Dreadlocked Swedish skier wants you to know Wu Tang is for the children [Video] - #MMSports

Swedish skier Henrik Harlaut seized the exposure granted by a run at Sochi to remind the world something important: Wu Tang is for the children.

The Olympics have not traditionally been a gathering of the masses that come to pay respect to the Wu-Tang Clan, but the pioneering Swede saw the camera zooming in, threw up his W, and echoed the words spoken by late rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard when he interrupted the Grammy Awards on behalf of his group in 1998.

Then, during his run, Harlaut nearly lost his pants.

Meet Michael Phelps' New Girlfriend

By almost all measures, Michael Phelps' retirement has been a smashing success.

The Olympic legend has had lots of time to work on his golf game, and he's produced some splendid results.

Phelps has also had more free time to support his favorite football team, the Baltimore Ravens. The Charm City native attended several playoff games and was celebrating with the team in the locker room after its victories in both the AFC championship game and the Super Bowl.

And, lastly but perhaps most importantly, Phelps' love life has not lost a beat.

Less than two months after he broke up with his previous model/waitress girlfriend, Phelps is now dating another gorgeous model/waitress. This time it's 22-year-old Southern California native Sarah Herndon.

Does Kurt Angle Has His Sights On 2012 Olympic Games?

TNA star Kurt Angle told WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh that he was aiming to return to the Olympic Games when they are held in 2012 in London.

"It's not just this old man trying to lash out to get publicity," Angle told WTAE. "It's about really making the team and making a point that, you know what, the 40s is not old. It's the new young."

"I feel really good at 42, and I might be making a statement that him (34 year old nephew Mark Angle) and I are going to start training for the Olympics and go after the U.S. Open, the Olympic team trials, and then the Olympics."

Angle has long talked of returning to the Olympics, where he won a gold medal in 1996 in Atlanta. In his WWF autobiography "It's True, It's True", Angle closed the book by announcing he intended to train for the 2004 Olympics. That never came to be.
