Gone are the days when Russian female atheletes looked like a cross between a gorilla and Danny Devito. I think they pick them for their looks now. (Or maybe this is what they look like without all that horse testosterone.)
I think they look anorectic, you kind of wonder if their arms will fall off. but I guess that build is one way to advantage in the sports the russian women are best at, high jump pole vault, middle distance running.
BTW russians??? It was female swimmers from DDR that was famous for "the missing link"-look complete with beard.
Amir Khan only got a silver medal against a really experienced cuban, but the final was really great. I hope he doesn´t turn pro. I want to see him take a gold in the next Olympics, no doubt he will be the best in the world then.
But Kelly Holmes took two golds both the 800m and the 1500m, that impressed me, so UK got at least one goldmedal-winner. I think she deserved it too, being kind off the "eternal secondbest".
Anyway was british the queen in Athens watching the games?:-)
Our king was there, with a camcorder. :-)
