Five-Ringed Circus, Day 15: US to win medal count (Damn!) and THIS is how you treat the female athletes?

Medal count, with one day of mostly team finals and the marathon to go:

USA:  44 golds (to best their 2008 total of 42) -- 102 medals (they got 110 in Beijing)
China:  38 golds (got 52 in 2008 in their home Games) -- 87 medals (100 in 2008)

Damn.

And, as if there was any more evidence that the only real purpose of women in our society is to get it out and whack it off, I submit this...

"Bodies in Motion", a supposed "tribute" to female athletes done by NBC Sports.

The title is a dead giveaway.

The music, even more so.

You might as well just get "The Stripper", and be done with it.

OK, Alyson Felix running I can get.

But the long, slo-mo pans of beach volleyball (which I basically call "Striptease Volleyball" for a very good reason!)...  I mean, I like a hot pair of legs like the next guy (so much so, in one case, that I had to go to jail over someone I cared about deeply), but come on!!

I mean, the slo-mo tennis shot might as well have been augmented by an orgasmic grunt!

#NBCFail -- Again and again and again and again....

Send your complaint letters to the IOC -- they might have two years to see if someone else might do a better job at the next Games.

In fact, it's gotten SO BAD for NBC that they've officially been told to shut up their ringside commentary for the boxing.

BY THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE.

They were the only group allowed ringside commentary access, but were disrupting the competition officials.  Once they were notified of what happened, all the US athletes had been eliminated on the men's side and the women's side was done -- so NBC just left.

And the IOC, probably bowing to American pressure because of the Jamaican sprint dominance, has decided that more drug tests will be forthcoming to the Jamaicans.

Excuse me, but I'm not sure you're going to find anything.

You might want to do a fuller research on their program -- I think it's genetic engineering.

Dick Pound, former chief of anti-doping organizations, is not happy with the Jamaican program:

""No, they are one of the groups that are hard to test, it is (hard) to get in and find them and so forth," former World Anti-Doping Agency chief Pound told Reuters Television when asked whether he was happy with the way Jamaica tested its athletes."
