine and is more standards compliant than the Apple browser.

Great shots indeed. The cycling ones are really cool and 52 is also special.

But iPads are not even close of having 1% of the people browsing that site
Some very inspiring shots there. You can clearly see the emotion and the intensity of the athletes. I especially love #34.

Slightly OT but why doesn't Apple support Flash? Given the millions of websites using Flash, it just seems senseless.

Imo thats all about control. Flash lets others deliver content to the ipad without going through itms

Flash has a lot of issues with regard to performance and security. Also most of what flash is used for (playing media, interactivity, selective reveal, thing flying in, etc) can be achieved by using HTML5 and/or some client side development using jQuery and other open source tools.
Another issue is that Adobe has killed Flash for Android so any site using Flash is going to have issues on mobile devices sooner or later.

Exif isnt any special magic secret sauce.
I know it isn't, is just that most times they "save for web" to make the files lighter...
Wow, there some fantastic images. This is what great cameras can do in the hands of brilliant photogs. Number 59 is terrible though There are far far better images they could have used of the fireworks going off on the bridge.
