Believe it or not, somewhere amongst all these little NYC kids is 17-year-old Olympian and "Dancing with the Stars" champ Shawn Johnson.

How old were those Chinese gymnasts again?!

If you haven't had enough of the Michael Phelps car crash, now the Baltmore PD has released an action packed drawing for your enjoyment ... complete with directional arrows!

The diagram shows Phelps' car (left) striking an Accord (right) that blew through a red light at the intersection of Calvert and Biddle Street. Both cars then struck a parked car on the side of the road, which in turn struck a fourth car parked in front of it. The Accord also struck a U.S. Postal mailbox after careening off Phelps' Cadillac Escalade.
Phelps admitted to drinking a beer about two hours before the accident, but cops ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash. The report says Phelps "did not show any signs of fatigue or alcohol use ... there was no odor of alcoholic beverage about his person."

Olympic medalist Dominique Dawes reigns supreme when it comes to giant muscular calves -- but giant muscular biceps? Girl knows that honor only belongs to one person ... Ms. Serena Williams.

The former gymnast was in D.C. yesterday to address congress about women in sports. Dom gave the speech ... but her biceps did the all talkin'.

When three time Olympic medalist in gymnastics Dominique Dawes told us she only works out "a little bit" yesterday in D.C, we think it was a little bit of an understatement.

No sleeves? No problem -- eat your heart out Michelle Obama..

Just because Team USA gymnast Nastia Liukin scored gold in the all-around event doesn't mean her publicist needs to be an all-around b*tch!
The ice queen wouldn't let her elastic client stop to sign even one autograph outside Beso last night, with the publicist shutting down everyone who got close.
The gal should probably take a lesson from Liukin's Beijing roomie, Shawn Johnson, who was relentless with the John Hancocks outside Letterman.
