Lord Stanley Meets the Olympics

Last year Swedes voted her their country's top sports figure—ahead of the national hockey team.

Lifting's Latest Scandal
Weightlifters were stripped of medals at Games in 2000 (three Bulgarians) and 2004 (a Greek) for doping. Not much changes. In June, after 11 of its male and female lifters—including 2007 world champion Ivan Stoitsov (left)—tested positive for steroids, Bulgaria withdrew its weightlifting team from the Beijing Games. Greece will send a squad even though 11 of its lifters tested positive in March.

NOTE: As SI went to press many countries had not yet named their Olympic rosters.
