DrewGPM 0 #5 February 23, 2006 Jimmy the Greek didn't in trouble for talking about big thighs..he got in trouble forwas making a point about black athletes. Since most skaters are white, his comments seem very out of place in this conversation. "The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way -- because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs." The validity of that could be a thread of it's own...I just wanted to point that race has nothing to with this topic. And yes..those speed skaters have HUGE thighs. My brothers college roommate trained with Dan Jansen and Bonnie Blair back in the mid-90's. If you think those thighs look big on TV, you shuold see them in person...they are freakish! Nice people...but you can't help but stare at those legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hambone 0 #6 February 23, 2006 The women speed skaters thighs appear to be even bigger than the mens. Both a freakish, and it may just be body structure but damn those things are enormous. And the little suits they wear doesn't really help things....Yeah...You need to grow up. -Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoop 0 #7 February 23, 2006 On an interesting side point. I saw a documentary on how the amazing Kenyan runners all come from one paticular region. For the amount of competitiors they enter compared to there distirbutionacross the country it is hugely disproportionate. Apparantly that is from breeding and the physical lifestyle they have lived (ie in the past) Please dont flame me as its not my work, im regurgitating what was said - apparantly they were notorious for stealing cattle from other tribes. Hence why they are handy on there toes I know sounds silly and some sort of biggots view but it does kinda make sense in an evolutionary long term way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hambone 0 #11 February 23, 2006 Yeah i am a little confused as to how its not ok for Jimmy to say what he said yet its totally ok for Bryant Gumble to refer to the Winter Olympics as "a GOP convention", I am just saying if we are going to hold people accountable for these semi ridiculous PC rules then we need to hold all people accountable EQUALLY. BUT that is a conversation for the SC, i do believe. Sorry i got a little heated, now back to the thighs...i mean quads...i mean dear lord those things are massive. Along those same lines, when the super bowl came to ATL they had a thing call the NFL Experience and one of the exhibits was casting of different NFL players legs and arms. They had a casting of hershal Walker's leg...It WAS FREAKING HUGE! easily as large as both of mine put together. But he was Hershal Walker, the guy they recruited to help push the bobsled and a pretty decent Football player.Yeah...You need to grow up. -Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #13 February 23, 2006 That's what happens when you exercise certain muscle groups on a daily basis. They grow and get bigger. What did you expect and why do you always criticize people who are different from yourself? Back when I did a lot of mountain biking in the early to mid 90s, my thins where pretty big as well. But now that I'm a seasoned slacker, they've come back down in size and look normal. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #18 February 23, 2006 QuoteOne of mine is bigger than the other. It's also possible that the reason why one forearm is larger than the other one is that I also neglected to mention that I am a life long hockey player (a defenseman nonetheless) and holding and swinging the stick in one arm has built up this one bigger than the other. Then again maybe it's because I've been killing kittens since my last steady girlfriend.

rehmwa 2 #19 February 23, 2006 Could be worse. AT least both thighs are huge. Fencers have only ONE huge thigh -and tend to walk in circles if not paying attention ...
