Whas Happened In Sports Last Night Women’s Marathon Swimming: Russia’s Larisa Ilchenko took the first gold medal in marathon swimming, an event that makes its poor competitors swim 10 kilometers, or 6.2 miles in American. She’s cute, so we’re...

So if you’re in Panama over the next couple of days and you run into this man, we’d do that thing where you cover your eyes, whistle and walk the other way. That’s because this flexing person is Alfonso...

There are a lot of stories about Olympians who fought through hardships to get to the Games, and all of them well deserved. But what if you arrived to the Games unaware there was another foe besides your boxing...

There’s only one thing besides fame-craving-football-player-shagging-chick that comes to mind when we think of Kim Kardashian: boo-tay. That’s it. There’s really nothing else. Oh, well, there’s a sex-tape of course, and her relationship with New Orleans Saints running back...
