olympic-baes

The Olympics are officially underway, and while the ramp-up hasn’t been without its fair share of terrible press — everything from raw sewage in the water to inadequate housing for athletes to that pesky ‘ole zika — at the end of the day, audiences will still tune in to catch top athletes competing at the highest level on the world’s biggest stage.

And oh — these athletes!

Not only are there a record number of LGBTQ competitors this year, Team USA is chock full of major babes.

NBC recently took a closer look at the baes of team red, white and blue.

Let’s get to know these sporty fellas:
