Linky McLinkerson: Ben and the Gals
- Members of the US wrestling team, Ben Askren, Clarissa Chun, Marcie Van Dusen, Randi Miller and Ali Bernard, were treated to a day of pampering at Tranquility Spa in New Jersey . You may notice that Ben’s hair was straightened. Let me tell you - as the owner of some seriously curly hair, like Ben, I can assure you, it is not easy to straighten hair like that.
- Two different athletes are selling shirts to help send their families to Beijing. Buy Ben’s “Put the Chin in China” shirt at Wrestling Central, and from the Hawkeye newsletter: For $20, you can get the new “Schwab. Bring on the World” t-shirt. Sizes range from Youth Medium to Adult XX Large. If you are interested in purchasing a shirt, please contact Doug’s fiancee, Allyson by e-mail at allyson-campbell@uiowa.edu.
- Kim Couture fought her first fight this past weekend, and got her jaw broken. BFD. Fighters get their jaws broken all the time. It’s not especially pretty, but it’s what she chose to do. Ben Fowlkes at Cage Potato examines why so many people were up in arms about the bloody pictures of Kim after the fight.
- Greco Roman Olympian Brad Vering has a Q&A on NBC Olympics. Apparently, Brad likes to go fishing. Funny enough, so do I! Call me, Brad!
