"I kissed Lezak and I liked it"
I haven't done anything but watch the Olympics this past weekend, and I just saw the most exciting race ever!

Olympic Gymnast Alicia Sacramone HOT for Gold (Photos)
bittenandbound.com 8/13/2008 — U.S. Olympian Alicia Sacramone is the older woman on the team. At 20 years old, the Brown University student is the U.S. gymnastics team leader at the Beijing games. The U.S. women took a silver medal on Wednesday after a series of missteps by key team members. Nearly invincible China took gold and Romania captured bronze in the team event.
Michael Phelps Is Going to Win the Entire Olympics
evilbeetgossip.film.com 8/16/2008 — Honestly, this kid could have stuck Shawn Johnson’s vault landing in the women’s all-around competition. He could have stayed on the balance beam when Alicia Sacramone fell. And he’d have put Nastia Liukin’s uneven bar routine to shame. The 2008 Olympics belong to Michael Phelps.
As the NBC announcers said, he’s magical.

Gawker
According to NBC research, the Olympics are one of the few televised sporting events watched by as many women as men. Oddly enough, the Times reports this morning , they're really into Michael Phelps and other swimmers and also into gymnastics, like perhaps the "artistic gymnastics" medal winners pictured on the far left there. Sensing a theme, Chevrolet is targeting women with an ad ...

What If Dwight Schrute Controlled the Olympics? —

Despite the high-flying gymnastics and record-setting swimming , Dwight Schrute thinks the Olympics are for wimps. In this NBC promo for The Office , he takes down the decathlon and proposes his own, clearly much more taxing event: the Centathlon.
The Schrute-ified event starts out with normal enough events (side jump) then gets significantly more bizarre as the list goes on ...

Last night, like everyone else, I stayed up late to watch the All-Around Finals in Olympic Women’s Gymnastics. The thrill of cheering for our good, wholesome, corn syrup-fed girls to take their massive muscled thighs and (metaphorically, of course) break the necks of foreign competitors who are apparently ten years under the minimum age can’t be denied. But where even my ...

She’s tiny, but she can still beat the shit out of some dude ...
