More Olympic Observations

1. Isn't it a little misleading to call them the US Women's Gymnastics Team when they all look like they're active members of the Hannah Montana Fan Club?

2. Speaking of youth, there's a 15-year-old swimmer named Elizabeth Beisel representing the US and a 14-year-old diver named Tom Daley representing Great Britain. You know, I've always said, "Teens: They just don't have enough pressure on them." Wait, until you see the altitude on the 8-year-old pole vaulter.

Edit: This just in China's Women's Gymnastics team is comprised entirely of toddlers.

3. After the win against China, Lebron James commented that this was the biggest stage he's played on so far. So far? I guess he plans to play in some sort of intergalactic tournament. Beware the High Flying Venutian team.

4. Isn't it crazy how I have a passing interest in Men's Volleyball but seek out Women's Volleyball? And isn't it crazier that I like Women's Volleyball, but love Women's Beach Volleyball. In completely unrelated news, I am a heterosexual man.

5. Remember when the fun of the Olympics included guessing who was going to be on the Wheaties box and who was going to replace Larry Wilcox on Chips? (Bruce Jenner has both honors) Now the guessing game includes categories like:
Who's doping?
Who's going to Dance with the Stars?
Who will pose for Playboy?
Who will do Claritin ads in roughly 12 years? (Nice to see Shannon Miller again)
