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](http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/2/235822.shtml) - Silver American swimmer [Lacey Nymeyer](http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/0/221480.shtml) - Silver Czech shooter [Katerina Emmons](http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/8/205338.shtml) - Gold Italian cyclist [Tatiana Guderzo](http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/5/207375.shtml) - Bronze Turkish weightlifter [Sibel Ozkan](http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/9/233559.shtml) - 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? ---

I offer for your contemplation Chinese diver (gold medalist in the 3m springboard synchronized competition) [Guo Jingjing](http://www.china-8.com/schools/chinese/pages/images/el041104038.jpg). Oh, she’s [pretty ripped](http://www.usadiver.com/images/divers/guo_jinging_wc_03.jpg) when [diving](http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/gyzg/W020040827772894389250.jpg), too. :eek: ---

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 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=wheresgeorge04] I’m waiting for Maria Sharapova to be on the stand… [/QUOTE] You’ll have to wait at least four more years, as she’s not in the Beijing Olympics. From [this page,](http://www.itftennis.com/olympics/news/newsarticle.asp?articleid=19065) you can access the draws (warning: PDF, and the women’s singles and doubles links are reversed). ---

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](http://www.pixcetera.com/kol/olympics-field-hockey-pictures/6143). ---

Does it have to be medalists? Sadly, I don’t think [Marilou Dozois-Prevost](http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/5yDU2WOK0Xy/Olympics+Day+1+Weightlifting/BRiPG-whm_-/Marilou+Dozois+Prevost) won anything. ---

Don’t know how well she’s doing in the pool, but [Amanda Beard](http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/new_media/espn_getting_olympic_sex_advice_79751.asp) isn’t all that bad looking either. OK… back to on topic and time to go hunting for medal winners. ---

Okay, I’d noticed that Natalie Coughlin looked [nice in a swim suit](http://assets.espn.go.com/media/pg2/2002/1105/photo/g_coughlin_i.jpg) – but then I followed a link to see [this](http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/natalie-coughlin-1.jpg) – just, wow.
