Sisterly Conversations on: Hotties of the Games

Good day Olympi-fans! As you all know, today marks the unfortunate end of the 30th Olympiad, otherwise known as the Summer Olympics of 2012, otherwise known as the thing that has been literally sucking up my time for the past 2 weeks. I don't know what I will do now that they are over, but they have left many special moments to reflect back on. 

There were many olympic highs and lows for me. Most of the lows involved me sitting on my couch after a long day at work, quietly shedding tears into a Lean Cuisine while watching Michael Phelps on the medal stand for the last time, Missy Franklin reuniting with her adorable parents after she won gold for the first time (thanks for the spoiler, Today Show commercial), Aly Raisman clinching gold for the women's gymnastics team, Lolo Jones' devastation at not medaling in the hurdles, OneDirection (who Al Michaels affectionately calls "One-D") performing in Olympic Stadium on the back of an 18-wheeler flatbed trailer, commercials like this: 



and generally crying anytime other people cried/showed emotion. Seriously, this was me every night:

(Gus is a "sympathetic crier" and I sympathize with that)

Despite the many emotional lows I (along with everyone else in the world) experienced, there were also many emotional highs. Many of them were mentioned in the previous post about the faces of the games. Well, not that mummy guy. I mean seriously dude, these are the OLYMPIC games, not the HUNGER games. I think you can afford an eye patch. Or at least a clean bandage. However, some of the highest of the highs came from watching what I refer to as........

THE HOTTIES OF THE GAMES!

I mean come on....did you think I would forget? Or that I wouldn't include pictures? I'll let these speak for themselves. You're welcome.

 Andy Roddick, American tennis player


  Cameron Van Der Bergh, South African swimmer (although less attractive now that he admitted to cheating during his gold medal race in the 100m breast stroke).

 Chad Le Clos, South African swimmer (his dad provided me with another emotional low after he openly wept on camera after Chad beat Michael Phelps in the 200m fly)

Cristian Savani, Italian indoor volleyball player

 David Beckham, all around British hottie and Olympic torch bearer

David McKienzie, American indoor volleyball player

James Magnusson, Australian swimmer 

Louis Smith, British gymnast

Marcel Nguyen, German gymnast

Mitchell Watt, Australian long jumper

Nathan Adrian, future lover. I mean what? Oh...American swimmer.

 Oscar Pistorius, the wonderboy South African runner who is a double amputee! And certified hottie.

Phillip Boy, German gymnast

Ricky Berens, American swimmer (and former Longhorn!!!!)

Ryan Lochte, American swimmer/I imagine America's #1 douche lord

Tom Daley, British diver (yes, he is 18. I checked)

Well fellow Olympi-fans! That's all! The olympics are over, but the hotties remain and can luckily be seen year round. Apparently they compete in other things throughout the year. Who knew? But consider me the world's biggest diving, gymnastics, swimming and track fan because of it! What's that you say? You want me to close out this blog with more photos of Nathan Adrian? I'd be happy to oblige.








Whatcha doin' to Natalie Coughlin there, Natey? HANDS OFF.
