It's not surprising, given her age, multiple retirements from the sport, and jaw-dropping physique, that people are accusing Torres of doping. I read recently, though, that she has voluntarily submitted to very strict drug -*test*-('")ing, more than any other Olympic swimmer will be undergoing.
I guess she's only swimming in one individual race now? I heard she dropped out of the 100, and will only be doing the 50. Plus a couple of relays, I think.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present
the story that's going to produce the most soft focus features this Olympics.
While I'm sure you are correct, I find it hysterical that it's going to be a bunch of heartwarming stories...about balls.
Because I am, apparently, 12.
It's an incredible story. Also, one of my first thoughts was, "Dude! Have the surgery now and you'll be so much more hydrodynamic! Just like Lance Armstrong!"
I'll show myself out now.
On the one hand, great story, on the other hand if I was his girlfriend I would BEAT HIS ASS.
Has there ever been a popular Olympics mascot?
Are you talking about the mascot for the Atlanta games?

No Springie was a
Simpsons joke.
The mascot for the Atlanta games was
Whatizzit the Sperm.
Springy, the official mascot of the Sprinfield Olympics.

It's better than most (if not all) of the real ones.
Hell I wanted New York to get the games just to see the mascot; Pigeon, Rat, Roach, Sewer Alligator, Coney Island Whitefish...
I'm hoping Denver gets the 2018 Winter Games, but I am a bit trepidatious about what kind of mascot we would get.
