Well, I am in China after all, so let’s have an Oriental edition of the A&A thread (Well, at least until someone posts a sumo wrestler or something, not that that is an invitation, of course!)

So, safe for work pictures of real sportsmen and sportswomen to brighten a Friday!

I’ll kick off with Liu Xiang, hurdlist

and Fu Mingxia, divist

getting a bit niche aren’t we? can’t think of anyone. it’ll keep TJ happy if it stays quiet tho…

Well, it could always be some people at the Beijing Olympics! (I held one of the torches from that games today. Gave me a little frisson of excitement!)

Top guy is obviously British, he’s wearing sandals and socks.

Lin Dan

I’ll kick off with Liu Xiang
