Looks good to me. .

I have little doubt that showing more skin is good for ratings.
Is there an option for more skin?

LOL, seriously, doesn't bother me at all.

These women work for years to achieve at an Olympic level and all people can talk about is their outfits?!? (Or their hair as in the case of Gabby Douglas.) I don't give a rats what they wear. I care about what they achieve and applaud them for doing it.

I was happy to see that Sponge Bob's friend Sandra "Sandy" Cheeks made the UK volleyball team
the US women's soccer team is so good looking. I would let Hope Solo and Alex Morgan do unspeakable things to me.

I call B.S. on "what else would you wear for beach volleyball?" Does anyone see any WATER around there? It's just volleyball on sand, and IMO longer legs would do the players a big favor. I'll bet landing on that sand HURTS. It's sexist fashion, pure and simple, that keeps the women dressed like strippers and the men in actual athletic wear.

Sheesh - one simply asks for a bit of modesty and that makes them afraid of the human body?

I like what they are wearing. I think they look good. They look like they can move freely which is what they need. No issue from me here.
