Jesus H. Christ. It sounds like those grumpy athletic officials really, really dislike Oscar Pistorius. How can you explain the following statement by IAAF General Secretary Pierre Weiss:
The decision by CAS (the Court of Arbitration in Sport which allowed Pistorius to compete with able-bodied runners) applies to all athletics events. But if he runs in the pack, there’s a risk that he or another athlete will fall.
July 15th, 2008 — Athletics, Pole Vault
Our Olympic hottie Yelena Isinbayeva keeps getting hotter and hotter. Translation: She just broke the world record in women’s pole vault.
Yelena, the “sex symbol of male couch potatoes”, vaulted 5.03 meters during the Rome Golden Gala meet last Friday to eclipse her previous world record by two centimeters.

Ronaldinho will still go to Beijing even if this means breaking his contract with Barcelona. Hah. Good for him. Maybe the other footballers, like Argentine Martin Demichelis, who are similarly being prevented by their clubs from playing in Beijing should follow Ronaldinho’s example.

Go, Palestine!
