Magnificent Men of the Olympics

Guess what kicks off on Friday??? The Olympics!! Two weeks of half-naked and perfectly chiseled men vying for gold necklaces. Of course, there are some chicks too, but that’s not what we are here for.  Let the summer of hotness begin.

The Australian Men’s Olympic Swim Team hanging out on Manly Beach in Sydney. What a well-named property. How can you just pick one of these guys, they are all doing it so right. Except that one on the far left, he’s going a little hard at the cheerleader arm.

G’day Mr. Magnussen. So nice to see you.

And that my friends, is how you take quality shots of Olympians (as opposed to this weird business).

Ryan. Lochte. It’s been four long years without your pretty face. Welcome back.

June 2012 Vogue. Best issue ever.

His Gillette commercial has almost led to me falling many many times off the treadmill.  Seriously, such good TV right there.

And here’s ol’ Phelps for his fans.

Cullen Jones representing Team USA swimming. And teaching babies to swim.  Can’t beat that.

Thomas Finchum and Troy Dumais from diving.

Australian water polo, doing it right again.

Hugo Parisi of Brazil. Thank you Brazil. (Source)

Guiseppe Lanzone from Rowing. Doing justice to that Ralph Lauren.

Park Tae-Hwan of Korea

Go USA.

    excellent choice today, cely. i am a little sad that i didn’t see any of those hot guys when i was at manly beach a few weeks ago. but i am very glad i got to see them today :)

  2. I’m probably in the minority, but I totally think Ryan Hall is sooooo cute. I’m into the skinny runner guys though.

  3. Justin

    Babe… I look way sexier in my boardshorts than those dudes. Way sexier.

    • I’m afraid I have to agree… While swimming is second only to gymnastics as my favorite Olympic sport, and if anyone can pull off the Speedos, it’s these guys, they just don’t do it for me. I think it’s ‘cuz I feel like I can’t cuddle their rock-hard bodies. And I’m a cuddler. I imagine it would feel like cuddling a block of cement :(

      • Justin

        Rude! I have a rock hard body .

        • But I was actually complimenting you, fellow. I think you DO look better than these fellows. But I also know your personality, so you’re not JUST a rock-hard body to me. But I still don’t want to cuddle you… No offense, of course. Wow… this just isn’t going well, is it?

          • Justin

            I think if you wanted to cuddle me it would affect the dynamics of your relationship with Cely. She is stingy on who I cuddle with…apparently her and bardot and my dogs is all I’m allowed to cuddle.

          • Reese's Runner

            I won’t share. And you do look better in your board shorts.

          • Tom Hardy or Channing Tatum are about the only men I’d ever ask you share with me, should you ever have the opportunity :) I would share Marshall with you ;) That’s a lie. No, I wouldn’t.

          • Justin

            Sonja… I’m gonna send you a picture of me in a speedo. Prepare to vomit….and babe.. you’ve already seen it. Lol.

          • Reese's Runner

            Don’t open is Sonja. Don’t do itttttttttttttt

          • Justin

            Rude! You said it was “interesting ” … if memory serves me correctly. Meany.

          • Reese's Runner

            “Interesting” is a polite way to conceal impolite thoughts in many cases. Or it can be generally interesting. Who knows?

          • Ugh. I checked my email before I refreshed the blog! Cely, no wonder you are wildy attracted to him… I was all, “Ummm… oh. Oh dear. Oh no. Eek. Hmm. Welllll…” So, he basically rendered me speechless. In an “interesting” way ;)

          • Justin, I sent you a pic of what I would likely look like in a bikini…

          • Justin

            I laughed when I saw the supposed photo of you in a bikini. And Cely loves me for my brains…..

          • Reese's Runner

            Si. Your brains. Juuuuuuust your brains.

  4. Please do a Michael Phelps Monday. <3…… Please! ;)

  5. Love the Olympics and I just realized why.:)

  6. it makes me sad that these guys dont train at the Charlestown, MA YMCA. it also makes me sad i dont see guys like this…um anywhere in Boston.

  7. Can’t take my eyes off the nubbin on the center dude in the Austrailian water polo pic.

  8. That vogue was hilarious. The model was taller than all of the athletes except for Dwayne Wade!

    I can’t wait for the olympics either. Going to be a great year.

  9. Jessica

    You forgot the hottest Olympian and most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in real life, Ricky Berens. Google him. You won’t be sorry.

  10. Jess

    I just passed out from the heat coming off the screen.

  11. Thanks! It would only be better if they would let the runners run without their shirts on. Then we could see Nick Symmonds without his shirt on! That would be a good day!

  12. all I gotta say is…I am proud to be an American. Team Lochte alllll the way!

  13. Annie

    Best. Olympics. Post. Ever.

    *sigh*

  14. Oh thank you! You make Mondays bearable when the last thing I want to do is function after a weekend.

  15. Where are the gymnasts?!? They may be short but they are SUPER hot…

  16. What about the Gymnasts? Those guys on the rings are ripped!

  17. So delicious, I can’t wait for the Olympics to start!!!! I’m going to have to get everything done and organized so I can just sit the whole time they are on, haha!!!

    And I looked at the pics before reading and thought, “what’s with the guy on the left?” and then read, too funny. Yeah, he needs to relax his right shoulder some and act like he doesn’t care.

  18. It won’t be long until summer gets here and another swimsuit season begins. Many of us cringe at the mere thought of donning a bathing suit and heading to the beach or local pool. Our reasons for this vary widely from everything from feeling insecure about your body to wanting to dress appropriately in accordance with your personal, religious, or cultural beliefs. Assuming that you do not have an issue with wearing a swimsuit in the first place because of individual or other beliefs read on for a discussion on modest swimwear for kids
    that can keep your strategic areas covered while also allowing you to feel like the beautiful woman that you are.

  19. Amber

    This post is so full of awesome!

    And board shorts clearly missed the point….

  20. Oh holy crap. I knew there was a reason I love swimming. You forgot about diver David Boudia!

  21. Amanda

    My favorite Monday post ever!

  22. Tam

    Best post ever!!!
    I had to do a slow stroll this time. Thank you, I am sitting in a restaurant sipping coffee, and had a big gulp and almost choked when the pictures came up! Can’t wait,

  23. Hannah

    Who is the guy in the white speedo in the last picture? Between him and Lochte.. oh my.

  24. My friend sent me the link to your blog after we were talking about the hot men in the Olympics and I just read your stuff and wrote her back, “What an adorable girl! I want to go to Texas and be her friend.” :)
