With all due respect to Simone Biles and the amazing athletes of the U.S. women’s Olympic gymnastics team, we wish the male gymnasts got a tenth of the attention.
Granted, they don’t bring home the gold as often, but is that any reason to deny us some prime Grade A U.S. beef?
Gymnast Sam Mikulak, who is in Tokyo for his third (and final) Olympic Games, thinks the guys could get more eyeballs if they hit the mat topless.
“Maybe compete with our shirts off,” Mikulak told The Wall Street Journal back in 2016. “People make fun of us for wearing tights. But if they saw how yoked we are maybe that would make a difference.”
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.
Besides the fact that no one says “yoked” anymore, Mikulak has a point: These guys are all of legal age, they work their bodies to physical perfection, and they’re more than happy to show us the goods.
Heck, they almost never wear shirts when they’re training.
“We have great physiques,” former Team USA member Jake Dalton told the Journal. “Incredible physiques.”
It’s unlikely GK Elite, the company that designs Team USA’s leotards, will listen to Mikulak—but that’s why we have Instagram. Below, fill yourself with the Olympic spirit with the thirstiest shirtless ‘grams from the U.S. men’s gymnastics team.

I wish them well. Danell Leyva, who came out, isn’t on this year’s team, I believe, and John Orozco, who’s suffered a number of injuries over the years, is competing for Puerto Rico this time.

Yul Moldauer is so hot *swoon*

Nobody here has any respect for their skill, they’re just bodies to you. You’re all sick, wrong, and disgusting. I’m the only one who understands anything and I’m better than all of you.

Admiration for their skills and admiration for their bodies are not mutually exclusive concepts!

So hard to tell if our resident scold has been hacked or if she’s completely lost her mind.

If you are going to be like Cam, at least write better.

As they all seem enjoy showing up their bodies your trolling comments are just so much BS! Just another trolling Bitch!

Yes, but who is gay and who is straight. It’s not like the women’s basketball or soccer teams where the women are mostly lesbians.
DonnieC
Probably not at that level but I bet more of them are gay than the general population

To be at this level of men’s gymnastics requires incredible strength and flexibility. No wonder they look so fit. As a nation, we don’t value this sport enough.

if they did compete shirtless, then the grizzling would be over shaved vs clipped vs natural blah blah blah. 🙂

Nice physiques on short guys, who have the best muscle to weight ratio for acrobatics.
