These women are Olympic athletes. Why do they have to look like showgirls?

The daughter of former US President George Bush has posted a photo on social media of her grabbing the athlete's biceps. You can see the guy closely in the opening ceremony here & here

The beautifulness is human look and soul,

As most young people looks beautiful dispite the different looks and different details of thier looks but the youthness shine from thier faces bodies and looks

This is the hunmun as God create them but of course there air few of exceptions.

As for sport in these day of age the change in life, Money, life style of living and most importantly the revolution in communication social media all that drages people to see, learn and change and som times copy the thos beautful examples they see and they love them.

Neo,

If you like the BMX cyclists you should catch the X-Games when they’re on. Way more fun than the Olympics with really outrageous events like the guys on motorcycles doing 360 flips in midair. BMX racing originated there.

Neo, I’m guessing it’s because of color TV and now HDTV, so make-up and hair styles are of personal concerns for looking good on TV. Do you recall a New Yorker article of 10-20 years back on the Las Vegas topless ice show skaters, showing them made up and in costume and in mufti without make-up?

As Darwin explained, sexual selection and other types of selective pressures often work in the opposite directions. Athletes are special cases of a very strong selection, which can drive away from natural norm which we perceive as beauty.

Many women athletes are not, strictly speaking, women, but natural androgynes, especially where brute force trumps all other traits. Robust skeleton and excessive muscular mass also means an excess of male hormones, first of all testosterone. This is a natural anabolic, so they need not to cheat and use these forbidden doping substances, their bodies produce them themselves. And this does not lead exactly to female beauty!
