Britain's Olympic Athletes Star In Naked Ad Campaign (PHOTOS)

In a new ad campaign for Powerade, British Olympians have stripped bare. The athletes are nude while performing their various sports. The Daily Mail describes one of the nude Olympians thusly:

Muscles taut and face locked in concentration, this is Rebecca Romero, who will be representing Britain in the Olympic games later this month.

With a carefully placed arm and thigh to protect her modesty, she appears to be in perfect physical condition ahead of what will be a gruelling race in Beijing.

The 28-year-old, who won a sliver medal in rowing at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, only took up cycling seriously in March 2006 after doctors recommended the sport to combat muscle fatigue she was experiencing.

She is very hot

[carlgt1]

can you imagine the outrage & fury from the sanctimonious hypocrites if American athletes did this?

[louinphx]

Be warned: the first one to call Mao chubby will go to jail for 20 years.

I can't really tell but there may be a little too much drag in the water for the swimmer.

[OtayPanky]

She looks a little chubby, no?

[whatsthatsound]

Those are called muscles.

[LeftVetPatriot]

no

[OtayPanky]

No she does? Or no she doesn't?

[scornflakes]

Not so much. But I can see her balls.

[OtayPanky]

I think that's the bicycle seat...but you may be right.

[erichitchmo]

Both pics are kind of hot. I'm confused.

[MagisterLudi]

Celebrating god-like ( in Ancient Greek sense) beauty of a human body is what Olympics are all about.
You gotta problem with it, go play with mentally deficients at your local church or mosque, synagogue.

Hey, ML! Way to take a completely gratuitous cheap shot at religious folks! Naked athletes? Sure, whatever it takes!

[whatsthatsound]

Great insight! Darn those churchgoers and their nudity hating ways!

[whatsthatsound]

Oh, those Brits!
I'm remembering Graham Chapman's "full Monty" in The Life of Brian.

[Kalima]

Nice photos, artfully shot.

[BradPittsburgh]

sleazy.

[chinacatsunflower]

jealous.

[11907281]

b-rad thinks art is sleazy ... surprise, surprise. I bet if they were painted in red, white and blue holding m4a1's you would be all over it.

[LeftVetPatriot]

Like your mom.

[Carnacamarna]

How?

[Phidippides]

Outstanding photos. What we can be when we work at it for a long time. These athletes should be proud. There is a book in this concept. The photos are Liebowitz quality.

[thegirlnextdoor]

"Liebowitz quality" When did Annie become an adjective?
These photos are quite wonderful and distinct. Not like any thing I have seen shot by others, how ever famous!

[whatsthatsound]

I'd say Mapplethorpe quality.

[TchoupitoulasCanal]

Breathtaking!

[ramper]

Won't there be some confusion with the pole vaulters?
