World’s fastest 50 meters freestyle swimmer Cesar Augusto Cielo Filho is Brazil’s favorite son and this blog’s favoritest crying Olympian. So even though I posted about his awesome crying earlier, here’s other awesome pictures of him.

Update: Youtube deleted the previous video but this new one should work.
August 16th, 2008 — Canada, Wrestling
Here’s Carol Huynh’s gold medal bout for you “Carol-crazy” Canadians. The quality of the video leaves something to be desired but it’s the only one currently available at Youtube. I’m sure some good soul will upload a better video later. For the time being, enjoy this video and send a thank you message to Carol.

Our Canadian friends who’ve been gnashing their teeth because they’ve been medal-less for days will, I think, gnash their teeth no more. Canada now has three medals one of which is a gold medal courtesy of wrestler Carol Huynh who’s being carried above by her coach and some other guy 
Ah, the sweet tears of victory. Congratulations to you, Carol.
August 16th, 2008 — Shooting, Ukraine
Oleksandr Petriv embodies the motto that goes, “A man should be part of his flag.” Anyways, Oleksandr won the gold medal in the men’s 25 meter rapid fire pistol bringing the Ukraine’s gold medal tally to four.

The unfortunate rivals of Michael Phelps might want to pick some tips from this video on how they can beat the merman. Brought to you by Jon Stewart.

Isn’t it interesting that almost half of the gold medal harvest of the United States is produced (or co-produced) by Michael Phelps? Here’s the merman celebrating after winning his seventh gold medal in the men’s 100 meters butterfly.

August 16th, 2008 — Swimming, Zimbabwe
Kudos to Kirsty Coventry for coming up with a nice description for her gold medal in the 200 meters backstroke, i.e., a “cherry on top”.
Would it be safe to assume that some children in her native Zimbabwe will be named “Cherry” or, the more interesting, “Cherryontop” to honor Kirsty’s victory? After all, when she won three medals in Athens 2004, many Zimbabwean babies were named “Kirsty”, “Coventry”, “Goldmedal”, and “Threemedals”.
August 16th, 2008 — Brazil
Finally, another crying Olympian. Cesar Filho Cielo joins our list of crying Olympians which, so far, includes judo gold medalist Choi Minho of South Korea. Cry, baby, cry. You certainly earned the right to.
