Rick Mercer interviews Kyle Shewfelt, Olympic Gymnast

[hobojoe411]

Kyle shewfelt is awesome

[ekirent]

It seemed like they were flirting when they were getting the gold medal.

[gymbratz]

yo why would u say he was bi??? do u actually know him???

[theurbansoul]

I love his laugh!!

[mrflipz]

at like 2:29 does he say "i think there was booze in there at some point in time.." ??? hahah

[nippynoodles11]

what a polite young man.

[evilhippiechick]

he is also amazing in person.

[raffyrocks]

"can you do a chin-up?"

"I'm trying to do a chin-up as we speak!"

lol!

[safehaven11]

he has hair?

[HenryBoot]

Why is it that only handsome guys that set off gaydar? Have some bloody respect! Don't judge his sexuality when you don't know him personality and even if you do, it's no one's business if he's gay or straight. Grow up!

[CJ12345667788]

He's straight he has a girlfriend Named Malissa

and hes a sweet guy

[psychicran]

Lol

pretty good video

he's pretty inspiring

[dneyder]

Sets my gaydar off as well (and just because we had/have girlfriends/wives does not make us straight!) FYI as a guage of my gayday let me point out that I knew Rick Mercer was gay before he came out publicly.

By the way, to the ignorant yanks making comments out there, if Shewfelt isn't recruited by advertisers it isn't because the Canadian government is standing in their way - probably has more to do with the fact that he's not American.

[lee1512002]

This guy is awesome. Just loved him.

But Canada sucks. I mean, come on, he is the guy who won the Gold in the Olympics. how come nobody has him for the commercials?

He can be instantly rich in any other country in this world.

[flip4sib]

hi kyle!! Sabrina from oakville gymnastics!!

Saw you on the road th bejing!!

Hope your legs feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone at the gym says hi!!

[JustThatGuy42]

Okay, I know you guys pointed out he had a girlfriend, but Kyle seriously pings my gaydar. I can really see how someone could view flirting here, because even if there wasn't Kyle just seemed far more awestruck at being interviewed than most athletes are. Maybe he's just a huge Rick Mercer fan.

[grace1414]

thers nothing wrong with gay even if he is. i thik that its wrong for ppl to judge based on gay or not

[ameracad]

not only is he an amazing gymnast, he also seems like a fun, charismatic guy.

[RickMcCharles]

Kyle's (very pretty) girlfriend Melissa is a gymnastics coach, but was not a Rhythmic gymnast.

She was a stewardess with WestJet, but recently started a new job which allows her less travel.

[ApolytonGP]

USA!  USA! Oh...wait.

[merlinnerd1017]

yeah, usa wishes kyle was american =_=

[evilhippiechick]

lol sorry:P eh we all want great olympians to represent thier countries.

[looker768]

Well, anyways our Canadian government unlike America prefers to focus on more important needs with its budget like education and health care. Oh wait a minute...education and health is still not on the government's agenda. Tuition prices are still unrealistically high for many Canadians and the conservative government has made more cuts to our public health care.

[vermillionss]

yeah his girlfriends name is melissa and she's a rhythmic gymnast from what i've heard.

[flyingspiral15]

wow. they would have great sex LOL ok that was innapropiate

[looker768]

yes. yes. that would totally make for some amazing sex. omg can you imagine how they would mount and dismount? FANTASTIC!

[merlinnerd1017]

lol

[vermillionss]

i know i instantly thought of that.

[vermillionss]

amen!

[Robin0003]

OH COME ON!!!! Lets paint every male gymnast with the same brush.....last I heard Kyle has a girlfriend! There was NOOO flirtation in that video!!! And I agree Kyle is AWESOME!!!

[merlinnerd1017]

could be, but it could just be that he's bi...they constantly maintain eye contact, compare and contrast with the interview with alexandre despatie

[angelintampa]

i love kyle, he's the sex!

[ekirent]

oh there's a spark there

that's flirtation!

[merlinnerd1017]

notice how they constantly maintain eye contact =)

[sentstuff05]

That was a good interview. Do I detect flirting or is it my imagination.
