The Swiss and the Czechs demonstrated the "grim and burly" esthetic to perfection (though the grim part might have been circumstantial):

and Croatia acquitted themselves rather handsomely:
The Italian speedsuits left perhaps too little to the imagination:
And I know I'm biased, but I'm pretty partial to our Canadian boys:
Happy Friday!
to that last fellow i say "oh hello there!"

I haven't seen anything this good since that volleyball scene in Top Gun!

1. Does the silver duct-tape-y squiggle stuff on the rump have a function or is it just for decoration?
2. How come some of them have bare, apparently shaved, legs?
thanks!
