You might already know this, but I’m sort of obsessed with the Olympics. The sports, the pageantry, the athletes who are not, for the most part, in it for the money - I love it all. Since Sunday, I have been ensconced in the swimming Olympic Trials. One look at Ryan Lochte - who will be swimming the 400 IM and maybe more - I knew I had to share him with you.
He’s looking in the stands for me. I’m right here, Ryan!

GUHHHHHH. Hot. And I usually don’t like swimmers.
July 2, 2008 at 2:25 am
OHMYGOD this post is a dream come true!! WOW.
July 2, 2008 at 4:28 am
Oh my, another sexy backstroker? Between him and Aaron Peirsol, a girl can’t go wrong.
July 2, 2008 at 7:11 am
I wouldn’t mind being between Ryan and Aaron Piersol.
July 2, 2008 at 10:01 am
reason to love the olympics: swimmers. Swimming. This.
July 2, 2008 at 10:11 am
Yesssssssss. I would like to be the turkey in an Aaron, Ryan, Michael club sandwich.
July 2, 2008 at 10:40 am
That’s a wonderful way to start a second Monday. Had day off yesterday so it feels like Monday all over agian.
July 2, 2008 at 10:47 am
Chitown Chick: I think these are some of the exact photos I used in my audition entry. I LOVE RYAN LOCHTE!
July 2, 2008 at 10:58 am
Yes, please. I like swimmers. A lot. And Chitown, while I’m probably not obsessed, I do love the olympics too.
That one with his back arched over the pool (#7 I think), makes my girly parts tingly!
(also, I think he looks like one of the Carlson twins in that 1st pic)
July 2, 2008 at 11:11 am
I audibly gasped when I found the back arched over the pool picture.
July 2, 2008 at 11:18 am
I’m glad I’m not the only one obsessing over the Olympics already. We share a love for Ryan. Thank you for that spectacular post. Now, excuse me, I need to stare at some pictures.
July 2, 2008 at 11:23 am
You read my mind! I was watching the trials on Sunday night and thinking “Who is that gorgeous swimmer?!” And then set off on a google search which brought me to this video, which is perfect for working on your backstroke or just for feeling like a pervy weirdo: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7CmM_Z3Zt5U
July 2, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I’ve already told you how I feel but I will reiterate: HE NEEDS TO CALL ME IMMEDIATELY.
And he carries off the curly long-ish hair in pic #6 quite nicely.
[I think we should keep a running tally of how many Olympians have the Olympic rings tattoo. I feel like I've seen a lot of them.]
July 2, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Dame, that would be a worthwhile endeavor. I know lots of wrestlers who have done it, and in this picture:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/124/381028570_083475b1f7.jpg
you may notice a little bit of a tat peeking out from Michael Phelps’ f*** me muscle.
July 2, 2008 at 2:59 pm
You know, I’m glad that water is an nth degree above freezing because I think those suits require some, um, “shrinkage.”
July 2, 2008 at 3:15 pm
OH MY LORD…I…uh…*ahem*…nomnom…
(*ahem* Yeah, I’ll reply again if/when I find my words.)
July 2, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Thank you!
*standing and applauding*
July 2, 2008 at 11:13 pm
um, college world series and now olympic swim trials? I LOVE living in Omaha!
July 3, 2008 at 1:04 am
mmm swimmers.
My favorite picture is the one at the top.
And what’s going on in his bathing suit when he’s arching to start the backstroke?
July 3, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Um. Goodness. He is something, isn’t he..
July 3, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I keep coming back in this post.
Gosh I love swimmers.
And that tattoo…is in The Hot Spot(tm).
July 7, 2008 at 5:22 pm
luv swimming and swim for only one reason.
July 10, 2008 at 2:22 am

July 12, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I feel a rush of patriotism throughout my lady bits…. He makes me want to sing “Hail to the Chief.”
August 10, 2008 at 12:35 pm
OMG! I saw Lochte last night competing in the 400 M Medley of the Olympics and was smitten. He is definitely a H-O-T-T-I-E!
August 10, 2008 at 2:32 pm
OK. Saw him last night competing in the 400 IM of the Olympics. I am hooked. had to link this page to at least 20 of my 40 yr old stay at home mommies - we need a little yummy in our lives. Does anyone think he looks like a young and built Patrick Dempsey?
August 10, 2008 at 9:45 pm
They aren’t braces it’s his Grill lol and he’s a great kid from a wonderful loving, giving and humble family. GOOOOOOOOOO RYAN!!!!!! I about lost my voice when he was leading on the 2nd transition of the 400m
August 13, 2008 at 8:24 pm

August 13, 2008 at 8:26 pm
I used to like Michel Phelps i thought he was the Hottes guy there is!

August 13, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Ryan Lochte is the FINEST MAN ALIVE. Love his hair, his innocent face, omg he is just perfection. Whenever he’s on I run into the room just to watch his hotness in HD.
He is my dream man, I just know it! :) He’s just sooooooo goooorgeeeooouuuus omg Ryan I need his autograph! :)
August 14, 2008 at 5:44 am
Ohhhhhh my! We don’t have anything like this in England! Nothing else for it, I’m going to have to become an honorary American on this one so I can drool to my hearts content. Aw man, that smile!
August 15, 2008 at 5:20 pm
I agree completely.
Just to let you know, those aren’t braces. That’s a grill… meaning Mr. Lochte is going to be a rapper after his professional swimming career.
August 15, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Check out the following:

All I can say is, “God Bless America!!!”
August 15, 2008 at 5:41 pm
oh my god he is so sexy and adorable, and the fact that he is an Olympic gold medalist makes it oh so much better.
August 15, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Oh how hot !!!!
August 15, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Well I must admit this young man is very attractive and I totally see the attraction. I love the pic of him in the white trunks. However, I was shocked to see how much he looked like my oldest son, ruining the whole girly parts tingling, bummer. Sorry girls, my boy is taken.
August 15, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Wow… yep, wow. And he’s a Gator, that makes him all the more sexy to me….
August 15, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Now that Matthew McConaughey is busy changing diapers, Ryan Lochte is my new dream hunk!
August 15, 2008 at 6:31 pm
woo hoo I like the one in the white shorts too, reminds me of my husband, so I don’t need pictures when I got the real thing
August 15, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Deeeeeeelishus!
August 15, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I’m going to ask Santa for him this year :)
August 15, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Lochte is hot but I just can’t get over the muscle definition on Michael Phelps’ lower abdomen…yum. Must go watch more olympics…..
August 15, 2008 at 7:22 pm
the olny reason I watch the olympics is to see the swimmers. They are so HOT!!
August 15, 2008 at 7:26 pm
All I can say is……..YUM-E!!!!
August 15, 2008 at 7:27 pm
I am in LOVE. Dear lord ths guy is one, big muscular drink of water.
August 15, 2008 at 7:42 pm
he’s too hot
August 15, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Gay
August 15, 2008 at 7:50 pm
OK .. lol
I personally do think he’s HOT… why dont they just make a movie star outta him and be done with it?
They could start with underwear commercials … GRIN
Then move him into something more substantial… like the big screen…
Can this guy act? Does anyone know? Does anyone CARE? LOL
August 15, 2008 at 7:51 pm
To whoever started this site, Thankyou! From day one that I saw Ryan I have not stopped staring. My family wonders why I cheer so loud for him and not Phelps. Hello! Look at him lol!
August 15, 2008 at 7:52 pm
so hot..i didnt like swimmers…until now….. omg ryan i love youuuuuuuuu
August 15, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Ryan Lochte is pretty. Haha.
August 15, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I bet this fag has a small penis..
August 15, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Is he gay? no hair?
August 15, 2008 at 8:05 pm
He is soooo hot!!!!! :)
August 15, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Wow. Not only is he gorgeous, but judging from the pictures, he seems very down-to-earth and funny. Too bad NBC doesn’t spend more time interviewing him. It’s always the same old interviews with Michael Phelps, who always looks like he’d rather be anywhere else than talking to us nobodies at home. :)
August 15, 2008 at 8:18 pm
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for those fabulous, I’m sorry, DELICIOUS photos of Lochte and for the entire website. Finally a way for women to check out gorgeous men!!!! The male swimming is one of my favorite Olympic sports - can you guess why?!! (Male gymnasts have the bods, too!!)
August 15, 2008 at 8:23 pm
GAHHHH!
August 15, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Oh my god. As a swimmer it’s so nice when a all around nice guy comes in to play. he has a great body, not scrawny like phelps, but the typical “V” swimmer body. tiny waist, big, probably great for cuddling, shoulders/arms… yummy… I’m as a loss for words to describe this guy…. a picture says a thousand words. :)
August 15, 2008 at 9:31 pm
So ladies, what makes u so sure he plays for your team?
August 15, 2008 at 9:40 pm
WOW! After seing these photos I’ll be taking an extra loooong bubble bath tonight……girls, youknow what I mean……………….
August 15, 2008 at 9:44 pm
oh my god….the minute women discover a truly deliciously hot guy, every other jealous mail automatically labels him “gay”. Get over it!
August 15, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Who cares if he’s GAY or STRAIGHT! He’s a GOLD medalist in the Olympics! I like him for that. And maybe the men on here should take note, you’re just saying he’s gay because you can’t stand it that he’s the center of attention and you’re not! Go to a gym and loose that beer belly, maybe then you’ll get some attention!
August 15, 2008 at 11:13 pm
SA-WOON.
August 15, 2008 at 11:28 pm
hey those arent braces…its a grill, i have to say just a bit cooler than braces hahaha. ryan’s the best backstroker ever yay…and hes not gay :)
August 15, 2008 at 11:54 pm
My heart pumps more than a hundred beats/minute everytime I see Lochte’s packs & bumps!!! Can I take that white trunk (pic #3) as a souvenir? PLEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE!!!!!
I’ll see to it that my husband & 2 boys can’t take it away from me!
OHHHHH…..RYANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
August 15, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Oh my God! Ryan is so Yummy! I love all those pics.
August 16, 2008 at 12:03 am
I need a sperm donor….RYAN LOCHTE….100% QUALIFIED!!!!!!!!!!
August 16, 2008 at 12:27 am
Does he remind anyone else of one of those Roman statues representing young male perfection?
He’s a gator, huh? I’d like to chomp on ‘at!
August 16, 2008 at 1:00 am
Number three tells you everything you need to know about that georgous man. Let’s here it for tiny white briefs!!!!!!! THINK WE CAN GET AN ACTION FIGURE OF THAT BODY…uh man?
August 16, 2008 at 1:36 am

August 16, 2008 at 7:27 am
That smile makes me melt everytime! When he won his gold, I felt so happy for him like he was my husband winning the gold for me… ;)
August 16, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Hmmmm….hott…makes me wonder how his C_ _ _ looks like?!
August 16, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Ryan Lochte is hott. and so is michael phelps. thats why women watch the olympics.
August 16, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Ahhh, yes, Lochte is a hottie but I’ll always have eyes for Phelps. I’ve always loved the male swimmers’ physique.
August 16, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Mmmmmmmmm… not bad. I miss Matt Biondi though. Rosolino is not bad either. Michael Phelps hot? Get some glasses girl! Not bad Ryan, not bad.
August 16, 2008 at 6:41 pm
[...] will dream that if only they could have Phelps. (Correction. The ladies are actually fixating on Ryan Lochte). But the ladies will see him as a loser. In his own words, all he does is ‘eat, sleep, [...]
August 16, 2008 at 6:48 pm
He is def. easy on the eyes.
August 16, 2008 at 7:03 pm
That’s a grill, not braces, retard. If you realy liked him you would have know that.
August 16, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Yes, he is pretty hot!!
August 16, 2008 at 8:27 pm
HA TA….he’s got my vote!
August 16, 2008 at 9:57 pm
holy hot, and amazinggg!!!!!!!
August 16, 2008 at 10:24 pm
He is perfection. Ryan Lochte’s girlfriend is Olympic Swimmer Caroline Burckle, though.
I can still dream right?
August 17, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Yikes! How lucky are we that he has to wear a speedo? Mama mia he’s fine.
August 18, 2008 at 3:45 am
mmmm he’s got it all, scrumsious!!!!
and he actuslly is a decent guy…
he actually might be one of those perfect guys girls!!!!
hes going to go off the market quickly
August 18, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Come on Ryan, market that junk! We need to see much more of you than Phelpsy. Koodos to him and he is fantastic but a girl needs what you got. The yum factor. Note to NBC, CBS, ETC, more Ryan please.
August 19, 2008 at 7:57 am
OMG!
Ryan, you should call me as soon as you come home from Beijing!!!
He is absolutely gorgeous!

August 19, 2008 at 7:59 am
oh and,
THANK YOU LADIES FOR THE POST!!!
I love it!!!
;>
August 19, 2008 at 8:41 am
Ooh la la. He is yummy. All of the US male swimmers had amazing bodies this year but Lochte stands out from the rest. It’s the playful quality that he has about him that makes him so appealing.
But he should keep the short hair, the better to show off that gorgeous face. Like in the top photo, god how hot is he?

August 20, 2008 at 7:20 am
He looks like a young James Dean in pic 1!
August 24, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Swimmers have the nicest bodies. They usually don’t have a pretty hot face, but Ryan Lochte just has it allllll. Dammmm babyyy!<3
August 25, 2008 at 3:28 pm
[...] Ryan Lochte recently obtained two gold and two bronze medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics for his swimming. He even set a world record for the 200 meter backstroke. However, the Olympic trials in July were in question for him due to an injured ankle acquired while dropping from the deck of his house, as noted by the folks at Yahoo!Sports. [...]
August 30, 2008 at 11:28 pm
I WAS DRINKIN WATER WHEN I SAW THE FIRST PIC AND I LITERALLY JUST DROP MY MOUTH OPEN AND SPILLED THE WATER ALL OVER MYSELF!!! RYAN LOCHTE IS SOOO HOOOT AND SO IS MICHAEL PHELPS HE MIGHT NOT BE AS GOOD LOOKIN AS LOCHTE BUT FOR SURE HE HAS A GORGEOUS BOD
