The Times also offers one of their "interactive features" with more info and more images. I'm not sure how to post a link to that feature -- maybe someone else will do it. It looks good.

Now, female athletes are showing off their bodies in nonsports magazines and making no apologies for it.

A bulemic android. Why on earth is Playboy interested in her? She couldn't make the cover of TIGER BEAT!

Gotta agree. Another 25 pounds and you'd have something to hold onto.

Nothing surprising here. The Olympics is, for all practical purposes, a giant orgy. "Men's Journal" magazine did a detailed, several-thousand-word expose last month of how it's become little more than a party for the participants, especially since 98% of them have no actual chance at winning a medal anyway. They're there to screw and drink on other peoples' dimes.
It was fascinating reading. (It was so pleasant to learn that the Olympics routinely orders tens of thousands of condoms just for the athletes' use, and usually runs out.) Sadly, "Men's Journal" has no online archives, so the best I can do is provide a link to a Sydney Morning Herald article ripping off the MJ article.

The Olympics is, for all practical purposes, a giant orgy.Yeah, it may have been the same in ancient times also. I'm just very relieved (and happy!) that the focus has shifted from the old homoerotic images to the modern images of fit women.

Yes -- thankyou for making a very good point. I agree.

As I recall, athletes are given all the condoms they want during the Olympics as a way to promote safe sex (and better international relations?). Thousands were distributed in the last winter Olympics.

True, the diminishing return thing would apply here too.
