World record holder Stephanie Rice goes for her second gold medal of the Beijing Games tonight. She’ll be facing her usual rivals of Katie Hoff and Christy Covington. But for UncleLar the real story is the emergence of a bunch of Facebook photos of Stephanie in some great costumes.

I really don’t have any photos of Natalie where she isn’t completely clothed so she really can’t qualify for an UncleLar Nude Olympian of the Day. However, she is cute as the devil and I do have a bunch of great photos of her that would just be a waste to not use. So I’ll just toss a gallery of them in as another extra.

NBC will be covering the women’s 400m freestyle qualifying Sunday afternoon from 4-6PM EDT. Somehow I don’t think they’ll cover this story. Then agaiin, it’s just juicy enough that it might get mentioned but it sure won’t be covered like I’m about to.

Dare Torres, a 41 year old mother of a two year old, goes for a gold medal tonight as part of the United States 400M freestyle relay. This will be the fifth Olympics for the Californian who was the oldest American Olympian at the 2000 Olympic games.

American swimmer, Amanda Beard, chose the Olympic stage as the forum for the launch of a new PETA publicity campaign to draw attention to animal rights. Amanda became the latest celebrity to appear nude on a PETA poster joining the likes of actresses Eva Mendez, Christina Applegate, Alicia Silverstone, and a whole host of B-listers.

The photos of Amanda could be considered quite tame compared to many that I’ve usually used. However, I must have been prescient because since 2004 Amanda has done some spectacular photo layouts. Fortunately, she’s on the 2008 squad so you can be sure she’ll make another appearance.
