The Ladies… are excited about the Olympics, and judging by your response to the Ryan Lochte Hump Day Hottie, you are excited, too. With that in mind, we didn’t want to wait until August to unveil our Olympic banner. Explanation of who these hotties are and their chances in Beijing are after the jump.
Here’s the scoop on all of our hotties, from left to right:
Brad Vering, Greco Roman wrestler: Brad, in addition to having dreamy eyes and an amazing ass, has a silver medal from last year’s World Championship and is a favorite to win gold at 84 kg. He also is a Nebraska Cornhusker, and loves to fish.
Tyson Gay, sprinter: By now, most people know about Tyson. After running a wind-aided 9.68 100m at the trials, Tyson pulled up lame in the semis for the 200m. He will be ready to go for the 100m in the Games, and will give Usain Bolt from Jamaica a run for not just the gold medal, but the world record.
David Boudia, diver: David is a precious 19-year-old from Indiana and will competing for the U.S. in the 10m platform, and the 10m synchronized platform. He and his diving partner Thomas Finchum-who are BFF-have medaled 14 times over the past two years, including a gold medal at the Pan-Ams.
Jonathan Horton, gymnast: Along with Paul Hamm, Horton was one of the first athletes to be named to the team. He placed fourth at all around in last year’s World Championships, and is an anchor to the strongest U.S. team in years.
Lebron James, basketball: Do I really need to say anything?
Ryan Lochte, swimmer: A Ladies… favorite, Ryan took second in every race he swam in, whether to Michael Phelps or Aaron Piersol. Lochte’s toughest competition is from his own teammates, but he is a fantastic swimmer who will clearly come home with hardware from Beijing.
Ladies... 
Gooooooooooo Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddd….GO BIG RED!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love this banner!
This banner RULES ALL.
Chitown Chick wins the internets.
NAFTA says you need a Mexican flag up there, too. Jus’ sayin’.
Love the banner, except for the gymnast. Men doing gymnastics is not attractive to me. I don’t know why. Maybe the Hamm brothers’ squeaky voices have turned me off.
I love this time of year every 4 years.
I agree Pam, those Hamm boys need to keep their mouths shut! They would be better looking that way.
Which is exactly why I didn’t use Hamm, either of them. :)
Since we’re on the topic of the Olympics has anyone heard about the South African parathletes (is that the right term) that are trying to qualify for the Olympics? There is a female swimmer who has actually qualified for both and a male sprinter who is still trying to qualify. I think that’s pretty awesome.
I hear you guys. Although, Jon Horton is my friend’s fiance … his voice is definitely not squeaky and gymnasts’ bodies rule all. Hands down.
Wow its amazing how people only focus on ryan’s body and not his amazing ability to swim. If you havent noticed hes probaly 1st or 2cd in the world in swimming. Ive talked to him at a compatitions and its truly facinating how the spot light of millions of people watching him hasnt morphed him into someone like Michael Phelps who knows exsactly what to say and when to say it. Ryan is so down to earth and is really someone to talk to and chill out and not to caress his body like every girl dreams of although i have a feeling he might like it =] And by the way to all the girls who have dreams of dating phelps or lochte forget about it. If you ever look at there scedule there barely in one town for more than a week and when they are statonary there either swimming, promoting products, interviewing, photoshoots or more training. Notice how whenever ryan or michael are asked what there doing at the end of the week they just say chill it because A. there to tired t realy party and B. they dont have the time to do anything. I mean come on girls get the autograph and move on there just to busy to notice your drooling over them =]
