Some Olympic Photographers Are Leering Pretty Hard at Beach Volleyball Players

Notice anything odd about this picture of an “unknown” beach volleyball player at the Olympics, other than the fact that it literally leers at its subject’s midsection? For all the objectification of Ryan Lochte that’s gone on recently, all pictures of him include, you know, his face rather than his junk. Ditto for similarly scantily-garbed male Olympians. Female beach volleyball players, however, are some of the only Olympic athletes in the Getty Images Olympics archives whose bottom-halves take up entire frames.
