Little did we know, but the best gymnastics at the Olympics isn’t in the medal competition, it’s after the games in the Olympic Village.  A new article in the TimesOnline by Matthew Syed, former English table tennis champion and now Olympic commentator, describes a sexual free-for-all among athletes in the Olympic village.

"I played my first Games in Barcelona in 1992 and got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life up to that point," said Syed.  "That is to say twice, which may not sound a lot, but for a 21-year-old undergraduate with crooked teeth, it was a minor miracle."

Syed says sex was everywhere backstage.  There were "gorgeous hostesses" that assisted the athletes, "indigenous lovelies" aka groupies who came to watch the competitions, and of course there were the female athletes, "literally thousands of them - strutting, shimmying, sashaying and jogging around the village, clad in Lycra and exposing yard upon yard of shiny, toned, rippling and unimaginably exotic flesh."

It was good to hear that most athletes abstained and remained focused until after their competitions.  But because the International Olympic Committee insists on holding the swimming events at the beginning of the Games, the inevitable result is a bunch of horny sex-crazed swimmers getting it on while other athletes are still competing.  At the Sydney Olympics, Jonathan Edwards, a triple jump champion, sparked a minor controversy by asking the other athletes to tone it down.  Although Edwards was a Christian, apparently his concern was more about being awakened by squeaking beds.

I’ve really enjoyed watching the Olympics this year, which are especially amazing because they’re broadcast in high-definition and have top-notch camera work.  But now I’m beginning to think that I’ve missed the best part of the Olympics show.
