Hot Guys on the Men's Gymnastics Team
So here I am sitting and watching the Men's Gymnastics Trials in the 2008 Olympics, and I can't help but to notice that they guys are phenomenally hot. All new, too, and most of them seem to be around my age. Can't wait to see them on Tuesday. I've got a huge crush on Michael Phelps, but it's nice to know that I've got some fallback events to watch for attractive male athletes.
Raj Bhavsar, the first alternate, in one of my favorites so far. I'm not used to the really built Indian guys, but I could definitely get used to them if they all looked like Raj. The arms are especially nice and I loved him on the rings, but for some reason it's the profile views that are most attractive. He's just got a really shapely head, which great on a gymnast because it's completely not necessary. I mean they all have hot bodies but Raj is cute and nice looking even beyond that. I wish there was an actor other than Kal Penn that I could compare him with because Raj is much, much cuter than Kal Penn. Here's a cute pic, and another, and a bonus older final one. (Update: How's I miss this one?)
Alexander Artemev, the other alternate is also hot stuff in a Russian looking sort of way. Apparently his horse routine was what put him below the bar, but watching him just now he was pretty impressive to my layman eye. All sorts of fun flips and spins and almost falls. The commentators were gasping. My favorite pic of him is this one. Here's another good one, and here's a profile pic that doesn't make him look like a zombie.
Kevin Tan is of Chinese descent, and the commentators had a bit of a field day pointing out that he's of Chinese descent in Beijing. Of all the hot guys on the men's gymnastics team, I think I'm least interested in Kevin. Granted, he is still incredibly hot, and he's the team captain. Here are two pictures of him that I think are good (one, two).
Joe Haggerty is actually from not that far away from me, so I'll give this guy the chops for being hot and from the middle of nowhere in New Mexico. It's hard to find pictures of him as "Joe" though, unless you expand it to Joseph. Here's a few of his best pics (one, two, three).
Jonathan Horton on the high bar was really impressive. He's the white bread short spikey hair replacement for the Hamm twins that I've been looking for. He's so adorable. I want to rub his ears for some reason, possibly because he's all of 5'1". Apparently he's the USA all around threat, which means that I should be enjoying plenty more of him. Here are the pics that I like of him (one, two, three, four)
Justin Spring is the cute blond boy. You can see some pictures of him in the articles about him at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign school newspaper here and here. I gotta love the blond spiky hair and all of the shirtless pictures that come up when you Google Image search his name don't hurt either. He's the son of an astronaut too, and here is another DailyIllini article. Definitely another of my favorites. Here are some more pretty pictures of him (one, two, three, four).
Now, I only have one issue with the team so far: Why can't anyone stick a landing? I mean, I realize that the Japanese and Chinese aren't sticking it either, but we're Americans. You're better and cuter than everyone else, and you should be sticking the landings.
Ah, okay, the Russians are coming on. More cuteness, but there's no way I'm going to try to figure out all of their names and spend hours searching them on Google.
Update: Yeah, the last alternate is David Durante, the hot guy that they occasionally flash to in the stands. He's smoking hot, as evidenced by various pictures of him. His profile link is from those in this story.
The team is doing much better now that they're in medal contention . . .
. . . and they get Bronze, I guess. Awesome.
Update 2: I guess it was Silver. And here's a bonus pic. Nice.
