During the Beijing Olympics, 41-year-old Dara Torres, a University of Florida alumna, captured three silver medals in swimming, bringing her career total to twelve.

Scott Barclay, the men’s gymnastics coach at Arizona State University, thinks it’s about time to cut the crap (i.e. academic spending) and refocus on what’s really important: the Olympics.

That’s faster than you can blink. That’s faster than you can read the word “fast.” And that’s faster than it takes Google to find the answer to how fast one one-hundredth of a second really is.

The opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics were amazing. -- AMAZING.
