A Lighter Side to the Olympics

Israel blogger “What War Zone” put togther a great wrap up to the Olympics featuring Israel and the Middle East.

Highlights include:

50 meter pistol
Israeli sharpshooter Moran Guf-Tov was heavily favored to bring home the
gold but was forced to forfeit when she showed up 45 minutes late. When asked by
the media to explain her unfortunate tardiness, Guf-Tov responded, “Maaah,
nu?”

Shotput
Competing for the first time, Palestine shotput throwers swept this event,
recording the three highest scores. However, Ahmed Ahalan, favored to break the
world record, was disqualified for throwing the shotput at the judges while
using a fan as a human shield.
