One sexy sportswoman, with the photographic evidence presented so far one is left wondering if she could (if she wants to) be allowed the luxury of competing as the men did in the Olympics of ancient times?

Love those legs that just go on forever!!!

She is damn hot .

I suppose it's a bit silly to expect a picture of her in her volleyball kit then?
