Just been watching the ladies gymnastics. Now leotard legs are waist high, I find myself fascinated as to how they stay in place. I know these girls have very tiny bottoms but how come they don't end up wearing thongs?

I thought a few if them looked a bit sore from hair removal too. I am amazed that they don't have 'wedgies' all the time. Some of the leotards are barely decent, it is a pity the leg height is so extreme these days.

It just seems weird to wear long sleeves and modest necklines with b..... all below the waist. Don't know how the judges can concentrate.

When I wore leotards I felt I had done my exercise just getting it on!grin

I feel the same about the bikinis the Beach Volley ball girls wear, is there actually a reason why they wear bikinis? I'm sure they could play the game in more comfortable appropriate gear and look much more like athletes than beach babes. I guess its done to glamorise the sport but it really puts me off watching its almost like perving..

And the blokes either wear floppy shorts or cover up completely. A bit of perving equality! wink

eeeuw, no, anagram there is a pair of tree trunk cycling thighs in this house, and they are quite big enough thank you.

Omg! That's even worse than the be-Lycra'd fabbly thighs with hairy calves pedalling madly away down our country lanes which I regularly get stuck behind.
