AMY DICKINSON: OK, picture this. The music comes up - da da da da da da da - it's "The Girl From Ipanema" - and these gorgeous, bikini-clad Brazilian women start to march around the track. But wait - it's really the Russian men's delegation...

(LAUGHTER)

DICKINSON: ...trying to sneak their way past the IOC Committee.
