The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio will soon be over and it’s been one hell of a ride. This year’s games had no shortage of scandals, including a straight reporter who baited gay athletes on Grindr, a sex tape leak, and an alleged arm robbery that may or may not (probably not) have happened.

Of course, there were some pretty awesome and far less scandalous moments as well, including a record number of out and proud athletes competing, a marriage proposal, and an awesome Nike ad celebrating trans athlete Chris Mosier.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Then, of course, there were all the cute guys.
Scroll down for a look back at our top 10 Olympic crushes from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio…
Pita Taufatofua
May we never forget the time we watched him shirtless and being smeared in oil on live television.
Or “Thomas Daley” as he prefers to be called these days.
Jordan Burroughs
According to his Instagram page, all this 28-year-old wrestler from New Jersey sees is gold.
Jeffrey Wammes
The openly gay Dutch gymnast didn’t nab a medal in Rio, but his Instagram is pure gold.
Tony Yoka
The French boxer made his Olympic debut this year.
Sergio Sasaki
The Brazilian gymnast found himself at the center of a scandal this Olympic season when a rather revealing video of him leaked online.
Luca Dotto
Not only does he hold the record for the 100 meter freestyle in Italy, but he’s also a celebrated underwear model for Emporio Armani.
Amini Fonua
The openly gay swimmer from Tonga just announced he is the new Brand Ambassador for Raw Materials Premium, a line of all natural men’s skincare products.
A rower and a stallion.
Greg Louganis
OK, OK, so maybe he didn’t compete in this year’s games (he’s retired, after all), but he was still there cheering on his younger counterparts, snapping selfies with Tom Daley, and serving up some daddy realness.
Kangol
There were so many guys at the Olympics, including many medalists, who were as hot or hotter than these guys. Maybe scroll through the sports and athletes’ names, and you’ll find a few, Queerty.

Was it just me or did anyone else notice that Tom, sorry, Thomas Daley’s trunks were extremely small?
All the men mentioned on this page are attractive and there were many more at this year’s games, but to mention them all would have us scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and . . .
Mack
I’ve got to say, there there were MANY hot guys during these last two weeks. I’m sure some were straight, bi, gay, even some in between. I’ve spent more time fanning myself in these last two weeks than I have in years.
While watching these hot guys as much as I could I hate that NBC did such a terrible job with the coverage. No soccer games televised that I could find, only streaming, but the dedicated on channel to Tennis for the first week or so. Even the medals awards really wasn’t shown unless it was a Michael Phelps or someone else famous.
Blackceo
There were definitely many attractive guys at this year’s Olympics and I agree it was more than I ever remember at any Olympics. Definitely a few cuties among this list. Greg Louganis will always be ZADDY!!!! That man could be 100 years old and I’d still be trying to push up on him.
Honorable mention for my fellow Boricua, diver Rafael Quintero who, if you watched diving on the NBC app (since NBC’s diving coverage sucked and you wouldn’t have seen him since they only showed taped coverage) ended up placing 7th in the final of the men’s 10M platform. He’s so damn cute and has a million dollar smile.
Chris
I like a hot guy as much as the next man. But a guy walked into the parade of nations dressed and oiled so as to honor his (and his nation’s) ancestors; and of course, we fetishized him. Sheesh!
Jimmy T
How about American diver David Boudia, definitely the hottest guy at the Olympics for me.
Doughosier
Where’s US Olympic diver Steele Johnson? He’s truly beautiful.
