Why did I start this blog? Because there was one athlete I was hoping would be my for-real Olympic boyfriend, and I thought I'd mix in all these other hotties to seem less obsessive (although I'm sure that hasn't been the result.)
You can imagine the devastation I felt when my cellphone buzzed at 9:05 PM PST with a Breaking News text from NBC Olympics saying Liu Xiang had withdrawn from the games due to injury.
This is big news: it's as if Phelps had shown up without his Speedos, or Beckham gave up soccer and took up needlepoint on the eve of the World Cup, or Michael Jordan played baseball instead of....Anyway, a nation of 1.3 billion supporters wept:
Liu, despite the fact that your achilles heel really turned out to be your Achilles Heel, I see your many accomplishments, your good hair, your great looks, your big strong legs, and your charming Coca-Cola commercials and want you to know you are still my choice for Olympic Boyfriend of the Day. Speedy recovery.
Endorse This!
Breathe a heavy thigh of relief...
