Athens 2004. It's all about sport. And watching muscled men get sweaty.

Tasty Tears

Is it just me or is it incredibly sexy when sporty men cry?

Today Britain's Matthew Pinsent took his fourth successive Olympic gold as part of the coxless fours team. No wonder the fella's emotional. I think the laurel wreath really adds to the look, I just wish they'd take my advice on the togas.

UPDATE: It's been a champagne day for Britain, with a gaggle of golds and minor metal. I can't help feeling proud of em, despite my loyalties being further south. The UK press were so quick, as always, to savage the Team GB in the first few days of competition, writing them off Worst Team Ever and trotting out the usual editorials questioning the millions of Lottery funds poured into UK sport. So Saturday has been a big finger to those scumbags. Scumbags who'll no doubt be crowing about Our Heroes in full colour liftouts in the Sunday papers.

it's not just you.

someone should tell the non-crying lads how to behave on the podium though. that half-arsed mouthing along to the national anthem with the mouth agape look is NOT attractive. get it together sporty men! if you're not going to cry, you have to make your podium stand a solid manly affair - that means you either grin, sing with gusto or keep yer mouth shut. (yeah, i'm talkin' to you michael phelps).
