Speedskating: American Cheek wins 500m in style
Torino - Looks like we have our first great name of this year’s Olympics. Other recent great names include David Takkenbatginer (HUN ‘98), Long Bong (CHN ‘94), and Spüge Fünkkispünk (FIN ‘02). Here’s to hoping more athletes with ridiculous names compete this year as we get deeper into the games.
Brazilian luger realizes he’s never luged before
Cesana Pariol - After crashing over 30 times on his way down the luge track, Brazilian luger Armando Belinho told the media that he would never go near ice again, and vows to make sure no Brazilian ever competes in the Winter Olympics again. “I can’t believe no one warned me how hard this would be. The feeling in my legs keeps coming and going,” he said.

| Sorry that it took so long for my first report. I was in a stupor the last few days. I went out with Bode Miller on opening night, and just now woke up. After Bode ordered me a “Miller” at the bar (later I found out it’s not the beer), I went downhill faster than he did. Pretty sure it contains snake venom. |
Don’t forget Ildar Fatchullin (rusian ski jumper) for olympic name. If not a medalist, he’s certainly top-ten!
