I'm also rooting for Ivet Lalova of Bulgaria, who has a decent chance of making the final in the women's 100 metres.

I think I need a cold shower after watching women's diving. I was especially taken by Tania Cagnotto of Italy, who didn't win a medal but still looks good no matter how she performs:

Hurdler Michelle Jenneke of Australia isn't going to the Olympics this year, but she probably will be in four years time. She'll give us something to look forward to: http://youtu.be/tMgmYutL9W0

Sara Galimberti, middle-distance runner, Italy. Okay, so she's not going to the Olympics, but are you going to complain about me posting her photos?

Heptathletes are the best all-around female athletes--competing in seven different events, they display incredible strength, speed, flexibility and endurance. Damned if they aren't pretty hot as well. Cases in point: Laura Ikauniece (Latvia) Dafne Schippers (Netherlands) Jessica...

Very cute... I like her. One more--German sprinter, Sina Schielke:

I know what you mean, but to me "class" isn't about knowing which fork to use when you're eating salad--it's about how you carry yourself and treat others. And John Madden is a class act. If you know anything about the things he did for Darryl Stingley--after a hit by one of Madden's players...

I don't have the same loyalties, but I understand the sentiment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDpKx4w_NIc

The W-L-T record for hockey goalies is the dumbest statistic in professional sports. Why record wins and losses when save percentage is the only number that really matters?

Anybody have some inside dope on this competition?

It's an old disco chant that goes back (at least) to the 1977 Michael Zager song, "Let's All Chant". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGNrufyCC-0

Ummm, there are a whole range of STDs you can catch even if you use a condom--e.g., gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis, chlamydia, HPV, syphillis, etc. If you have unprotected oral sex with multiple partners, your chance of contracting one of these diseases is quite high, and you've probably passed...

Anyone who has had sex with a prostitute is not allowed to give blood for at least a year. In some jurisdictions, the ineligibility is for life. There is also a lifetime exclusion for any man who has had sex with another man.

It actually has its roots in pagan summer solstice festivals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsummer
