I guess it takes such antics and things like Lotke’s adventure to put some focus on men’s sports at this Olympics. Coverage has made it seem as if Men’s events are kind of a warm up act for the main attraction, female sports.

2) I'll take you up on that one. We lived in Mongolia for two years and I'm fairly used to the names. If it's any consolation, they normally only go by their first name and first initial of their last name.

Wrestling has always been one of their 3 great sports, albeit a very different and simpler kind. For grins, watch this 18 second clip called the Mongolian Bird Dance. When they win, they celebrate like this. It's fun to watch and even fun to do. I've done it a few times and those with me got a kick out of this gringo doing their Bird Dance.

Is the Mongolian Bird Dance anything like The Tennessee Bird Walk?

As to #3 We do have women’s wrestling, and many of the teams have female coaches, including ours. For the most part, they have completed themselves with a little more dignity. Of course, the WWE’s members comport themselves with more dignity than that.
