Nick Symmonds and Paris Hilton?

News broke over the weekend that Nick Symmonds, 800 meter Olympic hopeful and poster-boy for athletes' rights, had asked permission from Paris Hilton's father to have the hotel heiress accompany him to the U.S. Olympic Trials later this month in Eugene.

Wait...what??

The socialite/actress, known for her roles in movies such as "House of Wax" and her reality show with Nicole Richie, has probably never heard of Symmonds, let alone ever seen a track in real life, so the move came somewhat of a surprise.

This is the type of news you would expect Perez Hilton to break, not Joe Battaglia of NBCOlympics.com, but alas, the story continues. Symmonds, an "old-fashioned guy," contacted Hilton's father's staff, asking permission to date his daughter. Did he expect to hear back from her? "Without great risk you're never going to get great reward."

BUT WAIT. The follow-up story reported that Paris actually emailed Symmonds, after her friends heard about the story.

Whoever Nick Symmonds wants to date doesn't affect us, just wait until AFTER the Olympics please. You are one of the favorites, but anything can happen. Let's worry about beating the likes of World Record holder, David Rudisha.
