Good day, fellow Olympi-fans!! We are back at you live from London 2012! Really though, we're in Alanna's living room. Pity.
Today I will be discussing the inadvertent sexual innuendos that commentators often come up with in the heat of competition. The quote that begins this post is one of them, coming from some men doing commentary for women's weightlifting: a truly majestic and delicate sport. I'm not too sure what a snatch is in terms of weightlifting (or really why we are even watching weightlifting, other than the fact that we. are. dedicated.) but the remarks about her three snatches were my inspiration for this blog.
As you can imagine, many sexual refs come into play in the sport of volleyball. For example, there were many gems tossed out during the US women's match against South Korea. I almost said North Korea, but I've heard they get really angry if you mix them up. Or is that North Korea that gets mad for being confused for South Korea? Whatever. At one point, the rather attractive announcer let the whole world know that "Kim got stuffed".
........nice.
Of course there were various references to hitting, killing and spiking balls, all which sounded equal parts painful and hilarious.
Perhaps my favorite came in the women's breaststroke where Rowdy Gaines (the only person whose name I can remember....because it's Rowdy) commented on how good the female swimmer's breast looked. Of course, he was talking about her stroke (I hope) but he should take the time to add the word "stroke" afterwards next time, just to be on the safe side. Unless he really was talking about her boob. I mean, I don't know what he likes.
That's all for now, lads and lassies! I'll leave you with the diving Brit that just appeared on my television screen.
Ohh Tom Daley. So glad you're 18.
