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.
