Following on from Bethan's post, below, on the physical perfection and athletic prowess of her ten favourite London 2012 male Olympians, I felt it necessary to represent for the girls, especially for those of us who fancy girls (not all of you girl fanciers are lesbians, I know, I know, but admirers) and for the straight guys too. I'll be honest I'm speaking as not only as a girl who fancies girls, but also as someone who appreciates beauty in all its forms, whether it is Durufle's Requiem, a particularly exquisite Chanel Couture show, Kate Moss circa 1995, just about anything blessed with the Fibonacci sequence, and of course, amazingly fit top of their game athletes of either sex. I haven't seen any other gay girls publicly fessing up to exactly which Olympics events are heavily underlined in their diaries, so I might as well... and if you haven't got them diarised, now is your chance!
