Well, I did lump some of the different aspects of Ivan Ukhov together, in one of the more memorable events from this installment of the Olympics.
Ivan Ukhov is seen below, the long-haired Russian guy holding the gold medal he won in High Jump. Up until then, he was best known as the "Drunk Guy", a Youtube star now for a 2008 match he showed up at hammered. He had just had a huge fight with his girlfriend and had missed the Olympics and was disconsolate, so he did what anyone in that state would do: get drunk. Then he went out and competed". That 2008 footage is pretty amusing.
Ukhov fared better in 2012, and made the Olympics, and apparently after every event, he would take off his singlet--his little Russian-branded tank-top. At one point, he lost it. He lost his shirt, literally. He couldn't find it, and started to panic.
He was told he could pin his number to a t-shirt, and that he better do it fast because he needed to go do his next jump, which was coming up fast.
He ended up finding his singlet, jumping again, and winning the gold.
Now, in that picture above, you see five guys, which is weird in itself. Here's a link to an article about those four other guys, one of which posed nude for a gay magazine. Guess who?
