No sooner did AdMe.ru publish racy pictures of Russia's female athletes competing at Sochi wearing next to nothing, did the shots go viral online. And then came the judgment. Column inches spoke of the 'demeaning' way Russia is marketing its female Olympians. Others said the photos were controversial, adding that it brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'checking out the competition'. True, the photos are racy. True, these girls look like gorgeous pin-up models fit for a Pirelli calendar (well they are Olympic athletes; all those hours down the gym is bound to pay off). But what, really, is going on here?
Have these women been exploited – used by Russia to soften the blow of all the other bad news so far surrounding Russia and Sochi (the anti-gay sentiment, the Winter Olympic Village still looking like a construction site)? Or are they 'free' – expressing their sexual freedom and just having a bit of fun?

We have rules. Olga Zyablikova, 21, a curler. 
Her body says yes, yes, yes.
Her face says K, G, B.

I find it amusing that Yahoo (and other media outlets) has run many pro-gay articles about Sochi (Dan Wetzel finding the gay clubs, etc.) but also runs articles about how “shocking” the Russian women are behaving in their clothing choices.
