It was with sadness that last week saw the A&A thread shut down due to some inappropriate comments. That's not a good thing. So, let's see if we can all play nicely today, shall we? Please?
So, by way of reminder, a few little ground rules;
The Athletic and Aesthetic thread is all about those two things, the human form in sport - So, let's see what pics we can summon up which are both athletic AND aesthetic.
The A&A thread was always meant to be as inclusive as possible, so how about a few pics for the ladies of STW today?
Clean, safe for work pictures only, please! Details of the names and sports are great as well. I've found some interesting stories about people from some of the A&As gone by.
Finally, please, please, please, please keep any smutty/inappropriate comments out of it! If you can't play nicely......
So, here goes!
As the Winter Olympics roll on, some winter folks to start!

Lindsey Vonn and Julie Mancuso - US Skiers. If you didn't see the women's downhill earlier this week, you missed something!
Petter Northug, Cross Country skier;

[/img]
(Sadly he got bronze!)
The cross country skiers are insane. Don't think I've ever seen so many athletes crossing the line at the very end of their stamina, collapsing in exhaustion. Stunning.
So, over to you, folks and remember, if you can't play nicely.....
🙂
Hockey? Netball? Anyone?

Kati Wilhelm - German biathlete

Julia Mancuso - Skier
i certainly wouldn't want to pick a fight with Ms Paerson.

Was very pleased to see her get a medal

Chemmy Alcott anyone ?
Tango Man +1 for those comments!
Cheers Flash, unbelievable bravery on both parts....
Tangoman +1 again and even more scary is they would not have been able to pop a few brufen or df118 painkillers etc as they are on the banned list. 😯
Cross country skiers, awesome fit specimens, remember trying to catch a few on my Army planks back in the day when i was in Norway for the winters, one girl who worked in the hotel used to beat every man in our squadron around the local track.

marla streb..........Missy great, challenging, iconic to those of a generation but rather daft with recent events
DezB - Shaun White? A+A? ginger, lank - long hair and spotty? does that do it for the ladies?
If A+A stood for amazing and amazinger (on any board) then yes, fully. He is an utter machine. I'd kill to be able to do even a quarter of what he can. I'll have his talent, but he can keep his looks!
Aesthetic on a board. I didn't post a pic of his hair or face 🙂
Strange that you deemed it necessary to comment on my pic rather than the other shit on the thread. I'd rather shag Shaun White than Big Daddy.

Amy Williams could get a gold!
I'd rather shag Shaun White than Big Daddy.
innappropriate - this is supposed to be about aesthetics, not shagging you bad man
I'm banned!

Dan taught me to ride, and is an all round top bloke! Drinks like a fish, too!
DezB - hopefully, I'll never have to choose between the 2. Funny that you said you'd rather shag Shaun White than Tanith Belbin... 😳
(not that its about shagging of course)
Torah all the way for me...[img]

[i]DezB - hopefully, I'll never have to choose between the 2[/i]

@ Captainflash, small world i've met Dan at Ten-80 in Tamworth and been to a party or two with him, and yes your right on both accounts! Top Wakeboarder too i might add.
Small world indeed! Taught me a lot, and really moved my riding on quickly.
