The Yemeni beach volleyball team blamed their loss at the Asian Games last week on the antics of these luscious ladies.

When professional sportsmen can't keep their eyes off them, you know that they can drive you to distraction!

Organisers of this year's Asian Games, underway in China, have hired four cheerleader squads, each made up of eight girls, to entertain fans during breaks in the volleyball action. Besides cheering, the girls also perform routines that include traditional Chinese elements including martial arts and fan dancing.
