Women of The Olympics

Top seed Tian Jia and Wang Jie made short work of Austria 21-12 21-12 in the morning and were later joined by Xue Chen and Zhang Xi, who stormed past the United States 21-17, 21-13. The two Chinese Olympic Women’s beach volleyball teams will now meet in the semi final though how they managed to defeat Larissa Franca (below) from Brazil with an ass like that is beyond me.

Yes we knew that already. Is that hotness enough to make up for her mistakes in Beijing? Hell yes it is! Winning and losing is a team effort. Everyone on the team screwed up. Ya win some , ya lose some.

Alicia Sacramone will likely still be a hot and very successful fashion designer long after everyone has forgotten about Beijing 2008. Alicia Sacramone is hot and will still be hot even after all the Chinese Women’s Gymnastics team actually turn sixteen, the minimum age to compete, which should be just in time for London in 2012, by which time they will have churned out a new set of twelve year olds pretending to be sixteen so who gives a crap anyhow.

Let me remind you what Women’s Gymnastics is really about. Camel toe! (or is that cameltoe ?) Yes gymnast camel toe is what 99% of the viewing audience is interested in. Not perfect tens, not China cheating, not patriotism, not admiration for gymnasts putting up with years of abuse from coaches (much respect to Dominique Moceaneau for having the courage to speak up on this issue!) and the prospect of chronic orthopedic injuries and later arthritis in pretty much every joint in your body but…. yes camel toes … it’s all about the toe!

BEIJING (Reuters) - Olympic swimming champion Amanda Beard, who appeared naked in Playboy magazine in 2007, is to appear naked in an advertising campaign protesting against fashion furs that will be launched at the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Wednesday.

The campaign is on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said the  U.S. swimmer Amanda Beard would attend the launch, that features photos of her naked, in front of the Water Cube swimming venue, two days before the Games open.

“Seeing animals slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I’m definitely against wearing fur … I’d much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body,” PETA quoted Amanda Beard as saying. Past celebs to bare it all include Alicia Silverstone, Christina Applegate, Christy Turlington, Kim Basinger and Pamela Anderson.

The 26-year-old came to prominence at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when as a 14-year-old she took her teddy bear with her on to the victory podium.

She won gold in the 200m breaststroke at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and, billed as one of the world’s sexiest athletes, has also appeared in Sports Illustrated and FHM magazines.
