Team USA swimmer Ricky Berens celebrated his gold medal performance in London with a trip to the 'golden arches'.

"You know, we worked so hard to get to the Olympic games, to get a gold medal. We sacrifice so much, and now when you're finally finished, all you want to do is relax. You want to eat the foods that you haven't had a chance to in the last couple years. And it's really just our time to enjoy, and that McDonalds being the Olympic dining hall, it's just been calling our name this entire games, so it was, Conor Dwyer and I went and pigged out over there."

The feast reportedly included a couple of Quarter Pounders, a Big Mac, a couple order of fries and a McFlurry.

Berens and Dwyer, Ryan Lochte, and Michael Phelps won gold in the 4x200 relay that helped Phelps break the all-time Olympic medals record.
