Sand Goddesses

Its summer and the Olympics are coming. Greece is unprepared and the best example of this is they are having an open concept swimming pool with no roof. Perdita Felicien is Canada’s leading Olympic contender and is the Gold metal favourite for the women’s hurdles. Alyson Sydor is the other heavy Canadian favourite and is also favoured to win gold on the mountain bike. But the biggest area where Canada is expected to improve from Sydney is rowing. In the canoe or kayak Canada has dominated several international meets and if the team lives up to its hype our rowers could bring in at least 10 metals by themselves. The media coverage will center on the track where the US’s track team is embroiled in scandal over the alleged use of untraceable steroids by their most dominant sprinters. But the sport I look forward most to watching is women’s beach volleyball.

Why would any guy not want to watch beach volleyball? Extremely well formed women decked out in Speedos and sports bras rolling around on the sand in the hot sun. Every guy should stand up and cheer when their winning team scores a point and the women embrace.

But like every sport it has its critics. There are some who call this sport “sexist” because it’s compulsory for all women to win Speedos and for the men it’s optional. Some people should look at the consequences before they open up their mouths. There is a very good reason why men should not wear Speedos. It’s not natural and for a spectator sport its not good TV. But for women we do not live in a Puritan theocracy and they should be encouraged to strut their stuff. They will say they are just being used as “sex objects”. But who in entertainment is not an “object”. All athletes are exploited for their extraordinary talent. Exposing their body to pain and injury is exploitation. Actors and Actresses allow themselves to be used to portray the scene written by someone else.

Seriously what it all comes down to is not sex appeal but air resistance. In order to get better results all athletes uniforms need to be form fitting. Also athletics are extremely competitive and after a Gold metal victory I see no problem at all in two women hugging each other or going in for a passionate peck.
