Dark Horse Candidate: Austria

Bill Hanstock
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.

You thinking about putting money on the Olympics this year? Of course you are. If you need a dark horse or longshot pick, think about doubling down on Austria. They should be pretty solid this year considering that Arnold Schwarzenegger really let himself go during his tenure as governor of California.

This means that sweet, sweet supply of HGH will now no longer be shipped directly to Schwarzenegger’s house in Malibu, but will be distributed among the populace of his home country.

Say what you will about the man, but his new floppy manboobs are a sacrifice he is making for the good of the Austrian Olympic team. God bless you, Schwarzenegger.
