Did you happen to catch the end of the heptathlon at the Olympics Saturday? At the end of the last heat of the last event, the 800 meters, all the competitors from all the previous heats poured out onto the track and milled around kissing and congratulating the winner. Rita said it looked like they all really liked her; maybe if she hadn't won the event she would have been voted Miss Congeniality. But they didn't stop there. They were kissing and congratulating and hugging everybody. Quite a difference from all the chest-thumping and preening that goes on after the men's 100 meters.
Elsewhere in Olympic news, in case you didn't notice, the Belgian men's soccer team beat the Italians, who couldn't seem to score unless the Belgians gave it to them. The poor, delicate Italian boys seemed to get booboos easily, always conveniently near the goal.
