GUANGZHOU - BIKINI-WEARING Asian Games beach volleyball cheer squads are proving too hot for some competitors who claim the scantily-clad dancers make it impossible to concentrate.
'They had an effect on how we played,' Yemen beach volleyballer Adeeb Mahfoudh told the Tianfu Morning News on Wednesday. 'I think they had something to do with our losing the match.'
The Yemeni men's team lost their Tuesday clash to an apparently more focused team from Indonesia, the paper said.
Organisers of the Guangzhou Asian Games have hired four cheerleader squads, each made up of eight girls in swimsuits, to entertain fans during breaks in the beach volleyball action, said the newspaper.

'These girls are very beautiful. With them here, more people will pay attention to beach volleyball,' smiled Mahfoudh. -- AFP
