With two successful Olympic outings and six gold medals between them, swimmers Natalie Coughlin and Nathan Adrian had plenty to celebrate when they went out for late night Lebanese food on Monday.

Adrian, 23, and Coughlin, 29, were joined by fellow gold medalist Matt Grevers and his fiancée Annie Chandler when they grabbed 3 a.m. kebobs at a London's Ranoush restaurant.

Adrian – who had attended a party with Michael Phelps earlier – was also spotted giving Coughlin a back rub. But even though the two have been seen hanging out in London on multiple occasions, they are just friends: Coughlin is married to California-based swim coach Ethan Hall.

Jonathan Horton Goofs Off at Olympic Village

U.S. men's gymnastics team captain Jonathan Horton – who took home Silver and Bronze Medals in Beijing's 2008 Games – is relying on fun to stay focused as he prepares for the 2012 Olympic Games.

"We goof around," Horton, 26, says of life at London's Olympic Village.

"We are a very serious team, but at the same time, we're a bunch of goof balls and I think that's what keeps us relaxed, what keeps our spirit alive," he adds.

"We're here to perform and have a great time, [but] if we take this too [seriously], the stress and pressure and weight of the world will fall on us."
