You may suppose that this is the only place where I blog. Au contraire. I have several blogs. My newest one is a vegetarian recipe blog. Last night I was checking my statistics to see what people were searching to find the blog. The most interesting one was “vegetarian Olympic athletes.” Now, my blog on recipes clearly didn’t help them answer whatever question they were trying to answer with that search, but I thought I’d see what I could dig up about vegetarian Olympic athletes, myself.
Here is a partial list of the Olympic athletes I found who are vegetarians (not necessarily in the 2006 Turin Olympics).
Surya Bonaly
Olympic figure skating champion
Andreas Cahling
Swedish champion bodybuilder, Olympic gold medallist in the ski jump
Chris Campbell
Olympic wrestling champion
Paavo Nurmi
Long-distance runner, winner of nine Olympic medals and 20 world records
Murray Rose
Swimmer, winner of many Olympic gold medals and world records
Charlene Wong Williams
Olympic champion figure skater
I’m sure there are more, even some competing in next week’s Olympics, but a partial list will have to suffice. I’m off to blog.
