Who Would You Rather: Naked Olympic Swimmers Edition

Posted by Nicole Pasulka

 

We watched us some women's swimming last night, and while it's no beach volleyball, we guess there were some lookers in the pool--er, or, well there were some girls in swimsuits, at least.

OK. So swimmers are not exactly our ideal "type," but despite (or maybe because of) their hulking, ripply shoulders and enormous calves, lady swimmers can't seem to keep their clothes on.

Last week we told you about the naked PETA "protest" poster of Amanda Beard--the US Olympic Swimmer who will take it off for anyone with a camera. Now we hear that French Swimmer and Olympic gold medalist Laure Manaudou has caught a bad case of the leaked naked pics. As far as we can tell, there's no "good cause" motivating these photos, just some free time and a digital camera. 

So, in light of all this nudiness we need to know--

Whose lake would you rather swim in: Amanda Beard or Laure Manaudou?

Full nakedness to aid in your decision making after the jump.

Who will it be? The Beard? 

 

 Or the Manaudou?

Ouch. Really? More women hating on women? C'mon now.

Yeah. Kinda gross. They both kind of look like boys with breasts. Small breasts. Or the world's most non-flamboyant trannies.

The french gal looks like she'd be an adventurous lay. Amanda seems pretty comfortable with herself too.  I'm going to say frenchie.

Manaudou seems broken by the whole experience in recent interviews - she didn't volunteer for the photos to be published, the were released by an ex-boyfriend, either directly or via someone else.

So I'd rather go all-the-way USA for once.

Did you really have to pick Manadou´s least sexy pic out of her vast collection of nekkid shots?

Whoever chose that photo to represent her had already picked the winner.
