Sure they’re really into some sport or another and that’s adorable, but couldn’t those swimmers’ builds and runners’ thighs be put to better use naked and in your bed? Add your fave Olympic males here – please include pics to support your claim (as with [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=479706), feel free to include old school crushes, but please include links to pics so we can all laugh at their hair). To start things off, here’s [Roger Federer](http://www.styletraxx.com/roger-federer-ax.jpg) looking like a cologne model (in a good way). ---

I realize that Federer pic is a little deceiving in the context of the thread title (sexy, yes, but sweaty, not so much), so here’s volleyballer [Sean Rosenthal](http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/224/507217565_1407f0af97.jpg%3Fv%3D0&imgrefurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/hermosawave/507217565/in/set-72157600237345907/&h=500&w=400&sz=88&hl=en&start=9&um=1&tbnid=4yX7tFc5bAYivM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsean%2Brosenthal%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN) looking tanned and tight. ---

SInce I was unable to follow directions in the other thread, I’ll repost here: Old school: [Mark Spitz](http://iaingraham.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/0248.jpg). [Greg Louganis](http://bp2.blogger.com/_9r5JCzQnZyA/Rq_cjod3t5I/AAAAAAAAAJE/WPjNZgvHWlw/s1600-h/Greg_Louganis_03.jpg) (mildly NSFW). Vast numbers of the gymansts and aquatics guys who’ve ever competed. New school, Michael Phelps is the only Olympian I can even name off the top of my head. I’m not watching the Olympics this year. ---

Nearly all the swimmers are driving me crazy this year. I love them! I’m so sad swimming is over. Here’s a brief sampling of my favorites [Eamon Sullivan](http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2008/02/18/eamonsullivan_wideweb__470x363,0.jpg) [Ryan Lochte](http://www.daytonabeachswimming.org/images/ryanpage.jpg) [Aaron Piersol](http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/09uH2YK8yk6MQ/340x.jpg) [Gregor Tait](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EzqIwy0Z8_Q/SJvCWVRT0bI/AAAAAAAAAhw/CU2rRv31nQQ/s400/fff%2Bgt.jpg) (slight NSFW). ---

i second otto’s vote on mr. louganis. not only the awesome bod, he has one of the best smiles around, and very nice manners. there were some quite wonderful (and medal winning) danish rowers on my tv earlier today. rowers are right up there with water polo players. ---
