I think I must have seen my honey-of-the-month, the heart-meltingly pretty Swedish high jumper Emma Green, for all of about 4 or 5 seconds last night. She missed her jump (at 1.99m, I think it was), and that was it.
However, I wasn't too distraught because I'd already been smitten with another - Jonna Tilgner, who ran the first leg of the 4 x 400m for Germany. OK, so she did run - by some margin - the slowest lap of any of the 32 competitors in this final. But she's really more of a hurdler, you know. And she is way CUTE.
Hmm, perhaps this in-action shot doesn't quite do her justice. How about this one? Cute, cute, cute.
Sorry, Emma, I could barely stay faithful to you for 3 weeks. Men are such fickle creatures. I will try to curb my wandering eye from now on. Perhaps it will be easier now that the Olympics are over.

My friend DD teases me that "I have a thing for blondes".
Actually, the reverse is generally true. I am largely immune to them. But there must always be exceptions to every rule....
Thank God it is all over. Now we can get back to real sports!
I thought you liked baseball and basketball?
I found the Men's Volleyball Final a compellingly close-fought contest, although it did go on rather.
I like the athletics. Most of the rest of it is either dull or silly or both.
Damn, there have been some fine-looking women taking part, though. Mostly in the athletics.
I do. But I despise them in the Olympics. I don't like national sports competitions generally - cricket being the prime exception, football too, though less so.
Generally I like watching a sport played to its highest level. Cricket (and rugby I guess, though that is pants) is best at international level. Football is best at a club level, though international is pretty good. Basketball is best at the NBA level - the mismatch at the international level is ridiculous, though I hear the final was rather good. Also the rules don't make for a good game to watch.
I also get so turned off by the crass nationalism involved.
