Ryan Lochte - Great Swimmer... terrible at interviews

By me...didn't want athlete associate with this schmuck.
An Australian newspaper has sparked a potential diplomatic storm by rebranding North and South Korea 'Naughty' and 'Nice'.
The Brisbane Metro sneaked the joked into their coverage of the Olympics, where it featured on a medal table, charting the progress of nations competing at London 2012.
The 'rebranding' has attracted a wave of interest and is trending on Twitter, where some users have accused the newspaper of 'racism'.

Speaking of amazing talent.....

Such an inspiration to other people who face the same challenges as he does. I especially think of all of the soldiers who have come back from war in this condition. I hope he can be an inspiration for hope and the future!
As far as I'm concerned, he wouldn't have to say a word......:haha:Quote:

Phelps Drowns

LONDON—American swimmer Michael Phelps, who earned 21 medals and became the most decorated Olympian of all time, drowned Saturday while competing in the last scheduled race of his career, officials for the London games confirmed.
According to sources, during the third leg of the 400-meter medley relay, Phelps, a very competent swimmer and 17-time gold medalist, began struggling in the pool, ingested a fatal amount of water, and subsequently died from primary respiratory impairment. He was 27.
"Though Mr. Phelps was swimming the butterfly at the time—one of his best strokes—he appeared to become distressed during his second lap and began wildly flailing his arms and legs," Team USA medical director Bill Moreau said at a press conference outside the London Aquatics Centre. “For the next 30 seconds, he furiously gasped for air while thrashing the surface in a desperate attempt to remain afloat.”
"After nearly a minute of his head repeatedly emerging from the water only to quickly disappear again beneath the surface, Phelps' body became limp,” Moreau added. “We would have stopped the race, but he was leading at the time."
Poolside witnesses reported that Phelps—a world-record holder in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly, and 400-meter individual medley—displayed all the classic signs of drowning: head low in the water, eyes open with fear evident in the face, and a complete lack of body control.
The three-time Olympian and world champion, known as the Baltimore Bullet and Flying Fish for his prowess in the pool, reportedly only had 25 meters left in his leg of the relay as well as in his entire storied career when he began choking on water and attempting to scream for help.
Sources confirmed Phelps appeared as if he was desperately trying to swim to the shallow end of the pool, but toxic amounts of water filled his lungs before he was able to do so.
"This is not the way I wanted Michael to go out," longtime coach Bob Bowman told reporters. "Maybe after 20 years of intense training and swimming, he just got tired and couldn’t do it anymore."
Added Bowman, "At least he drowned as the greatest swimmer of all time."
Michael Fred Phelps II is survived by his mother, Deborah; his father, Michael Sr.; and two sisters, Hilary and Whitney.

BRAVO!!!! DC! That gal Ennis is awesome. My goodness...hopefully four years from now, when they're in Rio, the women will all be running around in G strings :naughty: Unless of course, the morality police have their way and force some kind of dress code...say Middle Eastern inspired garb?
Speaking of Ennis, here is a healthy, beautiful woman and someone in the media made comment about her looking "heavy". Heavy??? :crazycobasa: I would like to be heavy like that - anyday of the week! Small wonder women and girls have such image issues these days. :nono:
HA! Suck it Canada!

According to Jessica's coach, an unnamed British athletics official labeled the 5ft 5in powerhouse fat earlier this year. Jess Ennis might not have long supermodel-esque legs like some of the athletes she competed against at the Olympics, but she's about as far from fat as a woman can get—it would probably be impossible to pinch an inch anywhere on her body.
I'll take a woman with an athletic build over the skinny crack whore super model look any day of the week. One of the things I like about the Olympics is looking at all the muscles, on both the men and women. You look at the bodies some of these athlete's have built and you have to admire the work and dedication.

Dang.... maybe I shouldn't have called Misty May old.... that will probably get some of the huggie feelie types in a up roar..... and then I'll just have to laugh because their panties are in a bunch.
Oh, it's all good. They're letting us have our fun, unmolested. The thread hasn't been shut down...it's not so bad. The sexuality is actually mixed with a large dose of admiration and awe. Barbie doll Playboy types are one thing, but to me these are the most beautiful women in the world. And yes, I wouldn't mind waking up next to many of them. Lucky boyfriends they have, eh?
Jennifer Suhr was awesome last night...I actually got teary eyed.

I don't care what anyone else says, nor what I have said in any other thread. My workout routine includes watching that video posted by Ice on page one, pausing at 4:30, changing my clothes and then wailing on my muscles for an hour. Call it what you want. I call it motivation. And it's better than any energy drink. :stud:

Go Bolt! Everything I see on this guy is awesome. :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:Quote:
Usain Bolt celebrates 100m gold with Swedish women's handball team
Usain Bolt didn't need to leave the athletes' village to toast his 100 metres gold, preferring to celebrate with three members of the Swedish women's handball team.
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...t_2301349b.jpg Party time: Usain Bolt posted this photo of him celebrating his 100m victory with three Swedish handball players on twitter
Bolt beat his training partner Yohan Blake to retain his 100m title and in the process set a new Olympic record of 9.63 sec. The 25 year-old decided to enlist the help of Gabriella Kain, Isabelle Gullden and Jamina Roberts, who lost all five of their matches and finished bottom of their group in the handball tournament, to celebrate his victory.
The photo is slightly surprising considering that Bolt had insisted there would be no celebrations as he still has to try and retain his 200m crown.
“This gold means I am one step closer to being a legend so I'm working toward that,” Bolt said. “That's just one step, I have the 200m to go so I can't celebrate.”
A Swedish newspaper reported that the trio asked Bolt’s coach for accreditation so that they could congratulate the sprinter and spent an hour-and-a half in the sprinting legend's bedroom.
The Swedish ladies were not his only admirers. After confirming his status as the fastest man on earth he even got a kiss from last night’s silver medallist in the 400m Christine Ohuruogu.

I just don't get it...perhaps it's envy. That would breed the resentment, at least. Regardless, there's still no other place in the world I would want to live.
