Currently, the best thing pro bicycle racing has going for it is...
the use of podium girls. Here's an example:
http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos.ph...barcosextra-01 For most, I suspect that IS the best thing bicycle racing ever had going for it - period. Anyway, my question is: Has ski racing ever used podium girls/guys (for woman's races) as part of the victory celebration? I don't recall it. I think we should all petition FIS to start using podium girls/guys at races. I think this practice would draw more fans to the sport. Thoughts? -- Marty |

Chris I know the cold weather would be an issue. I think it would be possible to have warm air blown up onto the podium so that the ladies cold wear Podium Girl appropriate clothing. However, we don't want it too warn up there because chilly air and scantly dressed girls does have its benefits. Then again, even warm clothing on a Podium Girl would be very nice. Remember the Obermeyer adds on the back of Ski Mags back in the day? And of course, not to forget the race ladies - the same can be done for them with podium guys. -- Marty |

I'm tellin' ya - the crowds at Apline events in the US will double - maybe triple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:H...elissa_Poe.jpg -- Marty |
