Following the results so far this year we have a number of athletes who are easy on the eyes. It’ll be fun keeping track. Maybe after it is all over we can set up an elimination bracket to find the hottest medalist in 2008.
So far:
Chinese archer Ling Chen - Silver
American swimmer Lacey Nymeyer - Silver
Czech shooter Katerina Emmons - Gold
Italian cyclist Tatiana Guderzo - Bronze
Turkish weightlifter Sibel Ozkan - Silver
In my book Sibel and Katerina are in the lead, with the bonus that Sibel could protect me with her super strength and Katerina could protect me with her pellet gun- rowr!
Any others?
How about the men?
Katerina and Lacey for me.
I offer for your contemplation Chinese diver (gold medalist in the 3m springboard synchronized competition) Guo Jingjing . Oh, she’s pretty ripped when diving , too. :eek:

I’m sorry, but she looks like a tranny in that shot.
I’m waiting for Maria Sharapova to be on the stand…

Waitaminute! I used to be younger than most of the athletes at the Olympics and I’m older than all of these!
Hey - this ain’t fair!
goes to check for gray hairs
And save Tatiana and Katerina for me
No, I already had dibs on Tatiana. Sorry!
Her webpic isn’t good, but one of the Russian synchro divers was gorgeous in competition.

You’ll have to wait at least four more years, as she’s not in the Beijing Olympics.
From this page, you can access the draws (warning: PDF, and the women’s singles and doubles links are reversed).
Australian 400m medley gold medallist Stephanie Rice is certainly not ugly.

Women’s Volleyballers Misty May and Kerri Walsh… surprised it hasn’t been said yet.
I’m sure they’ll get at LEAST a bronze soon enough, but still.
Well, field hockey is still in the early stages, but I nominate the entire Argentine women’s team. The Brits and Aussies are cute too, but the Americans are kind of scary looking. Assorted pictures here .

Damn, she was mighty fine.
Ok, I give up my dibs on Tatiana for her instead
Does it have to be medalists? Sadly, I don’t think Marilou Dozois-Prevost won anything.
Don’t know how well she’s doing in the pool, but Amanda Beard isn’t all that bad looking either.
OK… back to on topic and time to go hunting for medal winners.

Brilliant link. Just brilliant.
Off to oogle.
Watching Poland vs. Japan volleyball, the Polish team has quite a few hotties on it.

Ooooh, thanks! Dibs on Stephanie Rice (photo 8).
Okay, I’d noticed that Natalie Coughlin looked nice in a swim suit – but then I followed a link to see this – just, wow.
