Tail Report: Lydia Lassila

I'm thinking I should've paid more attention to the Winter Olympics. Apparently this lovely Australian won a gold medal for her freestyle skiing in Vancouver. Although I've never seen her ski, I'd have to agree that she does have splendid form.

The upside—well, one of the upsides—to being an Olympic athlete: groupies. The Olympic village is always a hotbed of hot beds, as was reported during the 2008 games in Beijing. So should we blame Scotty Lago, who won the US a snowboarding bronze medal, for indulging in a little fun at a Vancouver bar? Of course not. He deserves all of the sloreign tail that comes his way while in the wilds of one of Canada’s largest metropolises.

The downside to being an Olympic athlete: the suits who run things tend to frown when pictures of you end up on TMZ. And they really hate it when those photos show a groupie going down on your medal at the bar. Thus, Mr. Lago is no longer in Vancouver.
