What is it exactly that makes this clip so awesome? Sure, she's got a great bod, and is pretty, but there's something different here. Just the joy and expression?
Aussie girl finishes in first. We like to see winners around here. Heres another vid of the actual race, with crappy music. Hit mute.
Ive been watching her fantastic win over and over.
I read that race was a preliminary heat and that she came in fifth in the Finals.
When did female athletes become glamorous & feminine? I can remember when female runners etc. were somewhat stringy, plain and manly. As for field athletes, well I remember when skin sex tests were carried out on Russian women shot-putters because their gender couldn't be determined by visual means! I think it started with Flo-Jo didn't it?
Don't think I am complaining, that clip brightened the start of my day! Thanks for posting.

First in german: "Das ist schlichtweg eine blöde Kuh!" Google translator: "She is simply a stupid cow!"
And it's unfair, because with her hopping she's irritating her competitors. Boys, don't just think with your balls!

We've been doing that for Millennia, and its not going to change. No different here at "Cave Man HQ", either. Joking aside, I understand the point, and tbh she is not exactly advancing the Feminist cause.....but then she does her winsome wiggles and thoughts of the "emancipation of wimmin folk" fly out the window. Whilst I'd agree that the objectification of women may be a problem, on the other hand Femi-Nazis annoy me as well; some go way OTT, and need to chill out a bit if ye ask me.
A wee bit o' wiggling never hurt no one. All in good fun. I think she knows shes a stunner too, but what of it? She's right.

Oooooch, for me it has nothing to do with objectification or emancipation. Sure she looks very good and it's fun to watch her but I think this hopping is irritating her competitors, I think it's simply unfair. If she'd play in a baywatch movie, she should get an academy award....

Hehehe, got ya. Might have been a cunning bit of "gamesmanship" on her part, come to think of it. AFAIK, having a wee saucy wiggle before a race is not technically illegal as of yet.....So she was probably acting within the rules. All is fair in sport and war. 'Psy-Ops', innit?
