Does anyone else find the Olympics remarkably anticlimactic? Besides the futbol, there is very little that will hold the attention span for more than a few minutes at a time. Don't get me wrong, those Olympians are extremely human interesting, but I just don't care about these sports.
In an attempt to resurrect some of that unbridled enthusiasm that used to exist in like 1988, I tried to come up with something to make it a little more fun. We can't replace the excitement of actually thinking it was possible to win that Monopoly knock off game at McDonald's, but we can pick some awesome athletes to get behind to make things more fun. Normally, when there is a crappy sporting event that I know I can't avoid, I just gamble, but gambling on the Olympics is too pathetic for words. Plus, something tells me that picking a winner for the biathlon is harder than it seems.
Anyway, Nastia Liukin is the lucky athlete, which was initially chosen based solely on a sweet name. Immediately, it is apparent that Nastia is a perfect choice and goes much deeper. Plus, let's face it; women's gymnastics is really the best Olympic sport.
First of all, she has a slammin' theme song called Super Girl. Check out some of these zingers. I can't wait until they make the medal montage when she wins. "I'm the perfect disaster, moving faster and faster, you can't stop me. I'm Super Girl! I'm everywhere. I'm flashing Lights, they stop and stare."
Glamour Magazine also nominated Nastia for one of the 11 greatest bodies in the world. Frankly, that makes me a little uncomfortable, because she was born in 1989.
AT&T included Nastia in a remarkably misguided marketing effort, whereby they developed an Olympic themed NASCAR vehicle featuring Nastia and Michael Phelps. I'm sure the Chinese are gonna eat that up, right??
She is a Longines Sports Ambassador of Elegance, whatever that is.
Her real name is Анастасия "Настя" Валерьевна Люкина.
