OY THE AGONY! OOH THE SHAME! TO MAKE YOUR PRIVATES PUBLIC FOR A GAME? I know what you're thinking: I'd love to see more women's table tennis on tv, but not enough other people are interested. The International Table Tennis Federation has heard your pleas, and rapidly went back and forth before coming up with the solution you'd probably expect. Because table tennis, after all, is just beach volleyball where you're not standing on the (bigger) court (which isn't made of sand), so what the ITTF wants is for its women's table tennis players to show more skin. "We are trying to push the players to use skirts and also nicer shirts, not the shirts that are made for men, but ones with more curves," International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) vice president Claude Bergeret said.
Meet fashion trend-setter Naomi Natsumoto. And needless to say, nothing's been asked of the male players.
[More women's ping pong awesomeness from elsewhere on NBC.]
