Thursday Olympic Preview: Competitive hugging.
The amazing Margot put me on to the big event Thursday: The Women’s Gold Medal Match in Beach Volleyball, starring the US dream team of Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Apparently they hug. A lot.
How cute is that!? Also who in the world is named Misty May, and if your name was Misty May are you not just destined to be an amazing beach volleyball player? Loyal Pinko reader Sienna said she was on the street yesterday and someone was all “wait, her name is misty may?” and Sienna was all “that’s what i said!” and everyone was happy because the Olympics bring people together!
After the jump, some more famous hugs in sporting history.
