The 100k Condom Handout: What Happens in the Olympic Village Stays in the Olympic Village
Olympics August 13th. 2008, 9:00am
We pondered a photo of gorgeous gymnast Alicia Sacramone here – head up, kid; a silver is better than nothing – but an eagle-eyed reader saw this photo of LeBron and we couldn’t pass on it. Did you hear Olympic officials handed out 100,000 condoms at Olympic Village?
According to Steady Burn, the original plan called for 250,000, but protesters caused that number to be scaled back to 100,000.
BEIJING — The Sydney Olympics ran out. Athens doubled the number. So organisers of the Beijing Games are hoping 100,000 condoms will satisfy the needs of Olympic athletes.
Michael Phelps should get a dozen for every gold medal, just to be on the safe side. Olympic odds and ends:
- How to watch the Olympics LIVE on the web, even if NBC doesn’t want you to!
- Those Bela Karolyi comments about underage Chinese gymnasts, in case you missed them.
- Poor volleyball player lost her wedding ring.
- Not Olympics, but this has to be fake, right?

Way to show restraint, TBL. That girl is like 19 years old.

/the Sacramone girl ….
August 13th, 2008 at 9:05 am
@mike NYC- actually 20.
priceless pic of Lebron

D-Ho would have already been calling her his future baby mama.

How many condoms do you think the Chinese female gymnasts got?
August 13th, 2008 at 9:08 am
The comments on the Dallas Morning News link are ridiculous. If those were grown men who were cheering for the Chinese to fall, and genuinely pissed that Sacramone did fall…well that’s just pathetic.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:09 am
China has a bad AIDS epidemic,very good call…and I feel Lebron on that.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Go read the comments in the Sacramone link. Incredible.
An excerpt:
You have single-handedly brought disgrace and dishonor to this country. You should be ashamed of yourself, as this country is ashamed of your performance and regrets selecting you to represent us on the world stage.August 13th, 2008 at 9:11 am
@bottomless chips- i was thinking the same thing. They were calling this girl a disgrace to our country. Tim Cowlishaw would not be happy with those comments

HA! thats funny but seriously I bet they had to choose between gymnastics or a Sex slave.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:11 am
what, calling a 20 year old gorgeous is no longer acceptable?
August 13th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Another one, even better:

do you really put any stock in what people from texas have to say?

August 13th, 2008 at 9:14 am
I’m clicking “report as objectionable” on every fucking comment. What a bunch of assholes.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:14 am
don’t listen to these bitter old guys. it’s acceptable to call an 18 year old gorgeous; 20 year olds are already worn out.

If i had to rate that girls ass, i would give it a 9.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:18 am
August 13th, 2008 at 9:21 am
I just want to spank that ass. Not in a dirty way, though. Like, in a playful manner. But dirtily.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:21 am
irish – This year you have to rate the ass on difficulty and then execution.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:23 am
great ass! any idea whos ass it is? Is she on the swim team, I see other swim team members in those photos. I just like typing the word ass.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Ha – she is cute. I’m just saying, nice job staying away from posting (suggestive) pictures of her.
You’re better than Ufford, I think.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:26 am
As for the gymnast – Ivy League, olympic gymnast, and beautiful. It’s obvious why people are trashing her.

August 13th, 2008 at 9:27 am
i am with you on this TBL. I was relieved when they put up the graphic that she was 20, because I could not keep my eyes off her.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Be careful when putting too much stock in a gymnast’s alleged age… if she’s Chinese, she may be 12!

bela karolyi’s wife is the hottest one of the bunch…
August 13th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Seriously though, it’s kinda beat up that in a centerpiece sport for the Olympics, it’s more beneficial to be 12 than 16…
August 13th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Orlando Hernandez’s grandchildren beg to differ.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:35 am
That Sacramone girl is damn cute. I would love to console her in a very special way.
If those Chinese girls are 16, then I’m 90.

I wonder how many condoms LeBron is thinking about using on her.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:41 am

You know hes gonna hit it…Shit, he might not even use a condom.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Yo–my friend and I have been talking about it a lot lately… those Redeem Teamers are mowin through females over there…it’s probably like a game to them…. the stories would be amazing.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:46 am
USA Hoops team doesnt stay in the Village, so they likely had to bring thier own condoms.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Sacremone was a tough girl last night. I fully expected her to cry a lot and I’d have to change the channel, but she showed tremendous grit and composure. You could see her pain on her face. Sad, but that’s competition. The fact that she wasn’t crying like a little girl has me respecting her a whole lot more.

and that Bella fella should have his own tv show
August 13th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Can you imagine how bad it would be if multi-millionaires stayed among the regular folk? bedlam, indeed.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:50 am
@nwilson- You watch the game last night?
August 13th, 2008 at 9:51 am
I caught the 3rd through 5th I think. I knew we were doomed after that Swisher bomb. the olympics had me hooked. Looks like Vasquez righted the ship last night. Our dissmal offense will do that to a guy.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Wait, basketball players use condoms? News to me.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Maybe they had vouchers they had to redeem at the village 7-11. that is probably it.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:54 am
I bet Kobe isn’t mowing through anything over there, unless he’s got another $4 million laying around to go jewelry shopping.
As for the other guys, you know they’re putting a hurtin’ on that condom supply.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:54 am

Didnt you watch Captain Kangaroo?
August 13th, 2008 at 9:54 am
It’s almost as odd as when CRM spots you when you on the bench.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:00 am
I can see Melo, Bron, CP3, D-Wade getting the most action. With D-Ho and Kidd right on their tails.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Looks like Vasquez righted the ship last night.
Don’t worry; he’ll be back to sinking it in 4 days.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Dr. C you sound like a weathered Royals fan. Welcome to the misery of knowing one good performance is just 4 days away from disaster.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Phelps’ diet.
That is one hungry guy.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Vazquez is 124-123 lifetime..he always evens out.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Sacramone is definitely cute, a gymnast that actually has boobs, imagine that. Only downside is she has no neck, but I could look past that.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:14 am
What a coincidence, that’s Casey Hampton’s diet too. Minus the swimming 150 laps a day.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:15 am
@Diesel: She can play with my Sac-ramone anyday and twice on Sunday.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:16 am
I know he needs that many calories, but how can someone physically eat that much? I eat a serving (2oz) of pasta w/sauce and a side of veggies and I feel like I’m going to burst.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Who does that ass belong to?

or i should say soon it will be belonging to lebron
August 13th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Sacramone looks good in competition, but less good in regular life, though I’m not complaining.
And Bela Karolyi is the man—I love his backhanded compliments about the Chinese—they won it fairly on the floor, even though they’re all underage cheaters.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I don’t know, she looks pretty good in that bottom picture.

“I know he needs that many calories, but how can someone physically eat that much? I eat a serving (2oz) of pasta w/sauce and a side of veggies and I feel like I’m going to burst.”
As a former swimmer, I can tell you that for some reason, swimming is an activity that causes one be very, very hungry. More than any other exercise Ive particpated in. I could easily down that much that after a 3 hour practice.

I, too, thought Alicia Sacramone was attractive. And I can get away with it because I’m not much older than her! Ha! She’ll be 21 in December, too.
Also, have you guys seen Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice?

AAAAAyup!
August 13th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I think you had to be blind if you didn’t think Alicia Sacromone was very attractive!
I was sitting there watching the olympics with my mom, and she was feeling sorry for her and saying that she shouldn’t feel so bad cus they are still getting second because she is such a pretty girl. lol
I think Natalie Coughlin is very cute also.
No Olympian will take my heart again like Dominique Moceanu did though back in the 96 Olympics when I was 13 years old just like her!
August 13th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
‘and’ because she is such a pretty girl…
