It's true to a degree that muscular bodies *look* more masculine to us because that's what we're used to seeing, but I think it's pretty silly to apply that kind of standard to an Olympic athlete. The coverage, in general, has been pretty different for men and women through these games.

Interesting videos, those. Interesting to see the female swimmer with the trainer who's very focused on eating healthy, while Michael Phelps just eats what he wants. I wonder if, as the blog says, that's cultural gender differences at work there.
