Last Place at the Olympics
Sports Buzz A blog tells the story behind all the athletes who placed last in various events at the Olympics. Sometimes, the losers are so much more interesting than the winners. This is, of course, coming from someone who’s kind of a loser.

Michael Phelps Vs. The Golden Girls
TV Buzz The gold medalist has delivered NBC with some huge ratings, but he’s yet to trump The Golden Girls, which continues to hold the record for Saturday night numbers. People might like watching Michael Phelps in a Speedo, but nothing beats Bea Arthur in a mauve pleather pantsuit. There’s just no contest.

Henry Cejudo
Sports Buzz Young wrestler Henry Cejudo, the son of unauthorized migrants, has just won the gold for the U.S. American nativists want him deported. Thanks to the Olympics, I’m having an epiphany that there are a lot of really racist people in the world.

Ara Abrahamian

Yang Peiyi
Sports Buzz She’s the voice behind the patriotic anthem sung at the Opening Ceremony, performed by a cuter, more TV-friendly lip-syncer named Lin Miaoke. People are up in arms about this, but it’s not news that the world is a superficial place. Hasn’t anybody ever seen that movie The Truth About Cats and Dogs???

Underage Gymnasts
Sports Buzz The Chinese are suspected of fielding underage gymnasts, who are typically lighter and more audacious, to compete in the Olympics. Underage workers, they’re not just in sweatshops!

Cullen Jones
Sports Buzz The olympic gold medalist and world record-holder has positioned himself as an advocate and ambassador of swimming for reluctant black children. He’s only the third African-American swimmer to make the U.S. Olympic squad. So far, it seems like the sport of swimming manages to attract a lot of atypical, anomalous athletes (see also: Natalie du Toit, Dara Torres, and Laure Manaudou).
