I was over on Yahoo Sports and spotted an article about a possible curse (I know, I giggled a bit too) associated with the miniseries “A Shot at Glory.” Of the eleven athletes profiled, six have had disastrous experiences at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Need examples? Here we go:

After a week of Silver Medals–in the team, the all-around competition, and the floor exercises, American gymnast, Shawn Johnson has a Gold Medal.
