Olympians -- The Torch is Out and Nobody's Home

Posted Sep 16th 2008 11:46AM by TMZ Staff

The Olympics attracted one of the biggest audiences ever, so it's pretty breathtaking that just weeks later the gold medalists from the American indoor volleyball team are pathetically peddling their wares outside One Sunset.

At least volleyball silver medalist Kim Glass still has her game. She left with an obviously pleased Maurice Greene.

2. Rich and the guys are just having some fun. If you knew them you would know that they are joking around and being the dorks that they are.

Great job on winning the gold!

3. Indoor volleyball? That's not a sport, it's something you do when it's snowing and you can't play a real sport in High School. Have fun while it lasts "olympians", going back to work in the stockroom of DHL is gonna suck.

8. TMZ, what's wrong with showing some pride for their great achievement? Who cares what sport it was? It was a gold medal for the US. It's only been a few weeks and we're still hearing about various other Olympians... Why not them? Damn, stop hating and show some patriotism.

9. They deserve to show off their medals. Unlike yearly TV, film or music awards the olympics come once every 4 years. Between that time athletes are working incredible hard to get their bodies into top performance. And during this time most of these people are not rich so I can bet there is a strain on their money situation. Some athletes have families and jobs and still have to train for hours every day. They should show off their medals whenever they want, because they truly deserve the attention!

10. TMZ you seem to be the only one who isn't thrilled to see some real olympic heroes. What's with all the hating on everyone?

11. Forgetting about something? This shows un-sportsman like gestures... basically they are saying SCREW you competitors, we are better...ahhhhh haaaaaa... we won't be laughing when China takes over the world...

Stop seal hunters from clubbing seals in artic... put me in the octagon ring with one of those hunters... I will mess them up bad.. If you are a person who hurts animals you dont deserve to be on this planet.

13. If I remmeber this video at one point showed Maksim from DWTS leaving a club with a wide hipped long black haired woman. Well we know Misty doesn't have big hips and usually around Maks she wears the booty shorts. So I was wondering could it have been ... Kim K.
