I'm not really into track and field but there were some great-looking guys in these recent posts! Thanks a lot. I always thought Dan O'Brien was so incredibly beautiful: he really should have received more attention over the years. If anyone has any more pictures of Dan my guess is that I wouldn't be the only one who'd love to see them!

Speaking about Longhorns, Trackshark has again the images from this year’s Texas Relays, and here are some highlights

perfect concentration

Irec Sekretarski comes from Poland

don’t let him go now (not that he’d want to)

bet they cut each other’s hair

great thighs in light blue

got that jockstrap stolen again?

lots of track action going on

careful not to drop it now

too late...

hurdler Raven Cepeda

impressive in purple

all black and all white

love that hair!

Lauri Kalima is a Finnish sprinter, who used to train together with Markus Pöyhönen. Like Markus, Lauri's got talent for modeling career as well, and lately he has been more active on that front.


Some portfolio samples of Lauri:

first

second

third

and a Russian gallery with pictures of him

Lauri Kalima is nothing short of breathtakingly gorgeous. Thanks for sharing Lauri with us, so far from his beauty.

If you look carefully at that first pic (careful not to drop it now) it's obvious what was probably weighing that runner down: a case of excessive baggage between the legs.

Too late is right. Leaves me pining for those good old college days when watching the track stars was my favorite sport.

Some others from the same relay I like

James Jerry would make a great model for the Silver Surfer

Duane Solomon, DeSean Solomon, Irek Sekretarski, Raphael Asafo-Agyei, Irek is the one with the wet trail and gapped teeth

Derek Taylor needs a lift - those pits are good place to grab him

You might want to think about jumping pretty soon now Daryl Zavesky..

..something like this

Another demonstration by Brandon Buteaux

Makes you want to be a landing pit

ditto. That guy with the sunglasses sure has a cushy job

Hmm, I think she's auditioning for Texas relay faghag

Uhh, four hands are better than one, or two, or even three.

Two would be sufficient to handle Chris Carter. Careful of those Mormon missionaries

Hi There Sportinlife & Finneye!

You guys are "The Best"! Assume you both must be USA-based as the majority of your photography is centred on American Track. For someone living in London, UK, the pictures are new, original and incredibly beautiful! Not to say, horny! Basically I have to make-do with the IAAF Site. Good as it is, it simply cannot offer the depth or breadth that you two guys do.

I am still eager to sample any pictures of track from other decades, particularly hurdlers, long and triple jumpers and sprinters from the 50's onwards.

The recent photos of Larry Myricks were OUTSTANDING. Handsome-plus!

How about Bobby Morrow, Mel Patton, Bob Mathias, Steve Riddick, Tommie Smith, Earl Young,................and of course, Renaldo Nehemiah?


Keep up the good work fellas! You have a true fan here!

Can't wait for Sanchez, Bramlett, Robles and co. to start their season!

Many thanks,

Superman

Cheers, Superman! I'm happy to tell you that I'm your fellow European, I live in Helsinki Finland. I also try as much as possible to post pictures of European athletes, as well as pictures I've taken myself. There are several great European sites with athletes' pictures, like the Italian federation FIDAL and the French Athle.

Luckily, the Internet does not recognize political borders, the only difference is in the time zones and of course some barriers based on different languages.

You can see some new as well as vintage photos from the early 80's (including my shots of Larry Myricks from 24 years ago in Helsinki) in my Flickr galleries.

Hope you'll find them enjoyable! I'll try to digitize more of my old stuff and post them in the Flickr site once I get round to it...

Thanks for the props Superman. Unlike Finneye I am not a professional and have only an occassional interest in historical photos which I find technically less satisfying than the modern, though sometimes gaudier, ones.

For me good photos are good art and I prefer my art realist in general. Hence the preference for more realistic modern photos but earlier graphic works: both enhance nature rather than avoiding it.

As for sites, tradeshark and IAAF are my most frequent haunts, but I can be a relentless surfer. Some of my favorite stumbled-upons turn out to be of Aussie origin. Australia is very sports oriented and the pics are often good technical quality.

For instance here is the blog of an Aussie Beef fan who I happened upon after reading your post

And here are some pics I like from the 2006 Commonwealth games held in Melbourne a year ago March:

Aussie synchronized divers Robert Newbery and Steven Barnett about to sit down hard

Ally and Shipman could be a couple of studs out on the town without their leather gear

Your countryman Dan Macey does his best imitation of a tattooed screaming queen

One could make fun of the name Brent Newdick if he weren't so good with that big Maori-looking spear.

Can't blame Canada's Arturo Miranda for watching mouth agape at fellow diver Alexandre Despatie

Skinny Aussie Jason Dudley's hairy chest and big...disc

Fellow Aussie Kyle Vander Kuyp is either really happy to be hurdling or has a lot of wind in those shorts

Oh, and welcome to the board. Enjoy.

Thanks Finneye!

Great to know you are a fellow European.

Thanks for your Gallery too...............some superb eye-candy there! Agree totally, that America does not have it ALL! I have admired Andrew Howe for some years now and also Darren Campbell and Chris Lambert. Truly pleased that you have picked-up on Lambert too. Decathletes are pretty HOT as well, at this moment in time.

Enjoy all your photos. Without wishing to pry too deeply, are you a pro. photographer and is Track your main interest? Understand your interest in Swimming too.

Have you any pictures of Pedroso, the superb Cuban long-jumper?

Came face to face with Felix Sanchex at Crystal Palace two seasons ago. Talk about heart-stopping! Such a truly handsome man!

Cannot wait for the Track season to start in Europe. Am aiming to spend a week at The Berlin Worlds in 2009.

Again, thank you sincerely, for your response. Keep up the tremendous work. Look forward to seeing more of your output very soon.

Here's to Track & Field and EVERYTHING in-between!!

Superman

Hi Sportinlife!

Thanks for the contact.

As with Finneye, your output is sensational, particularly the American Track scene. Keep up the good work.

Agree that the Aussies do have a very interesting perspective on photographing their athletes. They seem unafraid to show the most "upfront" of their guys and as always, their inherent confidence must play its part.

Have enjoyed watching John Steffenson, Ross, and a couple of their long jumpers. And Patrick Johnson still cuts the mustard!

There is a young Afro-American hurdler who this last season ran on the European circuit. Is his name Merricks? Have you any pictures of that fine young man?

Going back to Oz...........Kyle Van Der Kuyp was a hero of mine................and probably one of the last hurdlers to continue to enjoy wearing shorts and a jock. A handsome man indeed!

Anyway, thanks for the terrific shots................the will keep me occupied for some time.

This is a terrific BOARD! So pleased I discovered it!

Superman (UK)

If you look really carefully, I think you can see the butt strap line of the guy's jock strap underneath his spandex singlet. I think that's incredibly hot. I remember seeing some other picture of a pole vaulter wearing orange spandex--from Tennessee, I think--and you could clearly see the outline of his jock.

Speaking of hot hurdlers, one of my favorites is Anier Garcia of Cuba, who won the 2000 gold medal in the 110 hurdles in Sydney, and finished with the bronze in Athens. He's always stripping his shirt off, showing that hairy, toned chest!

Heh!

Congratulations on the Garcia photos. Yes, he is one virile man. I also love the fact that he is balding, adding to his undoubted masculinity. Cuba has produced some superb hurdlers over the years; not only brilliant, technically, but "lookers" too! ....... Casanas, Garcia, Robles and co.

Thanks for the great pictures.

Superman (UK)

P.S. The fourth picture down from the top is HORNY-PLUS!!!!

Like the fact that he wears shorts/jock/briefs. Wowee!

Superman (UK)

Hi Superman. In reply to your question, I'm in no way a professional photographer. I've just always taken photos for my own great pleasure and if somebody else likes them too, I'm just glad! Most Track&Field athletes are so photogenic and that's why I like to shoot them whenever I get the change. The swimming pictures in the Outsports gallery are from the European Short Course Championships held in Helsinki last December, so the location was convenient enough for me. At the moment I don't know of any major events coming up in my area but I'm sure the summer will bring along something nice!

The Garcia photos are just superb, I wish I'd get a change to take some pictures of him sometime. Sometimes people claim the old fashioned running shorts to be too unsexy and dull. To provide additional evidence of the contrary, let me just enclose a link to a picture of an unknown athlete I took in August 1983.
It is an authentic example of the hotness of NOT wearing spandex.
You may not see so much details, but it certainly speeds up your imagination! (Although I feel tempted to do some photoshopping with that picture, it really is the untouched original!)

Thanks Finneye!

The contact was really appreciated. The 1983 photo certainly does prove a great deal. Superb! Perhaps it is just that tiny glimpse of white jock/briefs that "does the trick" for me, but I can safely say that I long for the day when more track and field dudes, revert to wearing the shorts and briefs/jock combination. Not that I am anti-spandex! God forbid! But there is a certain looseness and innocence about the shorts and jock combo, that really stimulates me.

I remember once having a face-on, very large picture of the beautiful Renaldo Nehemiah, in action. He was hurdling at full tilt and the cup of his jock was completely exposed. That was something else, I can tell you. Maybe if I hunt around, I can find it and publish it on the Track & Field Board. Amazing.

Have you any photos of the American sprinter, Maurice Spearman? Another extremely horny athlete.

Like you, cannot wait for the outdoor track season to really kick-off. What is it about athletics that seems to attract an endless stream of handsome and virile guys?

Long may their arrogance and pride in their physical beauty continue to stimulate us!

And keep up the great work. Love your pictures.

Thanks once again!

A little taste of the ACC Championships - Cowin Mills helped Clemson get 4x400 win

Hi Sportinlife!

Great picture of Mr Mills! Keep up the good work.

Check out the latest IAAF pages as there are superb photos of Bershawn Jackson and Jeremy Wariner in eraly-season action. Neither athlete has lost their "sparkle"!

Superman (UK)

White spandex has its own merits…

At least when worn by somebody like Lionel Larry, with bulging cheeks and more

or Kai Kelley (how does he manage to keep his balance with that extra weight to the left?)

or Jason Price

Even red can be just fine, as proved by Russell Ellis

Not to speak of the traditional Asafa-style Nike outfit, this time on Anwar Moore

Not to forget the light blue, bringing out the best of Erison Hurtault

Contrast as fashion statement:

Short distance runner Stephen Register's (of small college Belmont Bruins) fair blonde physique is set off by a dark navy blue singlet:



Kerron Clement, you should buy yourself a white singlet and wear it all the time...

..except when you wear the official IAAF uni..

..which by the way has an interestingly placed silver patch on the inner right thigh - seen more clearly here on Jeff Hartwig

Methinks that IAAF may have noticed something about the heightened interest in that area of athletes bodies - as we have - and wants to draw more attention to it to promote the...sport.

Hi Finneye!

Loved the latest set of Track shots. The Larry and Kelley photographs were particularly IMPRESSIVE!

Tell me, if you are Finland-based where do you get hold of the pictures of American University and College jocks? Do you travel over there to take them or do you use a specific Website? Have to say the standard is fantastically high.

Keep it up! Your pictures do that for me!

Superman (UK)





Hi Sportinlife.

Have seen the photo of Clement hurdling before. It is a beauty. Just hope he manages to race frequently this season and give us the opportunity to admire his many attributes.

Superman (UK)

In our modern world traveling has become obsolete
Unfortunately, I too have to work to pay for my daily bread and soup plus the Internet connection... so I mainly stay in my native Finland.

The World Wide Web will take you anywhere! For American track and field photos you can search for instance these great sites:

http://trackandfieldphoto.com/PastSchedule2.php

http://www.trackshark.com/photos/

http://www.imageofsport.com/gallery/track/

(The last one obviously cooperates with Trackshark and they have a lot of same pictures)

Hi Finneye!

Thanks for the list of Track Websites. Spent some extremely "meaningful" time checking them out. You obviously choose the very best pictures to transfer to Outsports and I most certainly admire your taste(s)!

Note that the Felix Sanchex Memorial Track Meeting is due to take place very soon. Do hope that his Royal Bulge-ness is fit enough to compete this season. I for one, have sorely missed his talent, beauty, physique and bulge. Long may he reign!

Thanks once again for the sites.........and keep up the fantastic work!

Cheers!

Drop dead gorgeous

Don't normally like posting photos with digital watermarks, but this photographer seems to have a certain audience in mind with this photo. The guy in the white compression shorts could certainly fit into my kind of "oreo cookie":

Hi Sportinlife!

Sincere thanks for the latest set of pictures. Up to your usual high standard in terms of taste and interest.

Have to say that both Ross and Jelks are wonderful specimens of Track beauty! Just wish that Ross was not wearing two sets of spandex shorts. He may need the support but it disguises his masculinity. Shame!

Anyway, here's to many more excellent choices on the Track & Field scene.


Superman (UK)




Sorry Sportinlife!

The two sets of spandex apply to Mr Johnson.

Ross is still a beauty!

Superman

Gambia-born Swedish pole vaulter Alhaji Jeng

Nearly smooth pits on nearly perfect form

Baby-faced beauty

Doing wonders for that yellow shirt

Not enough wind to blow those shorts off

Question for your German speakers: How did German decathlete Andre Nicklaus get those scars on his right arm?. From birth, injury or an infection?

Well, I don't speak German, but I sure see what you mean. Whatever it is that caused those scars, it could not have been pleasant. It almost looks like a burn wound. He's still really hot...what a shock of hair!

Last weekend, Paul Terek was the clear winner in decathlon at the 20th edition of the Multistars IAAF Combined Events Challenge meeting in Desenzano del Garda, Italy.


Some more pictures of him at this event:

first

second

third

fourth

fifth

and last but not least...

That "third" photo is a great example of sport photography as art. I love the way it captures the mental process of athletic preparation. No one can know for certain what takes place in the mind of a winner (not even the athlete him/herself IMO), but that's what separates them from all the other highly developed specimens they are up against in any given competition.

I'll admit my attention also lingered on "and last but not least" for a while too. Only because it hints of his religious orientation.

That singlet color , the hair and the lack of any visible jock-ular support suggests the man likes being looked at too.

Hi Finneye!

Thanks for the photos of Decathlete Terek. Up to your usual high standard.

Have you any more of other participatnts in the same Decathlon?

Don't know if you felt this too, but photo No.3 would not have looked out of place in Leni Riefenstahl's 1936 classic Olympics movie, OLYMPIA! He certainly has the colouring and hairstyle to have represented a number of European nations at those ill-fated Games!

Keep up the good work.....................you frequently "make my day"!

Superman (UK)

I agree, Paul's hairstyle has become much more innovative than it used to be... and not in a bad way! Makes him look much more relaxed and self confident at the same time. It seems the weather wasn't very warm either in Italy, and that's why he is in some of the pictures wearing a cute hat.

There is more pics (267 to be exact) where those came from... such as this:


But you can see them all in the multistars.org gallery!

and last but not least...

This one is my fav...CLEAR VPL! I would say he is "jewish" if you catch my drift....

Terek is one magnificent specimen.

Hi Finneye!

Thanks for the link to the Decathlon Gallery. Some superb photos there.

Can you identify the Decathlete in photo number 7 (or the second of the vertical pictures). He is later seen in all-black gear. What an amazingly beautiful specimen of manhood. Boy, what a "looker"! Pheew! Where has he been until now?

Keep up the great work.

Enjoy your photos of BECKS as well..........and Christiano really does take some beating!

From Finneye's link to multistars:

Two Dutch Treats - Matti Mononen..



...and Laurens Looije

Err... Dutch?

Matti Mononen was a Finn the last time I checked, and I believe it hasn't changed since
Do we need to restart the punishment game from earlier this year to teach you the lesson once and for all

To prove his nationality, two years back Matti coloured part of his blond hair with the other (besides white) national colour of Finland.


A common feature he has with David Beckham is that he cannot decide which hairstyle would suit him best

That man is soooo hot!!! And that bulge!!! Mouthwatering!!!



Matti proves what I said about Suomi being so hot!!! I wish I had some naked photos of Matti. I love uncut European hunks!!!

¡AIEEEEE! ¡Coño, carajo! ¡Que ya me duele el culo! Indeed I have sinned again. But the last whupping hurt so much I don't think I can take another.

Suffice to say that I was in fact searching for Finnish athletes when Mononen and Looije both popped up for some reason, and in my blind lust I failed to perform due diligence in verifying both their nationalities.

So in light of my good intentions I will simply condemn myself to suffering through viewing your decidedly superior postings of photos of true beautiful Finnish athletes.

My monitor is appropriately positioned to receive the well deserved punishment.

Also enjoyed your "skinny legs" performer. A beautiful specimen of prime manhood.

Keep up the good work.

The Felix Sanchez Meet was due to take place this weekend. How about some pictures of the Crown Prince, Felix, himself?

Superman (UK)

Evidently Sanchez did not do so well at his eponymous meet, so I don't think there will be a lot of good pics of him. Here's the one from IAAF:



From that photo he seems to have lost some upper body weight too.

Thanks Sportinlife!

The picture of Felix is still fabulous! God, what a handsome specimen.

Agree that he seems to have lost upper-body weight! And his facial hair is slightly changed in terms of style.

Shame no full-sized pictures!

Gather he only ran in a Dominican 4 x 400 relay team. Still, he aims to get back to his major talent, hurdling, within the next month or so.

You can never show too many photos of this amazing fella!

Thank you!
