Celebrating Hot Olympic Athletes! (by Catherine Mann)

By
I was always picked last for teams in gym class. And honestly, I can’t blame my classmates. I am woefully uncoordinated. I daydream and walk into walls, stumble off curbs. I’ve learned to shrug and dust myself off.

However, while I’m comfortable in my clumsy skin, I do enjoy seeing others excel in sports. The Olympic Games in London are playing on my flat screen TV as I type, providing plenty of inspiration for our July theme of all things HOT!

With that in mind, I’m celebrating a few especially hot Olympic athletes!

Nick Symmonds (Runner)


Ryan Lochte (Swimmer)


Jordan Burroughs (Wrestler)


And for you historical fans....

Soren Thompson (Fencer)


Whew! (Fanning myself!) Let the games begin!!

    Congrats on your new books, Catherine!

    I too am a klutz. On my one and only day as a cocktail waitress I spilled a beer in a woman's lap.

    Mr. Amazing and I went hiking a lot when we were dating. If there was a log across a river and it was the only way to follow the trail, it was guaranteed I'd wind up in the river. (I learned to bring a change of clothes with me.)

    I'm in awe of athletes.

    I love men's volleyball though I can't decide between indoor & beach. They're strong and flexible with such great arms & legs. I understand klutz. My company volleyball team told me not to bring my shoes during the tournaments.

    I absolutely love the swimming and diving competition. Ryan Lochte is definitely a hot guy. Very cute.

    My Summer Olympics favorite HAS to be gymnastics. (I was a competitive gymnast back in the day.) And I'm just heartsick about American gymnast Jordyn Wieber being edged out of the All Around competition because only two athletes can qualify per team. Grrr.

    Hottest bodies in the games? DIVERS. OMG, the musculature.

    Thanks for several new reasons to love the Olympics! I enjoy watching almost any of the sports but enjoy races both in the pool and on the track.

    Tough choice, but I'd probably have to ultimately say the Winter Olympics because of the ice skating and some of the skiing fun. Love the swimming and gymnastics though.

    Oh I truly watch as much as I can (it's on 5 channels during the day lol).I do love them all but if I had to pick just one it would have to be gymnastics. We didn't have a good last night :( At the moment I am watching men's volleyball and swimming.

    Has to be ice skating. It's so graceful! I'm almost as graceful as a hippo in rollerskates on ice so I appreciate all that form and beauty!

    I enjoy the gymnastics but I am someone who trips over her own feet regularly.

    While I do love the men's swimming comps for the great eye candy not to mention talent, I do have to say my favorite Olympic sport in the summer in the women's beach volleyball and gymnastics... those girls are awesome!

    Volleyball is fun, and ice skating and gymnastics are pretty much the ones I try to catch.
