Love the name on the Brazilian soccer player. If he scores a goal,I wonder if anyone on Sports Center will say "Hulk smash puny soccer ball"?

Hulk is actually a nickname after "The Incredible Hulk". I guess people didn't want to call him by his real name so the nickname stuck.

Aslong as she doesn't on the volleyball pitch,I think that would be abit messy.

I so want to see a medal ceremony where they put the gold around Dong Dong's neck. I don't know how deep the trampoline field is, but hopefully he/she has a chance to medal.
