the-50-most-beautiful-women-of-the-2008-beijing-olympics



I'm not sure I agree with the order. I'd have to go with Ana Ivanovic of Serbia (tennis) for inclusion in the top 5. She only made #29 on this list.

I think some of the photos in this article are not the most flattering.

Who are you rooting for? ... or leering at?

Good lord, there were at least 2 in the Top Ten that had no business being anywhere near it.

I almost gagged on some of those pictures (the biceps did it). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Agreed that these pics aren't the most flattering - sans the slutty American wench shot on FHM, and her hotness Maria Sharapova.

I'm boycotting the Olympics. Dirty commies and all that.
Actually, it's more to do with not having a TV and the fact that Khorkina retired, thus rendering the whole thing pointless. Once you've seen a Khorkina beam dismount, nothing else quite hits the spot.

#1 should be #10 or 20, #2 to #1.... #3 scares the bejesus out of me. no more, I can't look...

This is the second list I've seen (the other was just United States girls). Whoever ranks these chicks must be using a randomizer.

Apparently she is hotter than her. Who knew?

For some of these to make the cut, there must be a lot of ugly women athletes in the Olympics.

Some countries use a rather loose definition of 'woman' as well.

So I'm looking for a more flattering photo of number 6.

This is the best I can do.



I agree she shouldn't be in the top 50.

OK, show of hands: Does anybody actually find Amanda Beard attractive? I mean, she doesn't have to be since she isn't a model, but everybody's trying to make it out like she is and I just don't see it.

Yeah, that's what I mean by "everybody's trying to make it out like she is." Like, she's in all these men's magazines but the pictures are just…not all that nice to look at. She has kind of harsh features. Not scarily so, but enough that I don't understand what she's doing in there.

There was a girl I saw, a swimmer from the French team, who was very pretty.

I don't intend this as an insult, but many of the female Olympiads have rather libidinous appearances (broad shoulders, large feet, steely countenances) and so I do not think that would be considered hot by conventional standards.

My mistake. I was thinking that the word had a close relation to the stem libido, which can have somewhat masculine connotations when used to describe a woman, but which upon reflection is an altogether incorrect term to use. Basically I didn't want to call them "manly" and was trying to parse my words.

While you are still wrong, you do give insight into why you made that mistake

My statement should give you a hint: "I don't think that means what you think it means Kerrigan."
