I do not know the origin of this photo, but it had to be taken sometime after the U.S. men won the team bronze medal in gymnastics. Thanks to a reader. Full shot after jump. I do not know the origin of this photo, but it had to be taken sometime after the U.S. men […]

I have watched the slow-motion replay a dozen times and still can't believe that Michael Phelps (top swimmer in photo) won the 100-meter butterfly, tying Mark Spitz with seven gold medals in one Games. Phelps beat Serbia's Milorad Cavic, by the smallest margin possible in the sport, .01 of a second. Cavic's Serb team filed […]

Steeve Guenot of France (right) won his country’s first wrestling gold since 1924 when he won the 66 kg (145 pounds) class in Greco-Roman wrestling. The railway worker said, “This is the most beautiful day of my life.” Guenot's older brother Christophe won the bronze in the 74 kg (162 pounds) class. Photo of the […]

Yang is the Chinese gymnastics stud with the huge biceps and an all-around gold medal. But what’s up with the dog? Pics after jump. Yang is the Chinese gymnastics stud with the huge biceps and an all-around gold medal. But what’s up with the dog? Pics after jump.

I had not realized this little gem of a factoid until I got an e-mail from a Canadian reader: “Great job on all the Olympic coverage, as always! I notice you guys don’t have anything on Canada – you know a country of 33 million people that has yet to win a medal, yet Olympic […]

In Finneye's post on the Swedish wrestler who threw away his bronze medal, he gave some of the background surrounding the players involved. For another look at the act, we got this from Roger Brigham, himself a wrestler at the Gay Games. Writes Brigham: "Look at the expression on the Swede's face. He's screaming because […]

A few days back I ripped NBC's swim announcers Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines for their inability to shut up and for Gaines' propensity to declare the winner before the race was over. He did it again Wednesday night (Thursday morning in China) on the call of the women's 200-meter butterfly final. A few days […]

An Argentine gay website has the scoop of the Olympics – American swimmers Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are gay! Or maybe not. (See the web page after the jump).

When the U.S. men’s gymnastics team lost Paul and Morgam Hamm to injury, it seemed that any chance for a team medal went with them. But athletes given little chance have a way of rising to the occasion and it was true of the Americans, who won an unexpected bronze medal behind Jonathan Horton (left) […]

From left, swimmers Brent Hayden (Canada), Jason Lezak (USA) and Dominik Meichtry (Switzerland), all Olympians. Lezak’s stunning final leg helped the US win the 4×100 relay.

Memo to NBC: Tell swim announcers Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines to shut up. Their incessant yakking is detraction from what has been a great swimming session so far. They both understand the sport, especially past Olympian Gaines, but too often they try and predict and do not let the event play out and let […]

Michael Phelps won his fourth and fifth gold medals of the Beijing Games and now has 11 for his career, more than any Olympian in modern history (for all we know, some Greek 3,000 years ago won more laurel wreaths). He is clearly the greatest swimmer ever, but is he the greatest Olympian? Michael Phelps […]

Giving new meaning to Big Red, a campus website that covers the University of Nebraska has discovered that two of the university’s wrestlers have strutted their stuff on a gay porn site, including an NCAA champion. From The Scarlet Project: The Scarlet Project has obtained photos from an anonymous source of University of Nebraska 125-pound […]

A beard figured prominently in what German media are calling the country’s “debacle” so far in swimming. No German has come close to winning a medal, with even medal possibles failing to advance to the finals. Under a lot of criticism is backstroker Helge Meeuw, who failed to even make the finals of the 100 […]

In another sign that Europeans have a more relaxed view of showing nudity comes from this five-photo gallery from the Italian Repubblica newspaper of boxers weighing in before their event, shot from behind and showing cheeks. Can’t imagine the New York Times doing the same. Boxing weigh-in gallery. In another sign that Europeans have a […]
