Pretty decisive poll so far.
Hey when the Canadian guy from Manitoba won gold in the men's skeleton, after the race he and his entourage were walking through the streets of Whistler on their way to do their TV interviews. A camera crew covered his walk, there were tons of people there cheering him on and at one point some chick handed him a full pitcher of beer... and he took a good long guzzle of it as he kept walking. Everyone was cheering.
There was a mention made of it later in the media. I got the feeling he was "cautioned" by some higher ups that it wasn't a smart thing to do, drinking in a public place... but that's it. As far as I know barely an eyebrow was raised over the incident other than it being mentioned to the athlete that it was frowned upon and that some people weren't impressed.
I don't see that these girls should be treated any differently.
