COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The U.S. Olympic Committee has kicked off an online campaign featuring Nastia Liukin, Bryan Clay and other American athletes touring London before next year’s Summer Games.

In the first episode, which went live Monday, Liukin tours Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the O2 Arena, the site of next year’s Olympic gymnastics. Earlier this month, the defending all-around champion announced she was training for 2012.

Over the coming months, the USOC will also air Internet videos featuring Clay (decathlon), Henry Cejudo (wrestling), Heather Mitts (soccer) and Rebecca Soni (swimming).
