I haven’t been following the Games and I’d never heard of her before. She does have an amazing face. Stunningly beautiful.

Either Allison or the skip Debbie McCormick. Curlers are yummy.

I was going to suggest her too, though that’s not a very flattering action shot of her. The bikini’s are much better!

Not exactly sure which team you’re on but if you are of the boobed persuasion I think you [might have a shot](http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Golden-couple-figure-skater-Evan-Lysacek-and-gy?urn=oly,221306).

Yep,I’m of the boobed persuasion:) My gaydar didn’t ping when I first laid eyes on Evan. Very handsome guy.

I can’t decide between Evan Lysacek, Shaun White & Apolo Ohno. They all are very nice boys. 🙂

I thought Catriona Le May Doan looked good carrying the torch and in her speed skating commentaries. She’s not an Olympian of 2010 though.

Definitely Evan.Lysacek. And I’m hoping the rumors are true.

Off topic, but doesn’t [Meryl Davis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meryl_Davis) look exactly like a Na’vi? I know I’m not the only one to think it. I think she did an Ice Dancing routine about Home Tree.

I’m with you. I just don’t buy that he and Nasty are doing anything but staring into each other’s eyes.

FWIW, my gaydar was ringing off the hook the moment I first heard Evan speak, bless his feather-festooned wrists! I’m wishing you sweet dreams, **Panache**! (And what is that rumor, anyway? You guys can’t leave us hanging on like that!)

As for me, the first guy who came to mind was Shoni Davis. I just really admire, respect, and maybe slightly panty-wet over this one. (And I’m not black and I’ve never dated one.) On a purely physical level, almost all male Olympians are truly lust-worthy, but let’s face it, a lot of these guys are also kind of flaky, self-absorbed, narcissistic, or whatever… or there’s something really weird and skeevy (or maybe just off-putting or boring) about their sport (lugers, and especially you pair-lugers, and curlers, I’m talking about you, sorry!).

Shoni just strikes me as being a better _person_ than most… I hope I’m not wrong about that.

If you live in New Jersey and you heard a female voice yelling “C’mon, Shoni, turn it up, now! …Go, Shoni, go! Go, Shoni, go! You’ve got it, baybeee…” – er, that was me. :o

OH. HELL. YES.

She could easily have copped multiple golds, silvers, and bronzes in any “fine-ass chick” competition…and I’d happily serve as a judge on that panel and then head straight to my bunk afterwards (hopefully with her in tow).
