The Olympics don't offer medals for frank observations. Which is too bad, really, because Norwegian skiier and would-be Bond character Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset (second from left) would have earned himself a permanent gold with his recent Tiger Woods-inspired quotes following his performance in the men's 4x10 relay.
The goodness comes via Richard Deitsch's excellent Olympic coverage at SI:
My name is Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset. I skied the second lap and I f----- up today. I think I have seen too much porn in the last 14 days. I have the room next to Petter Northhug and every day there is noise in there. So I think that is the reason I f----- up. By the way, Tiger Woods is a really good man.
Although I'm sure Woods doesn't appreciate it, at least his reference wasn't as ambiguous as Petter Northhug's, who "makes a lot of noise" apparently. Whatever the hell that means.
