It's as chilly as a penguin's pantry at the moment, so let's have an Athletic and Aesthetic thread to remind us of warmer climes! So, let's see some sunny, warm pics of real sportsfolk. As normal, let's try and avoid the FHM/Maxim style of pic and go for some real sports pics of people who are both athletic AND aesthetic. Has to be both, and remember, let's have a few for the ladies of STW as well!
To kick off, the ever smiling Jessica Ennis
Paola Pezzo, MTBist and mother
The Men's four from a few years back
Pretty good in a boat, that lot!
Nick Craig, hardest working man in MTB, takes in the bluebells
and, in honour of the epic draw battled out yesterday, Anderson, Broad and Cook. Cricketists.
I don't know much about diving ( but I know what I like ) but I think this is known as the "not tonight dear I've got a headache triple"

Ton – Bejeebus, who is that fine lady ???
Yep, name and fame, please!
johnikgriff, nice though the view is, it's not really in keeping with the aims of the A&A. Those aims are to show "real" sportspeople, rather than just random smutty pics! After all, if you want to see random pics of scantily clad young ladies, I gather there are many sites dedicated to just that……!
Here's another for you, all round cycling legend Johnny T,
I think I might start to take an interest in cricket…, last I looked it was all Botham and Geoff Boycott and the like. Who is this Andrews chap and why do they have to put those white, Arran cardis over that lovely form?!
Think I might have to go for a roll in the snow!! 😉
Ever my favourite, the wonderful Maja W?oszczowska, Polish MTB sylph (2nd in Beijing Olympics womens xc 2008)
