|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board New SI cover. Anantachai Brown, Photographer Jacksonville | FL | | Posted: 5:58 PM on 02.04.10 ->> Just saw this on Yahoo news. I do watch some skiiing, isn't that a normal tuck position? I like the cover. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Let...,217525  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

She's a skier ... who is sking on the cover of a magazine. Stop the presses. Her butt is a little high for her tuck, but it's a compositional thing to keep that ridgeline behind her more cleanly in the frame. They're pissed off that only 4% of SI covers have shown women then get pissed off when a woman graces the cover of SI's Winter Olympics Preview? Makes no sense. As Mr. Chase says in his story, "It's not as if SI put her in a bikini in a Whistler hot tub." She's SKING for god's sake.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Where were the people complaining when a male athlete is "objectified"? Double standard for some.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It's not fair but it is a fact. It's also a fact that sports is big business and that sex sells. If sex weren't a component, she wouldn't be wearing make-up or have her hair done. --Mark  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Certainly neither would have been so popular had they not been blessed with great looks. Nothing wrong with that at all. Heck if Natalie all of a sudden started winning, it'd be huge for the LPGA!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Bradly J.

She started her career here in Mpls. on Buck Hill and indeed has gone on to be a mega talent in the world of women's skiing. I just hope that she doesn't suffer from the "SI curse now that she's on the cover! As far as the pose goes, I see nothing wrong with it. She is a downhill skier, after all.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
