The Olympic medals will be presented by hot Chinese girls.

“We have certain requirements for their height, since they are to present the medals to our athletes,” said Zhao Dongming, director of the Cultural Activities Department at Beijing’s Organizing Committee for the Games. “They need to be of a height between 1.68 (5-foot-6) and 1.78 meters (5-foot-10). That’s above average.”

“Generally speaking, they can’t be too fat,” Zhao added. “Their figure should be good. They shouldn’t be too heavy.”

Finalists have to be university students between 18 and 25 years old.

There’s already been a backlash, both from girls who don’t quite make the cut and from human right organizations who are angry over gender discrimation.
