So I on the front page of the sports section of my paper today there was this picture:
Olympic champ Crawford

It definetly had my attention, you don't usually find such a great picture like that in my newspaper.

Oh, there was an actual article with that picture.

Kujhawker, thanks for posting the links to Crawford! Mmm mmmhh, that young man looks good!

Throwing up may be the least of his problems if he keeps up that sort of thing.

He could earn more money lap-dancing on the gay circuit: less physical stress and...no fondling allowed. wink

Roaring Leonard Scott s full of muscle (or is he roaring because the safety pins are pearcing through his skin too?)
Leonard seems to be bursting out of his singlet all over

Aaron Cleare is a leaner type, except for those arms and shoulders!

My favorite Finnish Track athlete, sprinter Markus Pöyhönen, was running for Finland at Penn Relays last weekend.

He also participated the Finnish version of Dancing with the Stars, and you can watch him rehearsing the dances and having fun via YouTube .

Other countries get Brody and Markus and we only get Jerry Rice? That just doesn't seem fair.

Markus is a total hottie. Thanks for the find Finn!

Thanks, sportinlife, for the great collection!

I've only got two or three (ehh...) minor things to add.

Kelly Willie anchors LSU 4 x 400-meter relay to victory - and he’s obviously got magnificent talent for that.

Derrick Harpe of Claflin is also very talented and does his triple jump with grace.

And there are never too many pictures of Asafa Powell around.

And finally a quick look at Drake Relays:
Oh GOOOOD, I just love Wisconsin, it's totally awesome!

[ May 16, 2006, 03:23 AM: Message edited by: Finneye ]

Hardly minor additions as you well know Finneye. Those are worth storing for a later (ahem..) review.

LSU's Willie is hot. Harpe is even hotter. And that Powell pic is off the scale.

Think I need to cool off. :cool:

Then again, screw cooling off .

A newsflash from France:
the guys are hot there this summer too.
They start their trainig young - in particular, take note of the boy to the right in this training camp picture. He must already be thinking of his performance later that day.

Come night, the entertainment in chic french style starts. They dress very properly and never forget that underwear must always match the rest of your appearance.

So are they a couple?

Would that it were true! But I suspect not. The photos are from a story about their cooperation in a program of elite T&F athletes (the Golden League) to promote the IAAF. But that picture of them laying on the ground holding that a soccer ball (to take advantage of the popularity of the upcoming World Cup maybe?) certainly does look chummy and suggestive to the active imagination. wink

My power couple for today:

Damn, Sportinlife, when I saw the huge variety of hot men in several posts upthread (and in the World Cup soccer thread), I knew they had to be from you and I was right. You've got some serious good taste.

Please stop posting all these hot-as-hell photos -- I've looking at this at the library and they're making want some serious "me time"!

Seriously though, the variety is just to my taste, so keep 'em coming!

[ June 13, 2006, 04:22 PM: Message edited by: NewYorkVenus ]

Please, please NewYorkVenus, get thee to a private place before practicing the five-finger waltz. I DO NOT want to be accused a leading yet another young man into the misery of self-abuse...unless I can personally give instruction. wink

Take these with you to that private place:

Did I mention that I want to know where that park is?

Let's take a break and feast on Asafa coasting to a win in his 100 heat

Interviewer: \"Andreas could you please explain to us why you aren't interested in this gorgeous blonde athlete sitting next to you\"

Thorkildsen: \"Er, umm, uhhh. Well you see it's like, uh.........I'm uhh... I'm allergic to strawberries. Yeah that's it. The strawberries. Next question\"

I want to know how you get a javelin thrower into this postion without a spear

Let's take another break to see Jeremy Wariner hiding his bulge....BORING

Guess we'll just have to deal with Andreas and his spear...

AND his bulge

[ June 17, 2006, 09:24 AM: Message edited by: sportinlife ]

Another great photo of Darrold Willamson and his... ahem... stride.

Did I ever mention my special admiration of pole vaulting and vaulters?

France has produced several astonishing athletes of that discipline, not just Jean Galfione. (Remind me of returning to my other shots of him later.)

A great French vaulter and (surprise surprise) model is Romain Mesnil, 29 this year.

He’s got natural talent for jumping high
and posing for photos.

A 22-year-old Romain.

Point your pole to the sky and your eyes to the box.

How about six Romains?
I’d rather have all seven.

A recent photo from this month.

And a link to his official homepage.

Wow Finneye,both Galfione and Mesnil are stunning.Thanks for those beautiful photos.

The Italian relay team showing what they’ve got at the European Cup in Athletics in Malaga, Spain (please also note the Finnish contribution in the background!)
... and again, just in case you missed the first showing.

More Italian beauty.

Love to hold your baton.

Love to hold you, caro mio!

American-Italian Andrew Howe in action.

... and at ease.

Bravo Finneye! You are truly a gifted photographer.

I think I'll have Greek to celebrate the fourth

And 400 m hurdler Periklis Iakovakis looks like a tasty entree

And Greeks always have great marbling

But there's only one hurdler luscious enough for dessert

Thanks for the recognition, although I hope you didn't mean any of the recent photos linked by me in this very thread - except the one with Galfione. All others I just found in the Internet... My own photos I usually mark with the Finneye logo.

Oops! I thought those were your photos as well.

LOL...I knew these weren't taken by Finneye.

To be this close to these 4 Italians hotties and keep a steady hand? You'd HAVE to be heterosexual.

A quick look back at the USATF Outdoor Championships:

Well hello to you too, Cordera Jenkins!

Calvin Smith is definitely a rising star, with that name, body and attitude I am sure he’ll be shining brightlty.

But the Best Bulge Trophy in this contest goes to Chris Tindle. (Only wish I could have seen that live!)

Beautiful form of Linus Thörnblad, Swedish high jumper

Romanian triple jumper Marian Oprea should not have to sniff his own pits...alone

USA's Terrence Trammell, first winner of the both the hurdles and foot race at 60 meters - not to mention a few hearts

And for those of us who sometimes like them just a little hairy (don't we all?) Triple jumper Dmitriy Valyukevich of Slovakia

Now let's forget all about football (soccer, I mean) and go back to the guys in tights. The uncrowned king of them all is Asafa Powell, but where are these guys taking him? Stop, he is mine!!

Well, at least I can watch him on this impressive video from Golden League Paris where he ran one of his gold medals in 100m.

I don't know finneye. I think the guy on Powell's left has got him covered. He could certainly cover me.

Someone else who could make good cover

That's Japanese for \"I'm hotter than tempura\"

Japanese Hammer-tosser Koji Murofushi looking hot in that Hawaiian headgear

Not to be critical but...he is wearing a wreath of Laurel.
It was the traditional head dress of an Olympic Champion long before they gave medals out!

Not to be touchy but I was joshing.

I guess I should have made it more obvious by putting a face afterward.

Hope you like the photo though. Koji's so :cool:

Andrew Howe (Besozzi) was born in Los Angeles in 1985 as son of Renee Felton, an American hurdler of Caribbean origin, and Andrew Howe senior, a former American football player. Little Andrew moved to Italy with his mother after her second marriage with Ugo Besozzi, and lives ever since in the small town of Rieti in Central Italy. His main disciplines are 200 m and long jump.

Andrew (second from left) clearly enjoys hanging out with his Italian buddies...

He doesn’t have any problem with posing for photographs alone either
and considering that body and that face who would?

He is the World Youth Champion of 2004 in long jump
and in 200 m.

At the Outdoor World Championships last year in Helsinki
he made it to the 200 m quarter-finals.

and at the Moscow Indoor Championships he finished with long jump bronze after Ghana's Gaisah and Panama's Saladino.

Check out his website with a great photo gallery and desktops.

Judging from the photo I'm guessing their all right-handed except the guy on our left. Somebody loves him in Italy dubbing him King Andrew I. But I hope they realize the Oscar is for acting. Jeremy Wariners is the real McCoy at 400m.

PS - An Italian high-jumper in your favorite position.

[ July 17, 2006, 03:33 PM: Message edited by: sportinlife ]

Being not very good at reading things upside down I thought a while that the word across his chest said ERECTIO. Anyhow, esercito is more or less the Italian equivalent for 'army'.

By the way, Andrew Howe works for the Italian Air Force, and if you'd for some peculiar reason like to promote them by sending a post card, but not one showing a fighter jetplane, you can choose a more peaceful one with Andrew’s picture instead.

And as Wariner is the king of 400, Andrew is the king of both 200 and long jump
