yeah, I've errr, hmm.... always been a fan of the uuuhhhh Winter Olympics things....

 

[Bing]

The most corrupt Olympic games ever apparently - watched a really interesting programme about them the other night. None of these ladies were on it though... I'm off to take up curling in Russia 8)

Yeah, allegedly so corrupt that it goes against the Olympic movement, surely?

I know the athletes aren't to blame and train hard, but should they boycott it?

Obviously they aren't, just sayin'

Holy climate change batman! Those gals just might ruin the games. They'll be melting the ice & snow in short order.

 

[Bing]

At least 50% of them - skating, hockey, curling - will be nowhere near the snow, out of the mountains, in custom built arenas in Sochi itself ...in 'sub-tropical' climes. There's a good chance they'll have their bikinis on between events :lol:

 

[andysat]

Phew -I didn't even notice what sport they were taking part in!

Don't know about that but there's something about the lass in the first picture that leads me to think it's a bit nippy there...

I will be watching the curling. Avidly. Especially the shots from behind whilst they're sweeping. Women's work combined with Lycra and low temperatures. Ace

Whatever turns you on... watching a woman curl one off has never done it for me...

 

[Bing]

You think they would be able to afford to put the heating on for some of those pictures!! :roll:

Yep, I was working with a company that supplied IT and all contracts went on hold pending corruption investigations.

Better not let Mrs. Bing see your post. Or she just may commence with flogging you using said domestic caretaker implements. :chairfight:

I'll be watching the curling as well. But only for the geometry and the precise mental kinetic energy calculations involved in sliding the stone, Coupled with the friction modifying sweeping technicians (the caretakers).

speed skating is quite exciting
