It doesn’t take a genius to understand why the entire world drops everything to tune into the Olympic Games every two years. Aside from being Earth’s oldest international sporting event, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games are routinely celebrated as a gathering of the world’s finest athletes, a display of their hardened bodies, and an introduction to the athletic crushes we’ll be gushing over for the next four years.
Summer Olympians are more prone to flashing skin, what with their barely-there swim trunks and all (obligatory Tom Daley link), but that doesn’t mean their Winter Olympic counterparts aren’t just as steamy when they strip out of that restrictive winter gear.
A naked athlete is a great athlete, so without further ado, we bring you the 12 hottest winter Olympians competing in the 2014 Sochi Games, sans their shirts. Go sports!

John Daly looks a lot better here than you’d expect from reruns of “What’s My Line.”

Matteo Guarise are you looking for a modeling contract? I think sooo..lol.
He is a natural. Girl work!

I was expecting to see a bunch of no name athletes, but with the exception of Guarise, this list includes past Olympic champions and medal winners and current realistic medal contenders.

Thank you so much for this! So happy that 2 of the twelve are from Italy! Christof Innerhofer was the “cover boy” of our magazine Uomo Moderno for Winter 2014. He is such a great guy, and humble. Ciao! Francesco

If I could have Charlie White’s hair, I could die happy.

Bobsledder Steve Langton is way f***ing hot! Check this out with his bro-buddy on ‘Your Daily Nitro’ series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CLUzvmOE1c

The sad part is the more attractive get the most endorsement contracts….

The bobsled dude and that Italian ice skater are hot. Where’s Shani Davis? He’s tall, dark and has grown into his looks, and he’s built like a brick house and packing.
babybabybaby
Now that’s what I call a hot winter….

Javier Fernandez of Spain is the hottest figure skater at the games….plus- you run Bode Miller and not run the famous VPL pic????
Respect4all
@litper: Are you implying that all attractive men are gay?
Respect4all
@mz.sam: I was kinda hating them until the bed scene. But Steve does have quite a body!
JasonBrownUK
Steve Langton – WOOF!

I actually prefer the winter games to summer for eye candy… winter Olympic athletes are “grown-ups” for the most part… I can’t get really excited about what some 16 y/o is GOING to look like later in life…
pscheck2
@hyhybt: I take it you are being factious? BTW Steve Langton wins my vote!
