PHOENIX, Arizona, September 11.

Each sport will honor their top volunteers and athletes at special ceremonies this week as well.
Japan held a parade for their Olympic medalists recently in Tokyo, crowding the popular district of Ginza so much that traffic stood still for hours as fans took photographs. The 10 swimmers who won medals in London were there, including Kosuke Kitajima, who won silver as part of the medley relay for his seventh Olympic medal overall. Japan collected 38 medals across all sports in London, including seven gold.
