@ the intersection of sports and thought

I browsed through this earlier today, and I had no clue exactly how much I really missed in the Olympics this year. The sailboats capsizing? I had no idea that happened. And apparently resulting in a disputed gold medal.

The Russian polevaulter breaking the world record? . . . I had no idea she looked like a man.

I hadn’t seen a pic of the taikwando ref getting kicked in the face.

The picture of the German weightlifter posing with the picture of his wife was simply  touching.

Bush’s sweaty back. (You’ll see what I’m talking about).

Jenny Finch balling her eyes out on stage. I know softball is being disbanned after this year, but come on. You got a silver medal.

More Michael Phelps photos . . . .

More photos of Michael Phelps’ mom . . .

Yao Ming being tall.

There’s just so much that I actually missed that I wish I hadn’t. You can check it out here.
