Re: US "Nymphettes" Gymnastics team...

Those tops look like they would have the effect of "strapping them down" -- which seems to be the main function of sports bras, so far as I can tell -- but as I say, with 1% body fat, breasts tend to be rather smaller than average (at least in the absense of silicone). Actually, it is kinda nice to see athletic, small breasted women as sex symbols, as compared to what is usually served up by pop culture.

Dana Torres was (and is) amazing, and a sex symbol in her own right. I hope she makes it to the London games.

My main complaint about the TV coverage is that it is far too US-centric -- probably one of the reasons for the seemingly 24/7 beach volleyball coverage. I would like to see a lot more coverage of a broader range of sports -- including those where there are no serious US medal contenders.
