If you were a man watching the Olympics, and fell under the hypnotic spell of the NBC broadcasters, you know the Olympics are all about watching the women of beach volleyball in their skimpy bikinis.  (If you are a woman, I suppose it must have been about divers and water polo players in their tiny speedos.)  I am stronger than that, though.  I know the Olympics are really about watching the women of many different sports, not just beach volleyball, and there are lots of better looking women than Kerri Walsh out there.  Here are my favorites:

#3.  The Norwegian womens' handball team

OK, maybe they weren't all models, but compared to all the other soccer, field hockey, softball and water polo teams in Beijing, this had to be the best-looking team in action.  And they can play, too -- they won the gold medal.

#2.  Italian volleyball player Francesca Piccinini

Best name, too.  Funny official web site with interactive menu.  And I swear I didn't even know about all the naked pictures of her that are on the Internets.  Well, after all, she is Italian.

FrancescaPiccanini

#1.  US hurdler Lolo Jones

OK, she could have been one of my big losers, too, after she choked in the finals with a big lead, heading for a gold medal with one hurdle to go.  But she's beautiful, she has a great story, and her web site is called RunLoloRun.com and has an outstanding version of Whatever Lola Wants as background music.  And look how sad she was after she lost...

It's not too late to report on the Olympics, is it?  It took a while to get over the devastating defeat of USA Softball (maybe the one sport I actually didn't watch).

First up, my list of the biggest losers of Beijing:

#3.  French swimmer Alain Bernard

OK, the guy won the gold in the 100m freestyle.  But before that happened, he declared that the French 4x100 relay team would "crush" the Americans.  Then, in the final, he anchored the race, heading into the final 50 yards with a massive lead over USA.  And, of course, he then totally choked and let Jason Lezak catch him (maybe you remember seeing Michael Phelps celebrating...  like about 300 times in the following 2 weeks.)

D'oh!

#2.  American gymnast Alicia Sacramone

Well, she did earn a little more respect from me when she appeared at Fenway Park this week, but she still goes down as a big loser in my book.  With the US gymnastics team leading by a decent amount through 2 events, Sacramone stepped up to the balance beam and, bam, she fell off before she'd even gotten on.  Pretty bad, but the US still had a chance at gold going into the floor exercise.  Up comes Sacramone again, with a chance to redeem herself.  Instead, she falls on her ass (literally), and the US, with the 2 best female gymnasts, only manages a silver medal.

#1.  American pole vaulter Jenn Stuczynski's coach

Jenn Stuczynski won the silver medal in pole vault.  The only person who beat her was the greatest female pole vaulter of all time and world-record holder from Russia.  Stuczynski is a big winner, except in her choice of coach.  After she finished, NBC played the "pep talk" from her coach.  He ripped her for not having it that day, and couldn't have seemed more disappointed by winning silver, barely even looking at her.    He came out looking like a total dick, and wins my biggest loser of the Olympics award.

Check it out here.

Roho-tiedye

The Sumo drug scandal deepens...

After Wakanoho got busted with marijuana, the sumo association decided to randomly drug test all their top wrestlers.  Sure enough, two more Russian wrestlers -- brothers Roho and Hakurozan -- tested positive for marijuana.  Though Roho denies ever smoking pot and is demanding a second drug test, I imagine he and his brother will both soon be getting the boot from Sumo along with Wakanoho.

Once again, I think the telltale signs were obvious with these two.  Check out their official portraits with their chosen "kesho-mawashi's".

This is a fascinating rap about the CERN Large Hadron Collider.  Thanks to a number of physics talks over the last half dozen years of TED, I have a tiny piece of a clue what they are talking about.  But my brain hurts a little bit after watching this video.
