Hey, Rebecca. Whoever told you to bike like that?

For those of you who don’t know, Rebecca Romero is a British rower turned cyclist; she won a rowing silver medal [quadruple sculls] in Athens 2004 and is a favorite to win a cycling gold in Beijing. She has a website here.

Some of you are googling for “male Olympic hotties” so from now on I’m going to call every male Olympic gold medalist a “hottie” to get your traffic. [Evil, huh?] But, seriously, what’s hotter than a gold medal? Maybe a diamond medal but since they don’t make diamond medals, a gold medal is the hottest of them all. Anyone with an Olympic gold medal = hottie.

Anyways, you’ve already met, judoka Choi Minho, but here’s more pictures of him. My bet is that Korean school girls will soon ditch Rain and idolize this guy who, seemingly [but understandably in this instance], likes to cry.

Now we’re talking. The China vs. United States race for gold medals is on. Fencer Mariel Zagunis saved the day for the U.S. when she “outsabered” her opponents to win the first gold medal for the U.S. The food they brought all the way from the U.S. must have helped, no?

Anyways, it was actually a clean sweep for the Americans because they also won the silver and the bronze medals for the event prompting an AP writer, Noah Trister, [I think he's American] to write, “Now, the US is the only country with three medals.”

Methinks those silly South Korean school girls should now end their obsession with Rain and focus their attention to judoka Choi Minho who won the first gold medal for South Korea. He’s got everything that matters: good looks and an Olympic gold medal. Does Rain have a gold medal? None. Nada. Zero.

And here’s another reason why you schoolgirls should like Minho: he believes in his parent’s dreams and these dreams do come true. From monstersandcritics:

Romania’s judoka Alina Alexandra Dumitru should write a book entitled “How to Win an Olympic Gold Medal in 80 Seconds“. I think it will be a best seller.

Felicitări, Alina, you made Romania very proud indeed.

U.S. swimmer Amanda Beard deserves a gold medal for nudity. Seriously. She doesn’t need more Olympic gold medals because she has some already. But she needs a medal for encouraging all of us to be “comfortable in our own skin” and for practicing what she preaches. Anyways, let’s include her in our growing list of Olympic hotties.

Hah. Whoever took the above photo wanted me to write something like, “Pang Wei shoots opponent to win gold” but I’m not gonna do it. You think you can manipulate me that easily?

What I’m going to write instead is this: Eat your hearts out American “we will bring our food from the States” gringos, China has two gold medals now. Serves you right for giving us George W (twice, twice!!!) and spawning Bill O Reilly.

Good for you Samuel Sanchez for winning a gold medal for Spain. Now bring those hands down because they remind me of them irritating televangelists who I force myself to watch if there’s nothing interesting on TV.

Congratulations. Felicidades! [Note: The guys over here are debating whether felicidades or felicitaciones is the right translation for congratulations.]

If Czech shooter Katerina Emmons gained the distinction as the first gold medalist in Beijing, weightlifter Chen Xiexia will be remembered as the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal for the host country. Eat your heart out, United States, the Chinese have a gold medal now.

Eat your hearts out China and the United States. The Czech Republic is leading the gold medal race. At least for now, anyways.

The Czech’s first gold medal in this Olympics is courtesy of shooter Katerina Emmons. Blahopřejeme!
