She proves being an Olympic babe is not all about magazine layouts and Playboy pictorials. She may be young, but she's going to be instantly famous.

Bonus: Has Baby Spice has bulked up on beer?

Reminder: Don't forget to vote for the Olympic Babe Of The Week for week 1 of the Games. You can vote once a day, and the polls close this weekend.

She's 16! I don't think that should classify as a babe of the day. Give her a couple of years and then make the announcement. On the positive side, she is a Dallas area native.

You guys know that Carly doesn't actually read these posts? The easiest way to contact her would be to send a letter to her gym:

Carly Patterson
World Olympic Gymnastics Academy
1937 Parker Road
Plano, Texas 75023

You could try asking her for her email (if you get it send it to me please) and don't forget to include a self-addressed stamped envelope or she may not reply quickly or at all.
