Olympic realization of the day:
Feb. 13th, 2006 01:20 amApolo Ohno is REALLY FUCKING PRETTY.
He's also named Apolo, with one L, WTF, but mainly he's PRETTY.
One also turns up some amusing shit when google image searching him--

--[okay so technically that was from last Olympics but he stumbled this one and didn't make finals so sue me] but hey, the first image to come up he was shirtless, so I ain't complaining.
Shaun White the showboarder is also v. easy on the eyes and smexy in action (although I am kinda sad that snowboarders have those huge baggy ghetto snowsuits so we can't ogle them in spandex like the rest), and bears a disturbing resemblance to GoF Ron. Or maybe another Weasley. Maybe he's the lost Weasley brother--squib, quietly adopted out to the US, proved a brilliant showboarder. Who knows? But it amuses the shit out of me that they call him the flying tomato. Go redheads! Also go Finns! There were quite a few of them snowboarding. The commentators think that they got good at half pipe tricks because they have no mountains.
No redheaded Finns though. :/
And, yes, I only take an interest in sports once every two years (though much more in winter than in summer), why do you ask? XP

XP I know I should be wondering why he needs a "face ends here" sign patched on his chin, but somehow it just holds together to my eyes. Either that or I'm just a sucker for speed skaters--heck, I was obsessed with them as a small child.
