I think this may be a first…. just heard a little Phantom at the Olympics!!  I couldn’t embed the video of her routine from tonight (yet), so here is US gymnast Kyla Ross’ floor routine (with the same music) from last month’s VISA Championships.

Follow the link to her Olympic floor qualifications (to the tune of a little POTO orchestration) —> http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/gymnastics/highlight-kyla-ross-qualification-floor-exercise.html

//made me smile.

Lochte’s patriotic grill — US swimmer Ryan Lochte, wearing a Stars-and-Stripes-themed dental “grill,” poses on the podium with the gold medal after winning the men’s 400m individual medley swimming event at the London 2012 Olympic Games on July 28, 2012 in London. Lochte once explained his fashion choice: “For those who don’t know what a grill is, it’s basically a retainer filled with diamonds. … I wear it when I go on the podium. It’s just a unique way of showing my personality out to everyone. [see a few of Lochte’s other celebratory grills HERE.]
