Friday Eye Candy: Reasons To Watch the Olympics

The Summer Olympics start today.  Are you planning on watching? 

If not, you should be.  It is your patriotic duty to cheer on the athletes that have trained so hard to represent your country.

If that isn’t enough to get you to tune in, here are some other very good reasons:

 

Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte…Men’s Swimming

 

Troy Dumais…Diving

 

Todd Thornton…Men’s Gymastics

Sean Scott…Volleyball

Doug Schwab…Wrestling

Breaux Greer…Javelin

 Brian Clay…Decathalon

 

Did I miss anyone?

    Oh, I like Michael Phelps but mostly in the water with his swim cap on. It may also be the fact that he is from my hometown, so I feel a connection to him.

    Hello Breaux Greer. You are hot. Thank you Jen for introducing us!

    So umm sorry for disapearing into the blue green yonder. I have no excuses but sheer lazyness in the blog world these days! Can I blame teething, colds, no sleep, too busy to breath as an excuse?? No. Fine I apalogize. I missed prizes and games so clearly I suck. I have decided social life is a waste blogs are where it’s at!

    Lordy lordy!! I have to say that I quite like how the British swimmer looks - grey hair and all! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-553909/Swimming-champion-Foster-qualifies-Olympics.html He looks very good for 38!!

    *cough* No, I do not watch the Olympics for the eye candy *shifty eyes*

    Who am I kidding? LOL!!

    Seriously, the Olympics, the whole thing is amazing but this year? Aside from all the other years? There seems to be SO MANY eye candies out there..

    Oh! I think the WHOLE men’s gymnastics team deserves to be on the list!

    Those are some very compelling reasons to watch.
