The Greeks gave us Democrats. The Romans gave us Civilization.

No, Andrew Jackson gave us Democrats, and Sid Meier gave us Civilization.

The female gymnasts might be of interest.

A little pre-pubescent for my taste...

The "women's on even parallel bar" gymnastics event would certainly be more interesting.

Actually, sports illustrated did a photo shoot of a US gymnast doing various evens in the nude back in the early-70s. They used a very fuzzy out of focus lens. Can't remember who the gymnast was but she did win a gold, that I remember.

BTW, I think it's the un-even parallel bar.
