She just did a stir-fry cooking demo on TV. Hmm, she cooks too?!

[tangent] So often the commentators are former athletes but not in the case of Jenna Wolfe. Too bad she doesn’t qualify for a medal here…I’ll put her in the “demonstration” category and maybe we can add an announcers for the 2012 games.

Here she is, doing a story on pizza:

And here she is…check out those gams!

Gold medalist and world record holder, Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva.

Pole vaulters seem to be a good breed.

She is mighty fine.

Mexican diver Paola Espinosa is another one that looks good when she’s not practicing: Link and Link.

Oh, she’s gorgeous…and seems like a real sweetheart!

She’s the one I came in to mention, but I didn’t know her name. Isn’t she gorgeous?

In the linked, picture, her top has “BRA” written on it, which immediately made me wonder if she really needed it labelled (or if she bought it at the no-frills store).

It was only afterward that I realized it’s the olympic country code for Brazil, under whose flag those letters appear.

I don’t know who the Canadian trampoline blonde is, but I want to bounce up and down with her.

Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.

The young lady who beat her was cute too, don’t remember her name. Maybe Russian.

Then there’s the Swedish Crossbow Champion*. Hi!

*Oops, not an actual Olympian. Ah well…

You have good taste, my friend. That’s who I came here to post. She had a rough day today.

Ladies and Gentleman, kari Traa. She’s an olympic freestyle skier and a darn good one. When you’re not at work, do a little searching, there are good pics out there.

Strategic blurring notwithstanding, I would definitely characterize this as NSFW. :mad:

I’ll admit I’ve always had a soft spot for Summer Sanders.

NBC did a puff piece on her a night or two ago - showed her in a fairly modest but also snug dress - she looked great!

Brian

I looked around on line…there’s some debate about whether that’s a photoshopped series or not. I couldn’t find a DOB on her…hope she’s at least old enough. Agree that it’s NSFW. Wonder if a mod could edit the post.

Leryn Franco, anyone?

Yow…very nice. Very, very nice.

Yes, you’re right. That was a bad call on my part. Sorry, I forgot not everyone Dopes from home like I do. Many apoligies :frowning:

Lolo Jones, US hurdler, is quite beautiful. She reminds me a little of Rashida Jones (no relation).

How has nobody mentioned **Nastia Liukin ** yet? She has a stunning and graceful beauty that she clearly got from her mom.
