Sharron Davies

Sharron Elizabeth Davies MBE (born 1 November 1962) is a retired swimmer from the United Kingdom. She won a silver medal in the 400 metre individual medley at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, and two gold medals at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton. Since retiring from the sport, she has worked as television presenter and served as a patron of charities for disabled children and fitness.

During the 2004 Olympics, the BBC received several complaints that presenter Sharron Davies' nipples (picture above) were diverting attention from the action in the pool. Though the BBC reportedly ordered cameramen not to drift below her shoulders, Davies herself remained defiant. "If it means more people are watching the Olympics, then it's a positive thing," she said. "They might learn a lot about swimming, get drawn into the sport and actually find they enjoy it!"
