04/16/2005 Entry: "Pig Olympics photos released."

More Pig Olympics photos released. Okay, I take back my previous statement. This is definitely a lot weirder than what goes on at most state fairs. From the looks of the photos it looks like their owners did a good job traning them. Perhaps next year China will have an international Pig Olympics.

Mao's Moo Shu takes the lead!

Short write-up here:

"These lovely pigs are of a special species that is good at sports by nature," she said. "They started receiving training soon after they were born and became professional athletes one year later."

Tan yizhou, an 8-year-old who hung the gold medal onto one of the champion porkers, said he would no longer take it for granted that all pigs are stupid and lazy.
"It's incredible. I never thought that a pig could be so clever, dexterous and versatile," he said. The games will run through May.
