Britta Heidemann: Naked and Victorious
Pardon me if I keep putting up photos of naked Olympians and Olympic hotties. I do it because most of you are asking for it and also because Olympians themselves wouldn’t mind getting naked for the sake of “art”. Like Germany’s fencing gold medalist Britta Heidemann for instance:
Anyways, there’s really nothing wrong with nakedness, is there? Clothes were invented by sweat shop capitalists like Nike who are now making tons of money because they totally convinced us that nakedness is unacceptable. Damn these capitalists. And they’re exploiting the children of Southeast Asia too.
Anyways, congratulations to Britta for winning a gold medal in Beijing.

Germany’s Benjamin Kliebrink Bags Gold, Bites Medal
Emo-haired German fencer Benjamin Kliebrink won a gold medal for himself and for Germany and, following the good old tradition of Olympic medal-biting, promptly bit the medal. Kliebrink beat Japanese Ota Yuki for the gold, in case you are wondering.
Here’s Benjamim celebrating his victory. I must say that the photographer deserves a medal of his own for shooting a picture that resembles a baroque painting by Caravaggio.

How to Train Like Olympic Gold Medalist Natalie Coughlin
Do you want to have a body like Natalie Coughlin’s? Then follow her training regiment [via fitness magazine]:
1. Two hours in the pool twice a day
2. Run with your dog for 45 minutes to an hour every day
3. Lift lift weights two or three times a week.
4. Do Pilates every day
5. See a private instructor two times a week
After six months of doing the above [the dog and the private instructor are optional], you will have a body like Natalie’s. If you are a woman, that is. If you are a man, you will have a body like all the male Olympic swimmers you see on TV.
Anyways, Natalie won a gold medal for the women’s 100m backstroke, the United States’ seventh gold medal in swimming.

Aaron Peirsol: "Famouser" Than Phelps in Teh Internets?
Man, American gold medalist Aaron Peirsol (100 meters backstroke) is internet-famous. He is the first Olympian I googled who’s got at least three fansites dedicated to him: Aaron Peirsol Online, APO News, and Aaron Peirsol from which I took the image below.
What about Michael Phelps? He’s got his official site and only one fansite. Hah! Take that, Michael. You may have more medals but Aaron appears to have more dedicated fans.
