Some fun Olympic features on AOL in honor of the Games, which start Friday (08-08-08 at 8 p.m. on NBC)!
First, a pretty challenging quiz, even for the Olympics obsessed like myself.
Also, there's a "Where are they now?" photo gallery that updates us on some of the more memorable athletes of Olympics past.
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but it says diver Greg Louganis (he of the famous head smack on the board) is going to be a host/judge on an upcoming TV show called... wait for it... "So You Think You Can Dive" (:::cringe:::).
And what's Maurice Green up to these days? "Currently dates Claudia Jordan, who holds case No. 1 on NBC's 'Deal Or No Deal.' Also appeared in reality TV show 'Blind Date'."
Ouch! It really saddens me how many former greats have become involved with reality TV (Yeah, I'm talking to you, Bruce Jenner).

p.s. Thanks for the tip, Derek!

"So You Think You Can Dive" is a portion of a competition on Comedy Central called "Reality Bites Back". Each week one comedian is eliminated from a game that is a parody of a Reality Show..."So You Think You Can Dive" is a joke on "So You Think You Can Dance", and a clip I saw had one contestant going off the high dive in a wheelchair with cardboard wings as a "tribute to Amelia Earhart."
