But most athletes abuse hot wax. It is not just this sport. It extends to swimming as well. Do you really think the German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, etc men are THAT hairless. Maybe the Chinese, Japanese, or Americans ( due to the American Indian influence) might be a tad smooth naturally-but everyone else is hairy.

11. "Edit post"
Mon Jul 30, 2012, 10:33 AM
Jul 2012

Representing babyboomers. Those for whom "Keyboarding" in high school was in a huge room of 40 or more, and spent hours trying to get: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." free of less than three errors! Those Who TODAY still tend to look at the keys because even after the many decades cannot remember where the letters are, let alone that number row. Those who have at least one friend who uses only two fingers, and whips out 58 WPM. So of course that "Edit Post" key is the best friend one can have, but never realize they can "preview" their posts, so "adds" it then discovers they cannot spell, they cannot use punctuation, NOR can they key in the word they THOUGHT they were typing. Thus by the time the "error/errors" are discovered they have spent too long and lose their post and must begin again.

That is my "specialty", may not qualify for Gold, but am sure to be in the Silver Medal group.
