British Olympians get naked for Powerade
Seeing British people naked is typically not a wonderful experience. The exception may be if they're Olympians, as they can be expected to display at least a base level of fitness. Powerade has convinced three such Britons—cyclist Rebecca Romero, swimmer Gregor Tait and triple jumper Phillips Idowu—to shed their clothes for a new Powerade campaign shot by award-winning photographer Nadav Kander. The idea is to display “the real make-up of an athlete and their muscle and power,” according to a Powerade rep. See the shots of Tait and Idowu after the jump.

What I'd do to be a bike seat right now.

I imagine the logistic problems of using a male cyclist in that shot.

I'm impressed they justified this as "the real make-up of an athlete" and didn't even give a nod to history for the idea. The original olympians were all naked.

What I wouldn't give to be a pool of water right now. That shot is awesome.

"Seeing British people naked is typically not a wonderful experience."
Typically moronic yank attempt at humour (yes, with a "u") the people who have to be told when to laugh on their tv shows mocking Brits.
Tell me yanks, which country are these treasures from ?

And you have the cheek to lecture others ?

Don't believe I was lecturing. Also, I'm English, and have some unfortunate basis for that opinion.
