These Guys Are Turning the Heat Up at the Winter Olympics

As the winter months keep on keepin’ on, there is a little event that turns snow, ice, and cold into something beneficial: The Winter Olympics.

OK, I know what you’re thinking: the Winter Olympics could never hold a candle to the excitement of Beijing in 2008, or any summer games for that matter. Even if figure skating is pretty fun to watch, we also have to sit through Curling, Bobsledding and the Biathlon. Snore.

But what choice do we have? We’re already down Gossip Girl and Glee, and with the Olympics running for 2 weeks on NBC, there won’t be anything else to watch except guys in spandex speeding down a frozen water slide.

We need something to watch for and we need something now.

Luckily, no matter the sport, the Olympics always provide one thing we can all appreciate: hot pieces of well-toned man meat. We already know we’ll be watching Short-Track Speed Skating (which we didn’t really know existed until now….) to root on American hottie, J.R. Celski, and now I’m bringing you just a few more reasons to tune into (and enjoy) the 2010 Winter Olympics.

If this doesn’t make you proud to be an American, I don’t know what will. Let’s just hope all this hotness doesn’t affect the ice. And although you may never come across these hotties on slopes, you’d be surprised at the selection out there, so get stylin’ winter sports gear and hit the snow!

    How does Bode Miller make ANY of these lists? He's untalented and proved himself to be a huge asshole, letting his team down majorly, in Torino 4 years ago. I liked all the hockey players you listed because it's SO TRUE that hockey players are some of the most undiscovered hotties in the world. (Blame all the padding and helmets.)

    Evan's gangly and so not straight. Charlie White from ice dance and Ryan Suter from the men's hockey team totally should be on this list.

    As an anthropologist, I love the percentage of blue-eyed blonds to be found on the American Winter Olympics team. It's all the Scandinavians that wound up in Minnesota, plus the WASPs that ski. (Also gotta agree about hockey players being hot.)
