Over the weekend, Olympic swimmer Matt Grevers invited his girlfriend onto the winner's stand after he won the 100-meter race at the Missouri Grand Prix, got down on one knee, and proposed. Apparently his original plan was to propose to Annie Chandler after she won her race but unfortunately, she came in 5th place. I'd say it turned out pretty okay. Read More ›

I'm not exactly sure what's going on in this video, but it seems like the Russians with black t-shirts on are mad at the Russians with white t-shirts on after one of them hops into the dolphin's pool. Stick around, because it becomes like a Marx Brothers movie once they start throwing punches. Watch Video ›
World-Class diver, Vadim Kaptur, hit his head on the 10m diving platform which ended up taking off part of his scalp. He's alive and recovering but our professional athletes really need to start being more careful. (via photoblog.msnbc.msn.com) View Image ›

Six people throw their pugs into a swimming pool. I'm not sure what surprised me more - that the pugs didn't drown, or that a decent amount of people turned up to watch. Watch Video ›

'Pool Sprint' has come up with a new way to get fit - and it involves a track along the bottom of a pool and some special shoes. Looks like it would be pretty difficult. I wouldn't really call this 'sprinting' though. Watch Video ›
World famous French free-diver Guillaume Nery free-dives Dean's Blue Hole in the Bahamas (the World's second deepest blue hole which plunges 202 meters/663 ft to the ocean floor) to make a short movie that emphasizes aesthetic images and innovative camera moves.
At the FINA World Championships in Rome, swimmer Ricky Behrens's suit split at the last minute, and he was forced to compete with his tushy in full view. He came in fourth, which - in the end - actually helped push the American team into the finals, so you might say he covered America's ass with his very own. That's taking one for the team.

But Phelps apparently keeps a girl in every port, as evidenced by the pictures of his Vegas girlfriend Caroline Pal. Read More ›
The Australian swimmer wins gold, has a golden smile. Sure, three gold medals aren’t Phelp’s eight, but Rice is poised to become a big star in her native Australia and abroad after these games. She also has a penchant for posing in revealing clothes. Read More ›
With 11 gold medals and counting, that seems to be the word on the street. All over the web and TV, people are touting Michael as the best Olympic athlete ever. With more golds then anyone in history, that seems to be a fair argument (apologies to Lewis, Spitz, and Owens), but now people are saying that he may be the greatest athlete of all time. That one requires a little more debate (and this is from someone who grew up in Baltimore). Jordan, Woods, Brown, Ali, Owens… Go Michael… make it 8 for 8, all in WR fashion! Read More ›
The Daily Mail reports on a very, very crowded swimming pool in China. Enjoy your summer, everyone! View Image ›
