Why bother spending so much money to get imports from China to do us proud when we have our very own kids who can skip their way to Olympic Games glory?

Matthew Syed, former Olympic table tennis player and current contributor to the UK's The Times , produced an enlightening article on sex in the Olympic Village that mixes his personal experience with the vibe of these Olympic Games.

Some of the sports in the Olympics that you don't see often are really cool. ~ Team Handball - a combination of Basketball and Lacrosse. Badminton - Not your backyard lawn game. Water Polo - Something fun to do at the pool. Table Tennis - Definitely not Ping Pong. Wrestling - has nothing to do with the bogus stuff on TV, which shouldn't be call wrestling. ~ I'm not really interested in the baseball,...

Officials in table tennis's governing body, disappointed with the lackluster crowds at the Olympics (held in the country where the sport is most popular), are looking to garner more interest in the women who paddle balls so well.
