Monday Morning Meat #86 (Olympic Edition)
Yesterday hammer thrower Primož Kozmus won the first gold medal for Slovenia in 2008 Beijing Olympic games and although there is definitely too much spandex here to warrant a MMM feature, the pure gold around his neck more than makes up for that fact. Add to that the fact that Primož won the first ever Slovenian gold in athletics, and all of a sudden Primož Kozmus as this week’s Monday Morning Meat becomes a reality. Way to go, Primož!

Good choice!
Can we count on today’s silver medalist for next monday? Preferably with a tiniest possible ammount of clothes on?

Mmm, that would be greatly appreciated. Although the pictures can’t really be compared to his real life appearance.
