After the figure skating events in the Winter Olympics in, what, 1988? were finished, the medal winners did a just-for-fun exhibition for the crowd. Katarina Witt did a routine to Michael Jackson’s “Bad” while wearing a black leather jacket.

I recall saying to my boss the next day that any guy who didn’t get a rise out of that performance should hie themselves off to their urologist posthaste.

I didn’t see anything online, I was watching live. I’m sure you could find something if you searched a bit.

It may eventually turn up in [this thread](http://www.genmay.com/showthread.php?t=412424), if it isn’t there already. If not, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy the thread nonetheless. (PG-13)

Anyone else notice Walsh’s comments about May (or possibly the other way around)?

“I have so much love in my heart for her…I won’t stop until she pushes me away” The second bit is about volleyball, just to clarify.

I don’t find this picture sexy at all.

The pic doesn’t really do justice to the video. I saw it live … wish I had taped it. They were both pretty much naked and just sorta … writhing … there in the sand.

Not that I’m complaining or anything …

😕  
I thought all the excitement was about Tatiana Grigorieva, who has been known to pose nude?

Find your own dang links.

Are you _trying_ to give poor **duffer** a heart attack? 😉

Besides, sadly, Tatiana Grigorieva didn’t qualify for Athens.

I don’t know what it is about beach volleyball…

I mean, we’ve all seen [this](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040824/ids_photos_sp/r4252256605.jpg)

But then,there’s [this](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040825/ids_photos_sp/r3959969934.jpg), [this](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040821/483/olyvbb10708211424), and [this](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040820/483/olyvbb10208201308).

There’s celebrating, but Beach Volleyball Celebrating is in a class of its own. 🆒

Well, I can see that I’m going to be “up” late tonight.

You know, I _firmly_ believe that women’s atheletic competion just does _not_ get the kind of coverage it deserves by the media. However, that might be about to change. [Notice the razor stubble in this pic.](http://www.iupload.net/082004/Brazil_13.jpg) 😛
