Once upon a time, there was this global sporting event called the Olympics. It wasn’t really any different from any other global sporting event like the Asian games or even the Commonwealth games. One special difference between the former and the latter two is that it wasn’t geographical limited to the specified countries in that particular continent or colonial history.
No, this particular global sporting event is participated by the who’s who of the sporting world. And winning a medal is a really big thing. Another interesting aspect of the Olympiad is that I find myself hooked on the telly, watching Table Tennis or Weightlifting for 2 hours straight, fascinated by these phenoms, performing at the very top of their sporting field.
And the female athletes are not that half bad either.
So, in keep with tradition of this blog, I present to you the Top 5 Hottest female athletes competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Oh, an additional prerequisite is that they are champions in their own events. It doesn’t do to be pretty but suck at your sporting field like a certain Mrs. Enrique Iglesias.
#5 Ekaterina Gamova, Volleyball, Russia
She’s tall. Even for my standards.
Thank god that not all 2m tall people are ugly as Peter Crouch.
Meet Ekaterina. She blocks. She spikes. And in a team with loads of other blond Russian bombshells, standing out is quite an effort, but she does it effortlessly. I look on with envy every time her teammates pat her butt when their team wins a point. Lucky cows!
#4 Britta Steffen, Swimming, Germany
Why her? Well, she one of the few female swimmers who doesn’t have broader shoulders than me or your uncle. And she’s cute too. In a game conquered by the Americans, Britta quietly went about her swimming to win the 100-meter freestyle in superb fashion.
#3 Stephanie Rice, Swimming, Australia
All menfolk rejoiced when she decided to call it quits with fellow Australian swimmer, Eamon Sullivan. In the pool, Stephanie terrorized it the same way she does with men’s hearts by winning 3 gold medals in the 400m and 200m individual medleys and the team’s 4 X 200m freestyle relay.
#2 Sandra Izbasa, Artistic Gymnastics, Romania
You have to admit. Shawn Johnson looks like a chipmunk. And don’t get me started on the Chinese gymnasts. Being Romanian, a gold medal in gymnastics is a MUST. It’s their god given right or something.
Sandra’s style, prose and execution in the Individual Floor Event was just awesome. The judges would have to be blind or retarded not to have awarded her first place. I had to remind myself to close my mouth during her performance.
#1. Yelena Izinbayeva, Pole Vault, Russian
Come on. She has to be in here. The darling of the track and field, Yelena was too damn good that she could afford to snooze off when everyone was trying to bloody qualify for each height. She took 2 attempts to win the gold and another 3 to break her own record. Easy peasy. And her penhance of wearing those running tights one size smaller helped our eyes as well. And her abs are not too bad either.
And not forgetting a special mention to the Venezuelan Volleyball Women’s team, US goalkeeper Hope Solo, US Softball pitcher Jenny Finch, Spanish Gymnast Almudena Cid, and the two Brazilian beach volleyball duo, Talita Antunes and Renata Ribeiro.
