Yes, we already all know about Israel's killer-frum-Olympian, Bat-tel the Taekwondian. (note, her competition starts Aug 20th)But did you know about the frum kid in Beijing who is blogging the Olympics? Yes, he wears pants. Yes, he keeps shabbat. Kosher too.

No discussion about how frum he really is? How frum can he possible be if he is not in Israel?
