Apolo Ohno, without a doubt. He is so adorable! ETA - I wish he’d shave off that silly facial hair though. It just reinforces that he’s way too young for me. ---

Why is this thread still going, the OP got it right on the first try? While watching Cheryl Bernard I inadvertently became a curling fan. Maybe if I were younger I’d be staring at the British skip. The Canada vs Britain game gave me the best of both worlds. ---

I enjoyed watching [John Morris](http://www.teamkevinmartin.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bio_jmorris.jpg) do pretty much anything at all. [Lucas Makowsky](http://www.speedskating.ca/images/members/Lucas%20Makowsky.jpg) is also rather adorable (speed skater - won gold in the 5000m pursuit). There was one guy on the Italian team that I only saw during the opening ceremonies, or at least didn’t recognize him if I saw him in an event, who was smoking hot, but I have no clue who he is, so I can’t link to a photo. I’m also a sucker for hockey players, but I figure I’ll leave this thread for the non-pro athletes! ---

> [@lexi](#): > > Jon Montgomery is just a sexy man - even unshaven! > [http://www.jonmontgomery.ca/Home](http://www.jonmontgomery.ca/Home) +1. I’m totally crushing on him. He was so cute at his medal ceremony. Oh, and the entire US and Canadian mens hockey teams. But I don’t want to be greedy… ---

Damn, missed the edit window. And yes, even US goalie [Ryan Miller](http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=2478/index.html). He’s adorable in a Mr. Potatohead sort of way. ---

The pursuit is not 5000m, it is 8 laps (5000 is 12.5) and all innerlanes, so around 3000 - but not exactly…anyway, I reiiterate: Hege Bokko and Tina Maze, although I can live with the finish figure skater (shouldn’t have skipped watching that event :o) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hottest-winter-olympian-2010/530925.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hottest-winter-olympian-2010/530925.md?page=4)
