The hard truth of the Olympics

Harvard-educated and an Olympic rower. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he was part of the crew that won the bronze medal in the not-at-all accurately titled "coxless four" event.  Rummel's clothes didn't fall apart or allow something inappropriate to sneak out. Rather, his wardrobe was so, so tight that it left absolutely nothing to the imagination. This is to say that when the team accepted its medals and held Old Glory aloft, the only thing people were looking at was Rummel's shorts (second from left.) And, well, he seemed to be very excited about competing in the Olympics. He even talked to Cosmopolitan about all the press his private part generated. "I took it kind of tongue-in-cheek and I thought it was hilarious, but my wife didn't like it. She didn't like that everyone was talking about that and not about me winning a medal at the Olympics." Fair enough.
