Brendan Hansen's interesting ceremony before the swim?

One is Tony Dumais and the other is Terry Horner. Do I care which?

Looks like Trey Hardee has been in the weight room


We, meaning the USA Olympic team, may be lucky the 6' 5" Hardee never made the Vestavia, AL high school basketball team.

Still hunky Champion decathlet Dan O'Brien gives his ever eloquent assessment of the current field including Hardee in this video clip from his alma mater Oregon.

And Hardee himself gives us a workout by allowing a videotapping of his

Bryan Clay thought his winning performance was the pits. I agree

more Trey Hardee:

as I've said in another thread-whatever happened to jock straps?

not that I'm complaining

Tyson [whose last name some people dare not speak] after winning the 100m in a wind-aided 9.68 for the fastest time under any conditions in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, is congratulated by Walter Dix of Florida State who was second in 9.84.

I don't think you ready for this jelly. Damn!

Ryan Lochte gave Michael Phelps grillz, not girls for his 23rd birthday.

And all the thanks he gets is a pet on the head.

Alexandre Despatie on the cover of L'actualité caught my attention while perusing a news stand today.

Men’s Journal has a cover story about Phelps and Lochte.
Plus a flash photo gallery from the cover shoot

The flash photo gallery with the two of them posing in conventional Speedos are the best!!!

California Dolphin

Ryan has a very nice smile!

Isn't he a dream boat? The abs, the crotch, the face... mmmmm....
but everytime I see him (and get turned on), the next thought is of him in news clips when he was just 12, and I feel creepy about myself.

Just a suggestion. NEVER confuse the sport of rowing with the sport of kayak. Just don't do it. I have respect for the many talented kayakers in the world, but they are completely different disciplines.

Whoa, so sorry! Please forgive my errant alliterative allusion badger:

Rowers are the cool ones


Canoer-kayakers are the hot ones


Did I get it right?

So what if they never get to the Olympics. All decathletes always has to do it all.

But I just love the sound of that loverly Eskimo-y word kayak



Nothing wrong with sexy and mature, like Greek bronze medalist Vassilis Polymeros

Ya gotta admit, these guys ROCK...literally!

Thanks for the pix, sportinlife. I've enjoyed them immensely!

Here are a few pictures of Ben Swain and his partner Nicholas Robinson-Baker, British synchronized divers. They'll be at Beijing.


A Fine Form



I'd be eyebaling the other guy's, not my own!


Four ripe melons for the picking!


I love this picture. Ben's just hangin'!

For Queen and Country, they will make a splash at Beijing!

They've kept a video diary of their "Road to Beijing." Here's a link to it on the Beeb!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7390684.stm

That standing flip that Swain does at the beginning gives some idea of just how athletic these guys are. Nice vid.

There are some Olympian Legs on some decathletes

Belarus decathlete Andrei Krauchanka's two long legs...


...make you almost forget the length of his third leg...

...unless you're German decathlete Andre Nicklaus.

German decathlete Jan Felix Knobel (sitting) shows a lot of leg..


...but Cuban Yordani Garda shows chest and legs..

...and looong may they last.

I ran across the Boston Globe's site "The Big Picture," through another forum. It has stunning photographs. Below are links to Swimming and Diving trials for Beijing. Great eye candy for a variety of tastes. The bodies on the athletes inspire me to push harder in working out. The divers inspire dirty thoughts!


Slicing through the Water


Not an ounce of fat in sight...And you can bounce quarters off those butts!

English Diver Tony Ally

WTF, is it illegal for divers and swimmers to have chest hair or something?

Pretty close. I don't think any olympic level swimmer would risk losing any edge he - or she - can get.

But here's a blog that has a shot of a competitive swimmer who has risked a trail seen here on the right. (The speedo on the left is apparently a retouching of the photo making the speedo look skimpier that it is, but the hairline down the center of the guy on the right is apparently the real thing, unlike the artificially added hair on the crotch of the retouched photo above.)

I doubt he has any intention of going to the Olympics though, and if he did he'd likely lose the trail pretty quick.

Interestingly the photo (the untouched version) is credited to Finneye, a frequent poster of excellent photos here.

He Chong is a gold medalist hopeful for China. He's has one hot bod that I wouldn't mind using a chamois on!

Great Form


Great Tuck


Great Entry


God, how I love well-defined thighs!

In mid-air


He'll give the US team a run for the gold!

Wow to Periklis Iakovakis! Hot.

I agree. Nice set of pecs on Periklis.

One of the competitors, who will be on Michael Phelps' heels is Kenrick Monk of Australia, and boy does this boy send my heart aflutter!

Preparations going swimmingly

The inspired win that inspired the congratulations

The ever-pragmatic German squad are bidding for a fifth place in the medal haul at Beijing - a couple of hopefuls from their homepages:

"He's a freak, like me."

That's how Olympic silver-medalist Brandon Paulson describes Minnesota high-school phenom Jake Deitchler, one of many untested USA wrestlers who will be going to Beijing for their first Olympics. And it's easy to see why:

Roaring to go

Um, I think Beijing is in the opposite direction

Despite his position here, Shannon is not headed there..

..those lip-smacking glutes..

..curvaceous pits..

..and wide-split thighs..

..could not distract the Anoka High grad

Kudos to Finnye for yet another lipsmacking gallery of decathletes. But I have one complaint:

How's a fella to stay on a diet when he keeps tempting him with all that

chocolate

caramel

and ginger?

That ginger one especially was so hot I nearly choked. Is he wearing anything under there?

Damn...who is the fine German brotha standing with the white guys on the track? He is beautiful.

This picture caught my eye...

Hi sportinlife!

Congratulations on choosing the "caramel Number 21!"

He is HOT!

Have noticed him before in one of Finneye's previous Decathlon galleries. I know he is German and I have to admit that I think he is one of the most beautiful athletes I have ever had the privilege of viewing.

Hope he makes it to China for the German Decathlon team, although they do have depth in talent! Hope he does not miss out!

Perhaps we could persuade Finneye to devote a whole "spread" to the guy. He is simply amazing!

Bring on The Olympics!

Marius Broening was on the 2005 German 4x100 squad. His short wiki bio is here. But there's lots of this hunky stud from his website:

Hanging out with buddies

Looking like an oldtime gangsta

Oh that smile

No comment

I don't think he's on the team to Beijing this year. Other's will be carrying the wieght. But there are lots more photos of him to enjoy on that site.

Thanks. I love the picture with him bent over, smiling. He is so pretty, and has beautiful lips. And he has a phat ass, too. Marius Broening is my new crush.
