Top 5: Olympic Hotness Monsters

The Olympics began on Friday and I've been watching. I freaking love the Olympics. The sport! The pageantry! The hot, super fit dudes! So, in true GitW style, here are the top 5 hottest men spotted this weekend in Vancouver:

Armin Zoeggeler
- The Italian Lugeman (that's a word, right?) kept me watching a sport I'd never really thought about before. Zoeggler is really, really good looking, like many of the Luge athletes, which takes us to...

Shiva Keshavan Kannan Palan - We could obviously never be married (seriously, that name is out of control!), but Shiva is proof my Indian phase is still in full effect *cat sound*

Robin Szolkowy - The German pairs figure skater is the first person of color I can remember seeing in a big figure skating competition. He's breaking barriers!!! Plus, he's super dreamy and bears a slight resemblance to my ex-boyfriend, Matt Kemp. (P.S. His partner's not bad either.)

Dario Cologna - This cross-country skier from Switzerland won gold...and we all won the chance to gaze into his adorable face.

Bode Miller - Amidst great hype, he was a bust in 2006, but he returned to Alpine skiing and the Olympics with a renewed sense of purpose. He's kind of the OG Olympics hotness monster and I, for one, was glad to see him again. USA! USA!

Feel free to discuss your picks, male and female, in the comments.

I've spent my morning watching curling - like you do - and there's a guy on the German team named Andreas Lang who is hott. Google him.

Ah, Red! You always make me smile. I was kind of digging both of the guys from the Russian pairs figure skating teams.

I understand what you mean about the German guy, but unlike his resemblance to your...ahem...ex-boyfriend, he really does look like MY high school boyfriend! So, alas, I cannot go there...

Robin Szolkowy? I guess you missed these two...

I just posted about Brian Joubert. In his underwear.

Hey, that rhymed!

Anyway, holy Lord that guy's hot.

I have to go with that Canadian temptress Jenn Heil, who does moguls skiing. She came in second to an American, but she comes second to no one in cuteness.

Also...any hockey player. Hot.

Brian Joubert caught my eye as well, Becks. Too bad he fell and made sad French faces.
