Apparently there is a player on the USA Men’s Indoor Volleyball team named Donald Suxho. One wonders if he has met Destinee Hooker?

[Ineta Radevica](http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01687/ineta-radevica_1687320i.jpg) is a Latvian long jumper, and a strikingly attractive one (enough to have posed for _Playboy_; go find that yourself).

Anyway, the first shot I found of her had no name, just the filename “inetaradevica.jpg”.  
So I immediately assumed her name must be Inetara Devica. And started (mentally) singing:

_In-e-tara-de-vica honey  
Don’t you know that I’m lovin’ you_

There’s a Jamaican hurdler named **Hansle Parchment**.
