Pointless post, but watching ski Sunday earlier and was wondering are the any other sports where such a high proportion of the female athletes are 'fit'?
Not intending to cause any offence, just an observation.
No i don't think there is but i'm sure someone will come along and disagree !
I certainly enjoy watching it all on Eurosport 😉
Tennis.
Beach Volleyball.
Beach volleyball could be in with a shout...
EDIT: beaten to it.
Still not sure anything beats skiing
I was watching it earlier on and thought the same thing, although most of the blokes I saw hadn't exactly hit many branches on the ugly tree. One of the blokes is even a pants model.
It does seem to be one of those sports though where all the participants are annoyingly attractive!
Probably says a lot about the difficulties that less attractive female riders have getting sponsorship. 🙁
Back in the days of nynex cable tv I used to see topless darts on one of the low brow channels. Maybe the players weren't that fit but not too bad.

True, even Shaun White, the original ginger stepchild, now looks more like a young Bon Jovi.

Topless darts is a bit different though... I imagine there is a election process not just based on your dart throwing ability 😉
EDIT: Shaun white has always been really annoying for being talented at pretty much anything... Now he looks like that just makes me more angry. Can't even call him the flying tomato anymore...
Darts isn't a sport! 😆 Apart from that, good suggestion!
skiing is a rich persons sport, healthier, fitter, better dentists/ surgeons!
Shot Put?

So not that logical 😉

Never seen Ski Sunday, but my friends who watch it and who've been skiing since they were kids are more rarr than woof, if you get my yapping.
No, this thread is not for men leering at pretty blonde Swiss skiers!
It was a purely scientific enquiry regarding the genetic link between skiing well and being fit 😉
Discus is where it's at.

Skeleton bob. Based on all the participants I know.
Amy Williams is the only one, right?
Need at least 15 of her ^ to balance...
They mainly come from attractive nations on the whole, it's weird that they look so fit with all those clothes on ,normally less is better!!!
Can't hide much in a skin suit...
Depends if you like ski racing
Anna Fenninger for example...

Or free skiing?

I'm a "brunette" guy, but I'd make an exception for Lindsey Vonn if she want to date and maybe give me a ski lesson.
Even after tiger woods has been 'putting her green'?

Why is it that 99% of horse riders are female?
That pole vaulter is absolutely smoking hot!

Rowing needs power and generally bulk.
Yon Scottish skier is stunning, a real cracker!
