Eye Candy: USA Men's Gymnastics Olympic Team

Wish I had enough material to do a Style Inspiration on the female athletes....

Ah, who am I kidding. I'm loving this. Once swimming and tumbling are done, I'm not sure I'll keep tuning in! Ladies, I give you my three favorites of the jacked, clean-cut athletes of the United States' Men's Gymnastics Team.

Raj Bhavsar
I love this guy for his cool-kid confidence. He makes it all look really easy, and he's the kind of person I would love to kick back and have a beer with.





Alexander Artemev
This Russian in America has a total babyface, and I've always been a sucker for blond guys. He's also incredibly lean, graceful and powerful.





Jonathan Horton
This frat-star from Oklahoma is my favorite for four reasons: his adorable face, his left arm, his right arm, and mostly, for his party-boy attitude on the sidelines. Pounds for his teammates, loud cheering, total USA pride, and the fact that after his team won the bronze, he announced that "We're gonna go jump in the river!"

Eye Candy: USA Olympic Men's Swimming Team

It's official: I have fallen in love with the four be-Speedoed, long-n-lean, nearly hairless young men that make up the USA Olympic Men's Swimming Team. Turbo-powered legs, double-jointed shoulders and world record-breaking times aside, from interviews we can gather that these guys are excited, humble, extremely hard-working and demonstrate model sportsmanship.

But it's not just athleticism and patriotism that has me watching the events in the Cube. The other source of my newfound Olympic enthusiasm is the sum of broad shoulders, muscular backs, ripped waists and cute butts in Speedos.

And no, I do not have any shame.

Go USA!

And a few shots that don't do justice to the amazed shock and joy that come to young athletes after thigh-burning, back-breaking, finger-pruning training lasting years. Actually, lasting a lifetime. There's no better eye candy than a genuinely special moment for deserving people, captured on film at the height of emotion.
