Winning Gold, the American soccer chicks (and Natasha Kai) score…both on and off the field, it seems.

A slip of the tongue outed Natasha Kai. She was speaking to NBC Olympics.com when she stated that in her early career on the soccer team that she was having a hard time, “I had missed the first camp [under Sundhage] in early-January because I had bronchitis, and I was going through a nasty break-up with my girlfriend. Then [Coach Sundhage] told me my job was on the line.”

Girlfriend? Yes…our ears were perked.

She’s got 19 tattoos, her coach now describes her as “on fire,” and we couldn’t agree more. Watch the Olympics for the tattoos on her thighs…I’d describe them for you, but I think they’re better live.
