Call it the downside of fame. A compilation of video clips from interviews with Ryan Lochte show the swimmer giving slow, boring, and occasionally dim-witted responses. Now it's gone viral, nearing two million views in less than a week.
You know how, sometimes, when they re-run old gold medal Olympics performances from 40 or 50 years ago, it seems like the athletes are just basically walking in a straight line and getting perfect scores? You won't feel that way when you watch Olga Korbut at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Her routine included a move that is now banned, that includes standing on the high bar... and a craZAY switch from low to high bar. Amazing!
This touching video by the folks at Proctor and Gamble reminds me how awesome the Olympics are, because of the amazing personal stories of the people involved, and how they get there. As this spot demonstrates, sometimes the backbone of an olympian is a great mom behind the scenes.
