Yes, that's right, once more time to scour the interweb for some fine photography of some fine sportsmen and women. As ever, clean, safe for work pictures only please, and only of real sportspeople (and diminutive Australian singers if you must! 😉 )

It's a dull, rainy day in London, so I propose a combined theme of sunshine and quality photography.

I'll kick off with a favourite pic of mine, Cancellera railing it round Parliament Square. I do this on my commute home every day, but I'm way faster, obviously...! 😉

Over to you!

Don't start that rob2 ffs!

Well the sunny theme has scuppered my idea of posting Lindsay Vonn's impression of [url= ]Sharon Stone[/url], so here's her skiing anyway

Jenn Shelton in the process of winning the Pear Blossom run.
You've got to admire someone who chooses their running attire pattern to match the race name.

I'm not agreeing with TJ, but to be honest I am finding this Friday A & A business a bit dull frankly. Much more fun with a bit of controversy attached. Can we re-brand it as A & A with Guilt Trip or similar?

Can I just say DON'T do a google image search for female weightlifter.

It will take years of therapy to get over that.

It's not a rash, it's from stone loading.
Same guy, different competition.

I find it funny that I was about 100kg at that time, yet the other guys make me look skinny. 😕

Anyway, enough about me, how about another pale skinny vegan.

Ronda Rousey.

Later that year, the 19-year-old won the bronze medal at the Junior World Championships, becoming the first U.S. athlete ever to win two Junior World medals.

Currently ranked as one of the top three women in the world. She won the silver medal at the 2007 World Judo Championships in the middleweight division and the bronze medal at the 2007 Pan Am Games.

Having a tripod instead of legs must make it difficult for her opponents.

Or is she just arsing around?
