Tough luck, Gabby Douglas, Henrik Rummel's penis is the new sweetheart of the 2012 Olympics. Rummel burst into internet fame over the last 48 hours since photos of his large-but-not-giant non-boner stole the spotlight from him and his three teammates during their medal ceremony Saturday afternoon. (Rummel's penis was not awarded a medal, even though it is a comparable size to most coxswain.)

To the settle the matter of the Olympic boner that wasn't: First, American rower Henrik Rummel was celebrated for appearing to have a "giant boner" after he won the bronze. Then, on Reddit, he demurred, claiming that the sculpted outline visible through his rower's shorts was actually his flaccid, unerect member. This revelation prompted some august personages—including former Gawker editor Choire Sicha and current Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio—to pronounce Rummel's cock really big, if that's what it looks like during the off-season. This is hogwash. Here's proof that Rummel's cock is just a regular old cock.

Henrik Rummel, the U.S. rower who appeared to be sporting a boner while receiving his bronze medal yesterday, claims that his penis was flaccid during the medal ceremony. Rummel spoke out on the internet's chief boner website, Reddit, which he has previously used to discuss Game of Thrones:

Here's a picture of American rower Henrik Rummel receiving his new bronze medal while sporting a boner. He's the second one from the left, in case you missed the giant erection. All told, U.S. rowers won two bronze medals and one gold. Below is a video of the ceremony. [UPDATE: Rummel claims he was 'not erect.']
