So much for good sportsmanship at the Olympic games. Not if an opposing player is going to beat you for an easy goal. Best just to give them a right cross to the face to slow them down.
Oh, it was the Colombian women’s team that did this. Uh, never mind, just let it go ladies, let it go.
Ah, come on, she’s hot! Can’t she get a do over for being Greek, blonde and hot? I think this should be up to a vote of the male viewers of the games, not the Greek government or the Olympics. More from the Huffington Post:
Voula Papachristou has been expelled from the Greek Olympic Team for a racist twitter comment, according to the Associated Press. The website Keep Talking Greece translated the offensive tweet by Papachristou (@papaxristoutj):
“With so many Africans in Greece… At least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat home made food!!!”
Women’s high hurdles is not usually a high profile event in sports, even at the Summer Olympics . . . but it may be, in four years in Barcelona thanks to young Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke. In the video below, you’ll see that Michelle has, shall we say, a unique way of warming up. And it must work because she won her heat at the IAAF World Junior Championship last weekend very easily.
WARNING: You may spend most of the day watching this video over and over again once you see it.
Additional details from our favorite UK tabloid, the Daily Mail:
A young Australian hurdler is taking the Internet by storm with a warm-up dance she performed during the IAAF World Junior Championship last weekend in Barcelona.

The 19-year-old’s warm-up routine has had nearly 133,000 views since it was uploaded to YouTube yesterday, with Twitter users labelling her ‘The Hottest Hurdler Ever’.
