You know you're screwed when the supreme intergalactic powers of President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey combined aren't enough for a successful bid to host the 2016 Olympics in Chicago.
Chicago was just eliminated from consideration for the 2016 Olympics -- in fact, it was eliminated in the first round of voting.
The winning city was Rio de Janeiro -- which, if you think about it, is awweeeesome!

Fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt slowed down just enough to get his picture taken while leaving Alto in London at 4:30 AM the other day. 
Let's hope his blood alcohol level wasn't world record breaking.

Olympians Ryan Lochte, Cullen Jones, Ricky Berens, Scott Spann, Ed Moses and another swimmer named Matthew Haupt brought their chiseled physiques to Rehab in Vegas yesterday.
Michael Phelps was supposed to show up to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool party -- but opted out after his accident last week.
Between them, these guys have almost 30 world records, 10 Olympic medals and an uncountable amount of abs.

Mary Decker was favored to win the gold medal in the 3000 meter final at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games for the USA, until she tripped on barefoot South African runner Zola Budd and fell. Guess what she looks like now!

Just because you're not Michael Phelps doesn't mean anyone can just use your image any way they want.
Olympic hero Jason Lezak -- a seven-time Olympic medalist who is most remembered for swimming the anchor leg of the 4x100 relay at the Beijing Olympic Games -- is suing Nike (and a swimming apparel website) because he claims they used his image in an ad without his permission.
According to a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Lezak does not have a deal with either of them and has never received any payment for the ad.
He is seeking unspecified damages.

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..

Stupid people who are circling Michael Phelps as if he's washed up. So, he lost the backstroke to Aaron Peirsol yesterday at the North Carolina meet. But here's the deal -- the backstroke is not his thing -- he didn't even compete in the backstroke in the Olympics.
P.S. he won the 200m freestyle and the 100m butterfly at the N.C. meet ... cynics!

It's not like Usain Bolt's feet hit the ground when he runs anyway -- but the fastest man on the planet emerged from the hospital yesterday with a pair of bandaged up feet. 
Bolt -- who lost control of his BMW yesterday after cops say he was speeding on a wet highway in Jamaica -- has been forced to drop out of a race this weekend due to his minor foot injuries.
The weird part: He injured his feet after the wreck -- when he stepped on thorns while getting out of his smashed ride.

The Jamaican sprinter who set the 100m world record at the Beijing Olympics suffered mild injuries today after crashing his BMW on a highway in his homeland.
Usain Bolt -- who ran the 100m dash in a mind-blowing 9.69 seconds last year -- and a female passenger were taken to a hospital in the Saint Catherine Parish after Bolt lost control of his car while (get this) he was allegedly speeding on a rain-slicked highway.
Officials say Bolt -- who's due to compete in a 150m race in England in a few weeks -- is undergoing tests to see if he'll be healthy enough to compete.

After getting some munchies at Rosa Mexicana in New York, swimmer/bong enthusiast Michael Phelps was asked if he was staying clean -- and he didn't exactly answer "Yes."

There are several reasons to watch this clip: 1) Jennie Finch is hot. 2) Jennie Finch, who won a gold medal in the same Olympics as Michael Phelps, guilt trips the dude over his bong scandal 3) Jennie Finch is really hot.

Being a sore sport doesn't even begin to cover this one. Cuba's Angel Matos deliberately kicked a referee in the face after the ref disqualified him in a bronze-medal match today.
Matos had been hurt during his round of fighting, and he was disqualified for taking too much time to recover. Pissed off, Matos rebounded from his injury pretty quick -- whacking the ref square in the face with his foot. The World Taekwondo Federation has recommended he be banned for life.

After years of hardcore training, veteran athletes and up-and-comers alike, all use the Olympics as a huge physical release.

The boys of the New Zealand soccer team don't get down on themselves when they lose, they just get down! 
After losing to Belgium in the first round of the Olympics 0-1, the Oly-Whites (as they're called back home) broke out the Haka -- a traditional Maori war dance teams from NZ usually perform before a match to scare the holy hell out of the other team.
No word on why they decided to bust a move after the loss, but as long as that guy keeps his shirt off -- who really cares?!
