No doubt this won't be my first post about the upcoming Olympic Games in China and it isn't even my first post about naked cyclists but it is worth a mention: Rebecca Romero could become only the second British athlete EVER to win medals in different events (hence the title).
That's from the Telegraph website: only a true winner would be that disappointed with silver!She was so disappointed after winning silver as a rower at the 2004 Games in Athens... ...Having reinvented herself as one of the world's top cyclists she will now seek to make history in Beijing as the first British woman to win Olympic medals in two separate summer sports.
The stripping off bit is part of the Powerade promotion and also involves Phillips Idowu (Triple Jump medal hope) and swimmer Gregor Tait (nice buns girls!): they all look pretty damn good 'in gold' HERE on the Powerade site (it's the official sports drink of the Beijing Games). The pictures - including the one above - are by Nadav Kander, especially for the campaign.
What absolutely stunned me was the date she took up cycling as a sport...20 years ago? 10 years ago? 5 years ago?...nope...two (2) years ago but she "is now favourite for gold in the 3000m individual pursuit in which she is already world champion." Blimey...what a gal!

Been a while!
The original games for half a century were performed by naked athletes!
Think they should reinstate the tradition?
