Chinese Women's Team will start wearing dresses

i prefer the shorts, the skirts look so strange!

If female Tennis players can wear skirts and still look decent why not the female TT players? Female TT players wearing skirts will most likely attract more audiences, specially the males. TT Skirt design can be very innovative and can make the TT female looks more attractive. The female TT players will play harder once they dress up nicely and professionally.

Wow! This looks very nice! It would be more watchable :D

Chinese Women's Team will start wearing dresses...

Hm, I didn't realize they were playing naked. Now, with dresses, they look half-naked.

I think Liu Shiwen is pretty cute. But, I mean, none of them are supermodels. They're not (if I should so bluntly put it) meant to be directed at a horny male audience, or maybe that's how the business runs, and I just don't know it.

yup... ...nothing wrong with short hair... 

they will still have shorts under, not g-strings :)

Shhhhh Yogi,
besides they can always bend at the knee.

I thought they all wear dress already

Some time ago, they was a statement of direction that they would promote the look of 'fitness beauty'.

It's not that the women dress like men. They dress in whatever attire is practical. That only makes sense. You don't compete at the Olympics for swimming in a skirt or jeans for a reason. I don't care what they do or what they change for the dress code as long as people that participate in sports are dressed according to the requirements of their sport. I don't really understand what dressing like men even means. There are few pieces of clothing that are specific to men. Men's underwear is probably the only example (but even women's underwear can be very similar to men's underwear) I can think of off the top of my head. Shorts, t-shirts, and the like are all universal.

Holy smoke! She looks more like a super model than a professional TT athlete to me. With such a near God presentation it is very difficult for an atheist male audience, who is usually spiritually weak minded, to focus just on the ball and not on the human structure. He is not supposed to be horny but now he is tempted to talk about the wonderful cuteness of the sexy lady player rather her TT technique with his equally excited male buddies.

Regarding the introduction of the skirts or skorts, whatever we call it, my speculation is, most male audiences will have no problem in accepting it because they are generous and have a great passion on beautiful things or beings. As for the female audiences, I suspect they may not want to go for it because they only want their boyfriends or husbands to focus on the TT balls, absolutely not on the long legs or the mysteriously designed skirt that may inspire some unwanted imagination.

I have to caution those spiritually weak minded males that are not supposed to be horny but horny anyway, please follow the orders of your lovely girlfriends or wives, keep your eyes on the TT ball only, never mind looking at the face, the body, the arms and legs of the lady TT player...no matter how attractive they are. If you do not have the discipline to behave the way your girlfriend wants, don't invite her to the TT tournaments. There is a potential for unexpected conflict of interest, or even an unnecessary breakup if the girlfriend gets carried away. Once the female jealousy is triggered it is the beginning of the end of the world.       

Everyone should be forced to wear Saive shorts.
