The Beijing Olympi-chicks

I watched Bolt breaks another world record on Wednesday. This time it was the 200m sprint. He didn’t slow down at the last 10m, he didn’t thump his chest celebrating near the finish line, like he did in the 100m, but it was just as impressive. The record previously held by Michael Johnson was deemed by many as unbreakable. And he is only 22. That man can’t possibly be human! I just hope he won’t get caught using drugs. I really, really hope so.

But enough about him. So many people have been singing his praise so lets not do that now. Frankly I’m tired of hearing Bolt this, Bolt that. And also Phelps this, Phelps that. Why am I tired of those? It’s not because they don’t deserve it, they do. However, there are others who I think are more deserving to be talked about. Who you might ask? Well here they are!

Allison Stokke* - Pole Vaulting

Ezinne Okparaebo - 100m sprinter

Christina Vukicevic - 100-meter hurdle

Ida Marcussen - heptathlon

Alicia Sacramone - American Gymnast

Lolo Jones - 100-meter hurdle

For me, these girls deserve a diamond medal each, especially Allison Stokke. She can't lose with a pose like that!

How did they do in their respective events?

WHO CARES!!!


* Allison Stokke doesn’t even have to qualify for the Olympic to win the diamond medal!
