Who could ever forget the magic of Serena William’s Crip-walking victory dance, complemented by our astutely-curated contextualizing rich media augmentation — a C-walk video from España?

And when a bronze-winning American rower brandished a boner at the medal ceremony, only Jon Stewart and POCHO Migrant Editor Al Madrigal were men enough to get to the root of the problem, a story so popular that POCHO is #1 on Google when you search for “jon stewart olympic stiffy.

Here’s a Pocho musical message to the Brazilian team on their loss to Mexico: Yo te vi, yo te vi, yo te vi llorando!

Gooooooooold! Goooooooooold! Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold! Gooooooooooold! Un Goldazo for Mexico!

While the non-violent “Black Power Salute” by U.S. medalists at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics was a defining moment in the Civil Rights movement, it is not often recognized that one of the medalists, John Carlos, was a Cuban-American pocho!
