Yep, that’s right, it’s back

A little twist today, it’s an international edition. That means no UK athletes, so you can scour the world to see what else there is. Sadly, it means no Queen Victoria, Kelly S or Denise L but we can cope, can’t we?

As ever, please keep the pics clean and make sure you namecheck the athlete and the sport!

(For those who are new, this is all about those that are BOTH athletic and aesthetic, and is (always has been!) open to all, chaps, ladies, ladies who like ladies, chaps who like chaps!)

To kick off, Carolina Kluft, heptathlist;

Donna Snow, American BMXist

Tanith Belbin, Canadian figure skatist;

Alisa Camplin, Australian skiist;

And, of course, La Gudex, Aussie mountain bikist (OK, so she was born in Surrey, but I can bend that rule a little!)

Over to you, ladies and gentlemen!

My favourite the lovely Emilia. Swedeist cyclist’ist.

Lara “very” Gut, Swiss skier

Jennie Finch – Softballist

Swedish swimmer Therese Alshammar (famous in Sweden for her behind, apparently)

Amy Acuff – High Jumper and very patriotic!

Brett Seymour, Australian rugby player…

saw some of the indoor athletics the other day, my eye was caught by the lovely:

Verena Sailer, German 60m Sprinticater

(2nd right)

There are two components to this thread aren’t there ? Surely these ladies have to be easy on the eye as well as athletically supreme ?

Standards please gents. Flashy’s first pic looks like Bobby Charlton 😯

Swedish swimmer Therese Alshammar (famous in Sweden for her behind, apparently)

Certainly not famous for her face – looks like Michael Shumacher

A few BOBFOCs in this thread.

Ana Ivanovic, Serbian tennis player

Well, stop whining and do something about it then! 😉

Look like you guys could do with my help again this morning!

Alicia Sacramone – Gymnastisist

Maria Abakumova – Spearist

Svetlana Shkolina – Jumperist

Allison Stokke – Stick Jumperist

Jennie Finch – Softballist

Leryn Franco – Who is a Peruvian Spearist

Busy morning today!!

Americans Kerri Walsh and Misty May Treanor

Ana Ivanovic – tennis player(ess)
There is something about her eyes in this picture.

Can’t do the piccy, why?

She’d had a heavy night?

(More Leryn Franco please AB!)

My mate is Ivanovic’s PR guy, and he assures me she is even better in the flesh

Here you go Dez

A challenge chaps (or chapesses if you like).

Find a picture of an A&A female ice hockey player. The best I could find is

Kathleen Kauth. A ‘robust’ chin, though less noticable in this picture.

Good hunting.

WWE’s Trish Status

Allison Stokke wins.

WWE is described as a ‘simulated sport’ though and is officially registered as a form of entertainment (alongside theatre etc) to exploit a loop-hole to avoid taxes levied in the US against proper sports.

This lady is ment to be an ice hockeyist.
Not that sure on her age but says she is a sinior which i thought was 16+.

sorry sootyandjim, i feel so stupid now!!

How long do we think it would take to get all the padding off??!!

Kelvin – I happen to agree

What Kelvin said. More Schtokkke please.

A quick Google reveals enough Franco to have a A&A devoted to her!
Marvellous.

Vicky Parnov Aussie pole jumper

Difficult to get a good run up in those trainers Dez 😀

Skiprat’s international footy line up wins by a mile. Well, just a few inches actually.

More Leryn Franco is approved of…

La Parnov also gets approval!

Seal of approval;

So do I get some kind of award for bring the lovely Leryn Franco to the attention of the STW masses?

Perhaps a SSC torque wrench…?

Well, if that’s the case, I reckon I deserve an award for A&A…. 😉

Great standard today, folks! The girls may well be along for the evening shift to balance things out a bit later.

I think we have some future classics in here, though, that’s for sure! Now, time to ponder on a theme for next week…..

Great standard today, folks!

You’re having a laugh. High munter content. This thread will die unless the bar is raised.

Well, you know what you can do about it….
