The good doctor will be straight up when he tells you he has never followed the Hammer Throw, especially in the past when I imagined hairy women from the Communist Bloc as the competitors.  The lovely Italian, Silvia Salis shattered that myth in my eyes and I can watch her all day.  Now I wonder what else I can get her to throw…or at least grip hard?

The good doctor knows that there is not a requirement to be attractive to play beach volleyball…but there might be in Brazil.  Talita Rocha certainly meets the requirement, as she is an expert as showing off her “assets”.

The United States woman’s hockey team has been good for years and when you have a netminder like Hilary Knight, you already have a leg up on the competition.  The girl next door with the cereal box smile melts the hearts of this physician and many others we are sure.  The only question the good doctor has is how will be able to score into her net?

The only problem that the good doctor has with Jaqueline Carvalho is that when she plays volleyball it is predominantly indoors, and not on the beach, where her clothing choices would be more limited!  Perhaps we should more attention to the play, as Carvalho is quite the champion from Brazil!
