As if gymnastics, track and field, swimming, tennis, basketball, and all those other sports weren’t already reason enough to tune into the Beijing Olympics next month, China has thrown in a bonus: Lots and lots and lots of cheerleaders.
And by “lots,” we mean 200,000.
Indeed, the American export known as cheerleading has been well-received by China, and some of the U.S. pros have cartwheeled in to train the pom-pom ladies-in-waiting. The rah-rah girls will cheer for China as well as other nations.
What’s next, supermodel girlfriends for the male athletes in Olympic Village?
I’m booking a ticket!
Who knew the Chinese were so marketing-savvy? Do you think London will do the same in 2012? More importantly, are there 200,000 hot women in England? (Sorry, England. You know it’s true).
