Shewfelt eliminated!

Another hottie we won't see again in Beijing: Olympic champion Kyle Shewfelt was disappointed with the score of 15.525 the judges gave him for his floor routine that left him 11th and short of the final – the event in which he was trying to defend his Olympic title. And the 26-year-old from Calgary was knocked out of the final in the vault after placing ninth with a score of 16.350. A couple of fare-well pics for us:

Good bye Greek God.

Day one of the Olympics, and right the first doping incident. Bulging Greek sprinter Tassos Gousis has failed a doping test days before he was due to compete in the 200 metres sprint competition.

Not sure if the drugs were also involved in creating the bulge the 29-years-old native of Corfu is carrying around. It's quite nice. Anyway, I'd prefer the naturally grown one. As we won't see this Greek athlete in Beijing anymore, let's have a final look...

Anastasios should definitely make use of the time at home to get a hair cut. They seem to have taken advantage of the drugs as well...

Now I understand...

...why Baseball is a sport well worth seeing!

I didn't really like it, until now. I assume that being European means having another sports-appreciation DNA... But Dr. Brandon Ketron of the Maryland Blue Crabs cared this disease, in an impressive short time!
