Proof that sturdy women can be sensual too

Some people find it hard to see the point of the long jump - there’s a big sprint, a sandpit, some weird running in the air stuff. Those people have obviously never had to leap over a beached whale on a Cornish holiday. No matter, because above and beyond any of that, Jade Johnson is the point of the long jump. Such a glorious athletic body would make any sport worthwhile.

Thus far in her long illustrious career, she has picked up silver medals in the European and Commonwealth Games (both 2002), and at the last Olympics in Athens, she let the entire country down by coming seventh. A consistent jumper of around 6.5 meters, she will need an almighty leap to make the medals this year.

But, seriously, who gives one? The women is a goddess. A really really muscular goddess.
