I don’t care if they won any color of medal, what country they competed for, if they were in the Winter or Summer games, or even if they’re now dead and gone. The only rules: they were on an Olympic team and they’re female. So who are/were the all-time babes of the women who have competed? Some of my nominees: (Current) Jennie Finch, Women’s softball:[http://images.askmen.com/imagesmodel/2003\_aug/jennie\_finch/jennie\_finch\_150.jpg](http://images.askmen.com/imagesmodel/2003_aug/jennie_finch/jennie_finch_150.jpg) (All-time) Nicole Bobek: [http://pagesperso-orange.fr/icegallery/nb.jpg](http://pagesperso-orange.fr/icegallery/nb.jpg) Katarina Witt: [http://www.agso.lunarpages.com/SH/babes/katarina%20witt.gif](http://www.agso.lunarpages.com/SH/babes/katarina%20witt.gif) And of course, Anna Kournikova: [http://www.ladiesgallery.net/pictures/AnnaKournikova\_12.jpg](http://www.ladiesgallery.net/pictures/AnnaKournikova_12.jpg) ---

[Misty May and Kerri Walsh](http://www.mistyandkerri.com/) can pose for my swimsuit issue any time! Some of the gymnasts are cute, but my favorite this year is [Alicia Sacramone](http://www.mtv.co.uk/channel/mtvuk/news/439768-alicia-sacramone-is-hot). Don’t know if it’s the big shoulders or what, but she is truly hawt! ---

Mia Hamm was the first name that came to my mind. I’d also nominate Iris & Felicia Zimmerman. ---

[Shannon](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/misc/parade7.jpg) [Miller](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/misc/a-sm8.jpg). I had such a crush on her. ---

I know it is from strength training, plus she’s Italian which means she will have a full beard by the time she’s 30 (just kidding!) It seems like she is hot in every shot except the close ups of her face which shows her, did I mention?, thick neck? My vote is for Nastia Luikin. Just that first name makes me think of the word nasty. ---

Vast numbers of the gymansts and aquatics people 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. ---

The 08 Gymnasts are undeniably _cute_ but they’re a little young aren’t they! In the entire Olympic games what you see look like adults, with the exception of Gymnastics where what you see appear more like children than adults. ---
