Thorpedo. No kidding.

OK, no real news about Mike today, so can we talk about chubby Ian 'no-one-can-win-8-gold-medals' Thorpe?
(Say yes!)

What if (God forbid) MP does the same to his divine body one day? *shudder*

Eh, he prolly will. He doesn't seem like the type of person to get the chiseled look for vanity reasons, but more for athletic reasons. He said in a video once that he's not a huge fan of the gym, and I remember reading a special edition Sports Illustrated mag where he answered a reporter's question of what he plans to do after competetive swimming and answers, "I'm gonna sit on a beach(or was it couch?) somewhere, gain a lot of weight and not even care." Trufax. So he prolly might look like that in the future.

I read that too...
*is scared*

He might be this fat in 20 years, but unless he tries really hard, he won't be this big in just a few short years after he retires. You're not taking into consideration that Thorpe at his competition weight and physique had noticeably more body fat than all the other elite swimmers. As a child, he was quite chubby. Compare that to MP. He was a stick. There's just a huge difference in their metabolisms. Thorpe is going to fight weight gain for the rest of his life. Phelps won't have the same strugge.

I thought Thorpee was doing paintings...
BTW, the dyed-blond guy on the left next to him (cropped off the pic) is pretty hot!

b_poindexter January 29 2009, 23:05:42 UTC

Yeah...almost too hot, if you hear me.

meganrenee323 January 29 2009, 23:09:18 UTC

This is true... ;)

You just *barely* skimmed this as being okay in an MP community with the mention of Daddy's weight years after he retires...I'll okay it, but it's getting tagged as OT.

LOL

Phelps looked damn good at that Omega event...

No comment on Thorpe. :P

b_poindexter January 29 2009, 23:30:11 UTC

I don't know wtf was wrong with Thorpe in Beijing. I watched his interview on Eurosport and his face was red like a lobster. Bob Bowman's too, for that matter.

meowbunnymeow January 29 2009, 23:33:31 UTC

Not used to the hot and humid weather + pollution?
