Thousands of young Chinese women applicants for the 200 jobs to lead each country's athletes into the National Stadium for last week's opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games had to be at least 1.66 metres tall, have a pretty face – and strip naked for the job recruiters.
During the selection process, the women were required to strip so teachers judging whether they were qualified could measure their body proportions, the Beijing News said in a story detailing the latest opening-ceremony outrage.
