The Olympics are always packed with gorgeous young women and young men. This year my favorite male athlete was 26-year-old Oscar Pistorius from South Africa. One of the handsomest young men I've ever seen, Oscar is known as "the fastest man without legs" because he was born with deformed legs that were amputated when he was an infant. I feel so many emotions when I see him run: pride in him, in my fellow man, and embarrassment, embarrassed that I ever complained about my aching feet. He doesn't even have feet, and he isn't complaining. Shame that he accomplished so much with so little, and I accomplished so little, with so much. I have all 10 fingers, all 10 toes, everything I'm supposed to have, and I'm a pathetic coach potato. I'd rather take BART than walk two blocks. Oscar Pistorius is my hero, an inspiration, he lifts my soul.
Another gorgeous competitor was 25-year-old Yahel Castillo, a diver from Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Virtually all of the Mexican divers are also gymnasts, which helps them perform especially complicated dives.
A superlative pair of divers also hails from Jalisco, Mexico: 18-year-old Ivan Garcia and 20-year-old German Sanchez. They're two exquisite young men who competed together in synchronized diving. This was my first time seeing them, but they already had a loyal following in their home country and across Latin America, where they came to fame in the Pan American Games held last year in their hometown.
One is way cuter than the other, but from the neck down they are virtually indistinguishable, two solid, bronzed muscle twinks. Are they that synchronized apart from in their silver-medal-winning sport? Perhaps in the bedroom? I really can't confirm nor deny the rampant rumors, but they look awfully intimate hugging in the attached picture.
While 28-year-old Ryan Lochte and 27-year-old Michael Phelps were battling it out for supremacy in the pool, my lecherous eye was focused on their relay teammate, fellow gold medalist 24-year-old Ricky Berens, perhaps the handsomest swimmer in London this year. Yet naughty Ricky is more famous for his al fresco swimsuit that exposes his choice bubble buttocks! Is Ricky just catching a breeze, or is he an exhibitionist? Maybe Berens plans to launch his own peek-a-boo swimwear line.
What could possibly be next?
