"They had an effect on how we played," Yemen beach volleyballer Adeeb Mahfoudh told the Tianfu Morning News on Wednesday.
"I think they had something to do with our losing the match." The Yemeni men's team lost their Tuesday clash to an apparently more focused team from Indonesia, the paper said.


Organisers of the Guangzhou Asiad have hired four cheerleader squads, each made up of eight girls in swimsuits, to entertain fans during breaks in the beach volleyball action, said the newspaper. Besides cheering on the already capacity crowds, the girls also perform routines that include traditional Chinese elements including martial arts and fan dancing.
"These girls are very beautiful. With them here, more people will pay attention to beach volleyball," smiled Mahfoudh.
"If I can, I hope to watch them perform at the next match."
During an "inspection" tour on Tuesday, Kenneth Fok, deputy delegation head of Team Hong Kong - and reportedly romantically involved with China's Olympic diving champion Guo Jingjing - said the beach volleyball venue was "orderly" and the rally team "sexy," the paper said.

No, athletes are suppose to be professionals. You're expected to play in front of people.

This news is too funny.

The comments of the Yemen team leader is even funnier. Despite losing the game because of the girls' distraction, he still appreciate the girls very much.

Put them in plain view of whichever men's team that's leading to make things more interesting!

The obvious solution is to have a bikini cheer leader squad for every sporting team, so both the team-members and the audience can practice their concentration skills.
