Ivan Ukhov competed...¡drunk!

The Russian is the indoor national recordman. Ukhov competed drunk in Laussane.

IAAF have opened an investigation (although is not forbidden) and have asked Ukhov for an explanation. ¿What are they going to do? ¿Give him a penalty for having had something that doesn´t improve his performance but the opposite?

Thousands lodge complaints over Britain's 'tacky' Olympics handover ceremony

Thousands of people have savaged Britain's 'tacky' and 'embarrassing' handover from the Beijing Olympics.

London Mayor Boris Johnson came in for particular criticism, as did the version of Whole Lotta Love performed by Leona Lewis and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.

Seven million viewers tuned in to watch the closing ceremony, during which David Beckham kicked a ball into the crowd and Lewis arrived in a red London bus.

But hundreds of viewers have contacted MailOnline to voice their anger - and embarrassment - at the ceremony.

And three thousand British viewers let rip on the BBC News website and the corporation's Have Your Say online message boards.

The BBC forums were so busy moderators had to close them down to make space for new debates.

Two hundred comments on the corporation's website were censored because they were obscene.

And in a MailOnline poll, more than three-quarters of those who replied said that they had been embarrassed by Britain's handover.

By midday today, out of a total of 5200 people who had voted, 3900 people believed that the ceremony had been embarrassing rather than a source of pride.

YouTube removed Leona Lewis video (with Jimmy Page)

Are you trying to watch the song performanced by Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page in Beijing? Have you tried to look for it in YouTube? Then you have seen a message like this one:

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by a third party."

Hummmm it looks like somebody is trying to make some money. We all thought that the Olympic spirit meant something different...

Leona Lewis and Boris Johnson, two faces for London 2012

Is it me or all that thing with Leona Lewis, Jimmy Page and David Beckham was just lame and stupid? How about the dancers and the bus? After seing the shows that the Chinese have put together maybe London should quit and let somebody else hold the Olympics.

And the Mayor!!!! Oh, my!!!! If that´s the image that London want to show to the World... Leona Lewis would make a much better Mayor than Boris Johnson! Leona for Mayor!

Is Kerry Walsh cheap?

Did you see the video of volleyball star Kerri Walsh looking for her ring? In fact were the Chinese workers the one that did the job. Finally volunteer Song Zhendong found it.

And Song got his award for finding the precious gold band: a cap and an autograph... Her husband, we´re sure payed more than that for the band...

Debbie Phelps` Johnson commercial

We´ve been thrilled by Michael Phelps and his performance in Beijing. He is almost a superhero and behind every superhero there´s a mom, a supermom.

Perhaps you were annoyed by Debbie Phelps and her "performance". Everyday there showing surprise -she was the only one to be surprised-. If you didn´t have enough... get ready. She´s coming...
