The Olympics

I've seen this video all over and I had no idea he was from Wichita Falls.

Carli Lloyd scored two goals as the United States women’s soccer team beat Japan, 2-1, to win the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics on Thursday night in London.

To help fuel his way to a record Olympic 18 gold medals,  swimmer Michael Phelps eats over 12,000 calories a day while training and competing. Presumably, Phelps doesn’t wolf down all of these calories in one sitting. Furious Pete, a competitive eater and YouTube personality, most certainly did consume over 12,000 calories in one giant meal.

The 2012 London Olympics are well underway now and it’s about that time when everyone begins to wonder to themselves, “why isn’t that me competing at Olympics?” Well unless you have been training since you where a new born your chance of making that team now are slim to none.
