Kirsty Coventry Gets Her Cherry on Top

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”.
