So I was watching women's gymnastics last night. Not really being a huge Olympics guy, I've got to say it was pretty compelling. It can't get any better than USA versus China, right? Well, right up until the TV announcer said, "Our next gymnast is Oksana Chusovitina from Germany." I'm not kidding now. I literally sat there in stunned silence looking at her. I know that some of the rules in gymnastics are a joke, like allowing 10 yr old girls to compete. But since when did they allow DUDES to compete in women's gymnastics? Not just any dude, but a dead ringer for Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber!
On top of all that, she took home the silver medal in the vault. I could almost see this happening after the competition:
IOC Official: Oksana, don't put that medal in your pocket yet. You need to take a drug test.
Oksana: Oh, okay.
IOC Official: Wait a minute. Forget about the drug test. Are you sure you belong in the women's competition? The men's events are tomorrow.
Oksana: What?!?!
IOC Official: Just to be sure, take off your top.
Oksana: What?!?! [Pull up her shirt]
IOC Official: Hmm... I still can't tell... You know what, remove your pants.
Oksana: What?!?! [Off go the pants]
IOC Official: Oh my God, you've got both! I'm afraid that we have take back your medal pending a DNA test to determine your gender.
Oksana: What?!?!
