A Blatant Appeal To Your Base Instincts

gretchenblier.jpgInspired by our wonderment at a description of German speedskater Anni Friesinger that would be more fitting of a book with Fabio on the cover, we received countless suggestions on the most physically attractive athletes in Torino. (It can be difficult to tell, with all the goggles and everything, though, apparently, some of you think Friesinger is a post-op trannie or something.) Some kind souls have compiled the most comely folks at HotOlympians.com, including snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, from the snow hamlet of Toledo, Ohio.

Other nominees included Norway's Kari Traa (who, it seems, isn't opposed to posing without pants), short track speedskater Allison Baver and, uh, a bunch of dudes.

We apologize for this obvious lean toward the prurient. We're watching women's hockey right now, and they're all wearing mouthpieces. Needed to cleanse our palate.

(In honor of Valentine's Day, here are some sweetheart athletes, if it doesn't make you gag.)

  • Whoa, whoa, whoa.. I'm from Toledo, Ohio too! Woo hoo! Not too many girls look like that around here... nice to see T-Town gettin some representation in Turin... I mean, Torino... I mean... Turino... you know what I mean.

  • I think it's your palate that needed cleansing, unless you were transporting large quantities of estrogen for Anni Friesinger's consumption.

  • Post op tranny or not I still wouldn't throw Friesinger out of bed for eating crackers. Put the bag over her head and hold on for the ride.

  • How many athletes are competing in Turin(o)? Hundreds and hundreds, right? A thousand, maybe? It should be a given that most of them have spectacular bodies (I'll try not to think about curling or Grandma Luge here). So how is it possible that there are only, like, a dozen athletes on hotolympians.com? Why aren't there more Tanith Belbins? Is there not a cuter-faced athlete who can match Anni Friesinger's glorious rack? What I'm saying is, I like me some hot Olympians, but shouldn't there be more of them?

  • Well I will say that Sportszilla's absolutely right about who's #1.

  • Someone explain to me how, up until this moment, no one has uttered the name "Sasha Cohen?" Because, in my humble opinion, she's Africa hot http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/5061879/detail.html

  • Sasha Cohen freaks me out. She looks like a Bratz doll or a Steve Madden ad turned human.

  • who, it seems, isn't opposed to posting without pants Freudian slip there, Will?

  • Ha. Whoops!

  • I agree with the above about Anni Friesinger. Yes, her nose is somewhat, uh, Graf-ian, but the rest is sweet, sweet cake.

  • I'm personally looking forward to snowboard cross. Lindsay Jacobellis (from those Visa commercials) is the gold-medal favorite.

  • Hail to the Victors at 05:06 PM on 02/14/06

    When Shaun White interviewed with Bob Costas after he won gold, he said he wanted to meet Sasha Cohen, and he hoped his gold medal would impress her. He even played it out: "Hey baby, how are- huh? What, this? Oh, that's just my gold medal. Yeah, I won it in Italy." I think he's permanently stoned. Rad.

  • I just can't believe Grandma Luge didn't make the list?
