Three Olympic gold medalists from the Cincinnati area -- basketball star Oscar Robertson, archer Darrell Pace and gymnast Amanda Borden -- are supporting an effort to bring the 2012 Summer Olympics to Cincinnati.

All three have volunteered to help the Greater Cincinnati Amateur Sports Association try to persuade Olympic officials to award the 2012 Summer Games to Cincinnati, the organization said in a statement Tuesday.

They are to serve as co-chairs of the Sports Advisory Council, a subsidiary of the association.
