    Caroline Wozniacki Puts The Cameltoe Back In Tennis

    Cyclepassion: Babes, Bikes, And Boobs

    Given the, um, passion that many have for cycling, it's not really surprising that someone took it upon themselves to create a calendar devoted to bicycles (and the sexy ladies that love them, natch). The aptly named Cyclepassion calendar is now in its fourth iteration—yet somehow, in all that time, no one's thought to include a dildo bicycle in the mix. Really, do we have to think of everything?

    Olympic Model Leryn Franco Is Back In Training

    Sadly, Paraguayan javelin hurler Leryn Franco did not bring home gold at the Beijing Olympics this year. Fortunately, she still has the other career to fall back on—international superbabe. Since she doesn't have a lot on her plate sports-wise for the next three-and-a-half years or so, she's gone right back to showcasing her other talents—and maybe a few other things—on the runway. Don't worry—it's one of those fashion shows where the designers aren't really fanatics about covering people in "clothes." Not a bad way to pass the time until 2012. More »

    Olympic Medalist Loses Her Synchronized Swimsuit

    Are you still weeping into your Wheaties and dreaming of the lost days of Beijing glory? Well, fear not, because the Olympics never really end—not as long as we have the memories, the commemorative t-shirts, and the paparazzi who follow athletes to nude beaches and get pictures of them topless. Gemma Mengual is a synchronized swimmer from Spain who won silver at this year's games, but instead of going to Disneyland she took her boyfriend to Ibiza to get a head start on the competition for our 2012 nude Olympian roundup. As you can see, she competes just as well out of the water as she does in it. More »

    Howard Schatz Is A (Naked) People Person

    The portfolio of photographer Howard Schatz is filled with fashion models, boxers, pregnant women, swimmers, and even clowns—but like the people in them no two photos look alike. Either through funky lighting, bizarre makeup, dunking his subjects underwater—or just being all up in their face—he makes each portrait intimate and unique. And while he's not exclusively a nude photographer, it's clear that Schatz admires the curves and contours of human flesh and enjoys capturing it in as many ways as he can. We guess that means we have something in common—only in our case "capturing" means "eagerly staring at." More »

    The Olympics might (finally) be over... but the memory of thousands of hot athletes fucking like bunnies in the Olympic Village lingers on. You'd think that with all that television coverage NBC would have at least recorded some of the action for the rest of us; in the meantime we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for a bootleg "Synchronized Swimmers Gone Wild!" video to turn up before 2012 rolls around.

    This Week In Condoms (= Not Olympic Athletes, Apparently)

    As usual, athletes in the Olympic Village have access to free condoms during the Games. What's not as usual is that no one is using them. Maybe they're all taking that "no sex before competition rule" a little too seriously? We thought it was always have sex before competition rule, but maybe that's why we don't have any bronze medals.

    German Olympians Join The Parade Of Naked Athletes

    Our Beijing bureau has been working around the clock to make sure that you stay up-to-date on all the latest Olympic news—specifically, which athletes have taken their clothes off for a photo. Our Chinese spies could find no information about any sporting events or medal winners—some guy won a swim race, maybe?—but they do tell us that the latest German edition of Playboy will have four different collectors covers starring four female athletes currently competing at the Olympics. They are sailor Petra Niemann, canoeist Nicole Reinhardt, judoka Romy Tarangul, and Katharina Scholz, a field hockey star (pictured above) who worries that her fortuitously-timed cover might distract people from all the field hockey, which doesn't really seem possible. Check out her fellow countrywomen below and keep dreaming about all that gold jewelry. More »

    Faster, Higher, Naked-er: 21 Nude Olympic Athletes

    Did you know that the athletes at the ancient Olympic Games competed in the nude? Of course there were also no babes allowed back then—so although we have progressed in some ways, don't you think that the 29th Olympiad would be more exciting if they brought back a few traditions? Fortunately, there have been plenty of combatants throughout the years who have defied modern convention and its unitards so that sports fans might marvel at the perfection of the human form. And you didn't think we forgot about those other paragons of sport, did you? After all, following tradition is what the Olympic spirit is all about. More »

    Faster, Higher, Sexier: 20 Hot Summer Olympic Athletes

    Tomorrow is the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, where the world's greatest athletes will gather to compete in contests of legendary skill and strength and compare the definition of their ab muscles. For sports fans—and fans of tight and toned bodies—it's also a great opportunity for sight seeing. We recommend the swimming or beach volleyball venues, since they tend to have the fittest girls and the skimpiest outfits. However, there are beautiful babes in every sport and discipline so to celebrate the lighting of the torch we offer this gallery of smoking hot Summer Olympic athletes past and present.

    Play Ball: Top Ten Female Athletes In Playboy

    Athletes are, by definition, very fit individuals and fit individuals are, by the definition of British slang, extremely hot. So that's why Playboy has such a good track record when it comes to getting athletes to take their uniforms off for the magazine. Tennis babe Ashley Harkleroad is just the latest in a distinguished line of female athletes to pose naked on their pages and this list rounds up 10 of the best. Actually, it's only ten if you consider pro wrestling chicks to be "athletes." For the benefit of this post—and the benefit of us not getting hit in the head with a steel folding chair—we'll agree that they are. More »

    Wimbledon 2008: A Fortnight Of Babes On Grass

    Yesterday, was Day One of the All-England Lawn Tennis Championships. You know what that means? Hot, sweaty athletes in low tops, high skirts and lots of loud, passionate grunting. Plus, there's always the possibility that a spirited match will turn into a water bottle fight, which could make the tournament's long-standing "white outfit only" policy finally pay off. The Wimbledon courts are much more prim and proper than your average sporting event, but that just makes the upskirt shots that much more tantalizing. A photo roundup of the hottest ladies action is below, but we'll keep on the proceedings for the next two weeks. Or an eye on the competitors, at least. More »

    Naked Candidates Make Russian Politics Even More Interesting

    No sooner had we trained our politically scientific eye to the French political scene, then we stumbled on this even sexier development from the country formerly known as the Soviet Union. It seems that current Russian overlord Vladimir Putin discovered a better way to distract voters from his policies than dating a sexy French pop star—he recruited several of the country's former Olympic athletes to ruin for parliamentary elections under his party banner. The only requirements were that they be sexy and female, but that was apparently enough to get them all elected. We're sure it had nothing to do with the relative un-freeness of the Russian voting system and everything to with their, uh ... qualifications, which you can see below. Maybe if our Libertarian or Green parties had thought of this tactic we wouldn't be in the state we're in now. More »

    Will history remember soccer referee Ana Paula Oliveira for the furor she caused in Brazil earier this year for wrongly disallowing a goal (whatever that means) in a high-profile Brazil Cup match; for her previous efforts as a women's rights advocate; or for accepting a reported quarter million dollar offer from Playboy for posing nude for the July issue of the Brazilian edition of the magazine?

    Wimbledon: The All-England Upskirt Challenge

    The Championships at Wimbledon are all about tradition. Strawberries and cream, grass courts, bows and curtsies to the assembled royalty, and when it comes to dress code—tennis whites only are allowed on the hallowed grounds. Of course, what you wear under those tennis whites is entirely up to you, as French teen Tatiana Golovin showed the whole word when she showed the whole world her pair of fire engine red undies during this week's Grand Slam event. Catching a glimpse of grunting hotties in their oh-so-short skirts is also a time-honored tradition, but no one has ever seen anything like that at Centre Court. Hey, it only took female players 100 years or so to get the same prize money as men, so maybe it's time to break a few other traditions as well. More »
