Shawn Johnson has some crazy abs for a 16 year old. I wonder what she’ll look like when she’s 30.

SPORTS BUZZ: The “Redeem Team” took care of business today in today’s semi-final game vs. Argentina. Team USA beat the team that kept them from winning the 2004 gold. It wasn’t always pretty (a big lead was cut to six at one point), but a victory nonetheless against the most difficult challenger in the tourney. Still one more victory for their first gold in a major international tournament since 2000. They recently beat Spain by 37, so it’s lookin’ good.

A photo that demonstrates the eerie similarities between Shawn Johnson and a small cartoon rat called “Topo Gigio.” TMZ got heaps of hate mail after posting this one (including one from an official Team USA Gymnastics rep). Sooo unpatriotic of TMZ…

SPORTS BUZZ: The Paraguayan javelin thrower is dating tennis star Novak Djockovic. Time is running out to run posts about Olympic hotties, so today it’s Franco’s turn. She placed 51st in the javelin throw (it’s her second time at the Olympics) but supports her athletics career by doing swimsuit modeling on the side. That’s dedication.

SPORTS BUZZ: Each logo has a short description giving some needed context. Personal faves include 1908 London, 1964 Tokyo, and 1968 Mexico City, which totally blows my mind makes my eyes hurt at the same time.

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.
