Sorry, Lindsey, I’ve gotta go with Cheryl Bernard.

Clara Hughes.

She’s a Winnipegger (grew up not far from where I’m living now), medal winning (both Summer AND Winter medals), roughly my age (which is old for an Olympian), and most of all a redhead (I have a thing for redheads)

I’ve developed a bit of a crush on speed skater Katherine Reutter.

Torah Bright, then Julia Mancuso (though Mancuso’s diva behavior takes away from her overall allure, IMHO)

Swiss figure skater [Stephane Lambiel](http://web.icenetwork.com/skaters/detail.jsp?id=100185&mode=I). I don’t think he plays for my team, but he’s yummy. 🙂

She finished 11th in skating, but Finnish figure skater [Kiira Korpi](http://static.iltalehti.fi/tampere/kiirakorpi3TI_te.jpg) wins the gold in this category.

Evan Lysacek…pretty sure he doesn’t play for my team either but I thought he was pretty hot.

Both [Team Canada](http://www.thestarphoenix.com/sports/2010wintergames/Team+Canada+wins+hockey+gold+sets+Olympic+record/2624726/story.html) and the USA had a surprising number of hotties on their men’s hockey teams. Crosby’s skills balance out his overbite, and Jarome Iginla and Dan Boyle are way too good looking to be part of such a violent, tooth-breaking, hair-thinning game.

They’re all damned attractive, but the lovely Ms. Bernard has one great advantage: She’s age-appropriate (so I don’t feel like a perv admiring her!).

Oh yeah. Most of them were very cute. I had forgotten about Sidney Crosby,he can park his skates next to my bed anytime.

He had some _interesting_ pictures on the NBC olympics site under his bio… Mmmm… bare chest

May I be the first to compliment you on your exceedingly good taste.

A little closer to my own age, **Allison Pottinger** , vice-skip on the U.S. women’s curling team.

I thought that Danish curler [Madeleine Dupont](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_Dupont) was rather fetching.

Thanks! A Google search tells me Allison Pottinger is closer to my own age as well, but I guess I am just a dirty [strike]old[/strike] approaching middle-aged man.
