I may need to conduct some further research, but the wrist is looking good to me there.

You can rely on me to do the dirty work Jenny, any time
Is this thread dominated by women or are we just shameless? Have you noticed that the thread is full of links to pictures of half naked men? I feel bad for the gents on here putting up with us.

TO be fair there's a goodly proportion of the men who quite like the pictures *no names*

and it's an equal opportunities thread there's lots of pictures of the ladies...too here's Serena looking good in her pants just for balance

That's very brave and selfless of you Lisa, please report back any findings.

That's a very good point planets.

Serena looks incredible in those pictures.

I have been out the entire day from 9 am - 9 pm.

I was very happy to hear Andy is GB flag bearer - what an honour!

And thanks also for the Rafa pics...just what a girl needs after a long day!

I don't know how Serena does it, she practically lives off tacos.

That photo is photoshopped. She is not that slim. Her Sports Illustrated cover was photoshopped also and caused a lot of controversy.

Most of the experts on 5 Live tonight were with the opinion that the flag bearer should have been Nicola Adams, with one asking the question as to where the Olympics was the pinnacle of their sporting career, which he immediately replied that he felt boxing was.

Brits still in action this week in 2nd round matches:

Granby (ATP Challenger $100,000)

James Ward (who beat Liam Broady in the 1st round) plays Frances Tiafoe.

Fort Worth (ITF $25,000)

Tara Moore plays fellow Brit Katie Boulter (a qualifier who drew & beat another qualifier in the 1st round).

There's a huge bias against tennis from Olympic commentators, even though it was one of the original modern Olympic sports in 1896 (boxing wasn't).

She's shown off her abs during workouts on snapchat, yes there may be a little bit of airbrushing/streamlining, but she is really solid as a rock.

Yes she has amazing abs but she is not that thin. And her arms and legs are not that slim. Her face has been airbrushed so much she looks more like Venus. I don't understand the need for these magazines to slim someone down all the time. She looks fantastic as she is without the need for airbrushing.

Yeah, airbrushing tends to happen from the waist down with her. This is her on the beach

At least half the males on DS are gay so I wouldn't go fretting about that one

The Aussie tennis players - preppy, prefect or wimbledon linesmen?

And can you imagine Nick wearing it!?

LOL at Novak's "response"

It's very Glee club isn't it?

I love the yellow and turquoise of the rest of their kits though.

Some of these outfits must be a practical joke. I hope ours is better than last time. I loved the competition kits but that tacksuit with gold trim from the opening ceremony was pure chav.

I wasn't sure about the team GB kits this year, then I saw this picture of Jess Ennis. I'm sold.

I have a bit of a girl crush on Jess plus our surnames are similar.

My old nemesis Stella has missed the mark this time, I'm not keen. The rugby shirts are the least awful for me. These tracky jackets need burning in a pit of fire.

Here's our formal attire. They look like they're auditioning for Celebrity Apprentice.

That's a perfect description - they look like the Dalton Academy Warblers!
I notice Thanasi is the rebel with his collar up - Nick would definitely have done the same plus God knows what else!

That little guy in the middle looks like Norman Wisdom.
