I've been watching the Olympics

Luckily, I have TiVo and can fast forward through the stupid stuff.

Here's something that dawned on me (besides the fact that the US mens's speedskating team members are HOT)...why is it that most athletes competing in the olympics are considered at the height of their athletic ability at SEVENTEEN. Or even TWENTY-ONE. You know what? That's messed up. Their bodies haven't even finished GROWING.

Something else that dawned on me..why is it that a male figure skater from France, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, Belgium etc are all the epitome of masculinity but when their U.S. counterparts come out, they are so NOT masculine? Hi. Johnny Weir? A photo caption on NBC Olympics is: Johnny Weir, the diva arriving at the rink, "Weir makes like Jessica Simpson and flashes his Louis Vuitton bag." And the euro guys are all 'Grrrrr. I am skater! Ole!"
