Why you should watch Olympics or Cat jumps into the shallow end of the pool

Sorry, I'm not going to talk about lofty things like friendly competition bringing the world together blah blah blah. NO!! Let's talk about what's really important-- hot athletes! =)

I actually only bring this up today because today marks 100 days out to the 2012 Summer Olympics and Ralph Lauren, the official designer for the US Olympic Team, released images of the Closing Ceremonies outfits and I stumbled across this delightful image:




Damn, Ryan Lochte is looking fine. If you somehow managed to miss the 2008 Olympics, then you might not know that Ryan Lochte is one of America's best swimmers (though he often gets over looked because NBC often only promotes PHELPS MANIA) and is expected to win big in London-- potentially equaling Phelps' record eight golds. And did I mention he looks really sexy wearing an American flag? Oh yeah. The Telegraph has a great article on Lochte, along with a lot of pretty pictures.

You all know I'm a huge Phelps fan, although let's face it... he looks so much better wearing a Speedo, swim cap, and goggles...




Or even better... swimmers together:




But this isn't all about hot guys touching each other (don't I wish!). Let's not forget the ladies!

What about Misty May Treanor and Kerri Walsh trying for their third consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball?




Conveniently, they also like to touch each other:




Or Natalie Coughlin, one of the most successful female Olympians and a great all-around woman and role model?




Or what about Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi, a top Malaysian shooter who will be 8 months pregnant during the games?

Or Usain Bolt, the fastest man on the planet?

So... watch the Olympics! You have 100 days to clear off your DVR and get ready! Hot athletes and awesome sports!

olympics, sports
