The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro begin with a bang at the opening ceremony tonight (01:00 am SAST), meaning that for the next two weeks we get to watch the world’s most gorgeous athletes compete for gold – often shirtless.
We took the liberty of checking out all the male athletes competing this year (no need to thank us) and rounded up the eight hottest sportsmen that we’d jump over hurdles for… or swim lengths for… or run laps for… or, well, you get the idea.
1 Carlin Isles, USA, Rugby
