Olympic fever is upon us, and we can’t stop watching the London Games. And what better way to honor the historic competition than picturing our favorite stars as Olympians?

Here are 10 celebs we’d love to see on the medal stand:
1) Jennifer Lawrence, Archery
Katniss Everdeen is known for her archery skills. In order to prepare for her Hunger Games role, Jennifer Lawrence had to undergo intense training in the sport. "By about the fifth day [of training], she was doing really well," Lawrence’s trainer – and decorated Olympian - Khatuna Lorig told Hollywood.com. "She looks like a professional." If Lawrence were to compete in the London Olympics, she’d be in good company: (spoiler alert!) Lorig placed fourth yesterday in the women’s individual competition in archery.
2) Ryan Gosling, Swimming
While he may not be able to out-swim Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte, Ryan Gosling’s beach body can sure hold its own with the rest of ‘em. And we think that deserves a gold medal in itself.
3) and 4) Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Mario Lopez, Beach Volleyball
What better way to take it back to the early 90’s than having Zack Morris and A.C. Slater take on the competition in a little California-style beach volleyball? Go Bayside USA!
5) Selena Gomez, Gymnastics
While the 5'5" actress might be slightly taller than the average elite female gymnast, Selena Gomez has potential: The former Wizards of Waverly Place star had to endure two months of serious dance training for her role in Another Cinderella Story. Not to mention that Gomez’s boyfriend, Justin Bieber, is already a favorite amongst the Fab Five – and visa versa.
6) Daniel Radcliffe, Dressage
Not only is the Harry Potter actor built like a jockey – making him a great candidate for the premier British sport – it is clear by his role in Equus that Radcliffe really, um, loves horses.
7) Channing Tatum, Weightlifting
Magic Mike. Need we say more?
8) Matthew McConaughey, Track & Field
Like his Magic Mike costar Channing Tatum, we already know that Matthew McConaughey is in pretty decent shape. And with the constant paparazzi shots of McConaughey running everywhere from the beach to the streets of New York, we’re willing to bet he’d make Team USA proud.
9) and 10) Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Synchronized Diving
The superstar best friends already wrote and starred in a movie together (1997’s Good Will Hunting), parodied themselves in hilarious videos with Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel, and recently, they even moved in next door to each other. To paraphrase Chandler Bing, could they BE any more in synch? We think not.
