Default Official 2012 Olympics Thread

Christine Sonali Merrill

http://www.london2012.com/athlete/me...onali-1077537/

This lady looked stunning in the procession. From Sri Lanka. I said to my wife that there would be people asking about her after tonight. My wife pops onto facebook, and a couple of her friends are talking about how stunning she looked (female friends).

So I googled her, and found that she is one of those women who can look really good, and can also look not so good. Seinfeld-esque.


Good:


Not good:

Anyway, she has an interesting story:

Best of luck to her.

The US is not faring well thus far in the gold medal department. China should fade a bit. Only so many shooting medals to hand out.

they had a weird start to that race. Larsen dove in after the bell, but there had not been a "take your mark". So that probably screwed her up.
