Cowgirls at Handball

Here's another snippet from our roving sports guru Sean Gregory:

Random happenings at the team handball venue (I know, it's pretty random to be at a team handball venue). The halftime show consisted of scantily-clad Chinese cheerleaders, dressed as cowgirls, dirty dancing with those five cute little mascot characters. (The Fuwas) The mascots! When I got to the airport, they looked so cuddly and innocent. But now look!! They grow up so fast. I'm scarred.

I wasn't really expecting China to sex-up the cheerleaders; they let loose at the China-U.S. basketball game Sunday night as well. Talk about Westernization . . .
