An Olympics news story that may unify liberals and Christians:

Keep making the uniforms smaller and they get less 'sexy' as far as I'm concerned. Oddly enough, if they kept the small bikini bottoms and wore a short skirt over them, then that would make it more sexy not less.

I live close to the beach and a lot of the girls go topless and seem to be wearing not much more than dental floss. But it's quite normal and no-one takes any real notice. But if a girl gets dressed, walks across the road from the beach and a gust blows up the hem of her skirt then you have cars driving off the road and guys walking into lamposts. Go figure.

I'm with the Norweigan girls. But they play beach volleyball in Norway? Summer temps are about 15 degrees. That's the average temp for Sydney this week and we're in the winter. They should be wearing tracksuit pants and a hoody.

Maybe they have an indoor arena?

We had consistently 25 to 30 degrees in Oslo in July. The sun is up 20 hours per day, and it never really gets dark even in the middle of the night

20 hours! I'd never get to sleep.

Is this in Fahrenheit...?

This appears to be in Celsius...

All celsius. Oslo is a fair bit warmer than the average temp for Norway. And believe it or not, it's only the US, Myanmar and Liberia that still use Imperial units. Although places like the UK still use miles and pints. And, oddly enough, UK newspapers generally give you winter temps in C and summer temps in F.

Personally, even though I've used metric all my working life, if you say that someone is 150cm tall, I have to mentally convert it to feet. But if you say someone is 5 foot tall then I'll know straight away that they're quite short. And most Aussie surfers use feet for wave heights. Go figure...

If they want to have a rule requiring bikini bottoms for the women, then it's only fair they require it for the men as well.

Gross.

 

[renniks]

BTW I agree they should be free to choose to cover more as they see fit. It's an odd double standard.
