    Tebow could teach her how to stumble and flail over the finish line instead of in front of it.

    Tebow could teach her the spread.

    Lolo runs the 100m hurdles in the summer olympics. Olympic track and field is kind of a big deal for sports fans.

    The hurdles would be damn fun as a winter sport, though.

    Actually Boxing and Basketball make up .076933 of total # of Summer Olympic sports, so you have room for one more.

    How did you calculate this? If you just took the number of sports, I don't think that' fair. I think comparing the time of the events and their proportion to the overall in-play time of the Olympics is a better measure.

    Apparently, when Tebow came into the lockerroom today, his teammates were all cheering "Lolo! Lolo!"

    Awesome.

    Interviewed her in Beijing, after she fell in her race. Very impressive, did not turn down a single interview after a crushing disappointment. She was near tears.

    And, yes, she is quite striking.
