Each year, apparently, BusinessWeek magazine creates a Power 100 list of the most powerful athletes in the world. Being an Olympic year, they’ve also created a sister list of the Most Powerful Olympic Athletes. And Shaun White is featured on both. He’s number four on the Olympic list checked in between a couple hockey players and on the athletes list he is all the way down at 51 between golfer Jim Furyk and New York Mets’ third baseman David Wright.
Why he’s on the list: Having dropped the “Flying Tomato” moniker, White has picked up the ability to carve his place in the national consciousness despite competing in a niche sport.
The only other real notable on the list was Ryan Sheckler who just squeaked in at 100 “now that Tony Hawk is retired.”

Shaun White has more than a few look-a-likes; some funnier than others. Now, he can add a forty-one-year-old Winnipeg, Canada woman to the list. For a while Liz Schaeffer didn’t believe it, now she playing it up.
The massage therapist has been given free drinks, had her face flashed on the big-screen TV at the China vs. Slovakia hockey game and has been asked by visiting Americans whether they can take a photo of her. . . When a friend took her picture in front of the Olympic cauldron, people in the lineup were whispering, “Shaun White! Shaun White!” . . . Her ultimate goal is to meet White and have her picture taken with him. She is thinking of offering him a massage in exchange for a snowboard lesson.
That sounds creepy enough.

After these photos of a girl kissing and biting Scotty Lago’s Olympic bronze medal surfaced on TMZ.com today, Scotty reportedly apologized to the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association and “volunteered” to go home.
In a strange twist it seems TMZ actually feels badly about this one, according to the site.
TMZ published the photo and apparently it didn’t sit well with someone. He’s a snowboarder for cryin’ out loud. They should have cut him a break.
As we tweeted earlier in the week, we’re glad Scotty was there, stoked he won the bronze, and we’re bummed he’s not still in town interacting with those “hot Russians.”

The law firm that represents Tony Hawk, Morris Yorn Barnes & Levine, has just announced that they have added three more names to their firm’s title. After adding David Krintzman, Todd Rubenstein and Alex Kohner to the title the company will now be known as Morris Yorn Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein & Kohner.
We feel badly for the receptionists. . . obviously, no one at the company is thinking of them. “Thank you for calling MYBLKRK? My black ark?”
Follow the jump for the entire release and you’ll understand much better why Tony’s contracts are always pretty buttoned up.

ASP World Champion Mick Fanning has offered Barack Obama a surf lesson if The President should visit Tweed Australia, according to a story in the Tweed Daily News.
“I’ve actually seen photos of him on the net standing up on a surfboard so there’s probably some basic knowledge there we could build on,” Fanning told the Tweed Daily News. “If he’s able to get to his feet okay I’d probably try and get him doing a couple of turns, maybe even get him working on an air-reverse or a rodeo flip.”. . . “I’d like to meet the most powerful man in the world, plus he seems like decent bloke,” he said. “It would be really interesting to get an insight into what his life is like now he’s the president. . . “I’d have so many questions for him, so hopefully there would be plenty of time between sets.”
Guess it wouldn’t be the first time an Australian tried to give a Hawai’ian some surf lessons.

Why is Kelly Slater in Monterey this week? It’s not for Ghost Trees. He is playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with other celebrities like Tom Brady, Kenny G, and Bill Murray. Not a bad way to spend the week.

Okay, we’re not going to lie. . . this whole thing is kind of weirding us out. But as Hannah says, “It’s fun to be sexy.” Guess all this sexiness will help Hannah make more money for her village in Africa.

And in the biggest news in skateboarding today, Madonna’s “22-year-old lover” Jesus Luz was reportedly seen rolling around Rio De Janeiro’s Ipanema Beach on an motorized skateboard, according to the Daily Mail.
But while big kid Luz was looking more youthful than ever in his graphic shorts and muscle-baring black vest, Madonna was looking a little puffy-faced back in London.
The British press apparently has no sympathy for 51-year-old cougars.
