Hot jocks: Danish rowers camp it up

August 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

I featured Danish rower Morten Joergensen as a “hot jock” after his lightweight fours rowing team won the gold.

Finneye has sent me this terrific gallery of the team from a Danish newspaper, that includes the most homoerotic shot of the Games (right), with Joergensen in the arms of teammate Thomas Ebert. I don’t know anything about Joergensen, but he certainly likes to camp it up.

Hot jock: U.S. runner Nick Symmonds

August 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Symmonds ran the 800 meters but missed out on a chance to reach the finals. That didn’t stop NBC from spending about five minutes covering him, including two interviews. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t take a bad photo.

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Matthew MitchamOut Aussie diver Matthew Mitcham faces the final diving event of the Beijing Games, the 10m platform, beginning with the preliminaries at 7pm Beijing time (7am EST) Friday. Mitcham failed to qualify for the 3m springboard final earlier this week. The 10m platform is thought to be his better event. Americans David Boudia and Thomas Finchum will also compete. China is 7-for-7 in diving gold medals at these Olympics. Can anyone spoil their quest for a sweep?

Hot Jock: Volleyballer Yury Berezhko

August 19th, 2008 · 4 Comments

It’s not easy to find much on the Web about Russian volleyballer Yury Berezhko. One of the few tidbits I was able to uncover was that his favorite kind of music is “club music,” which would make him gay in the U.S. but in Europe makes him like just about everybody else. He’s one of the stars of his team, and they’ve just advanced to the semifinals after a five-set win over Bulgaria. At 24 years and 6-foot-6, if the volleyball thing doesn’t work out for him, I’m sure Abercrombie & Fitch could find something for him to do.

Video: Why sexy athletes are evil

August 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Comedy Central sent us a clip called “Why Sexy Athletes Are Evil,” featuring Michael Phelps at No. 1. Some pretty good stuff in here, including this on David Beckham: “What’s the point of David Beckham? To get more gay guys to watch soccer? There are already gay guys watching soccer — they’re called Europeans.” Video after the jump

Hot jock: Swimmer Cesar Cielo

August 18th, 2008 · No Comments

It was rather touching to see Brazil’s Cesar Cielo cry after winning the men’s 50-meter freestyle. He cried in the pool, he cried after getting out of the pool and he cried on the podium. “I am overwhelmed by emotion,” he said. It was cool that he let the world see his emotions.

There was a rather odd reaction to Cielo’s win by Russia’s Alexander Popov, a multi-gold medalist of his own: “Cesar is very good. He has two balls, two arms and a strong head.” Are there guys swimming with less than two balls, two arms or a head?

More photos of Cielo.

Beckham wants in on Olympic spotlight

August 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Soccer stud David Beckham, not content to cede the media spotlight to Michael Phelps, will appear at the Olympics next week as part of the official handover ceremony from Beijing to London on Aug. 24. Becks will arrive at the Bird’s Nest atop a double-decker bus and kick a soccer ball into the crowd. Phelps, not to be outdone, will visit London on his way home from the Games in a marketing tour that’s part of an effort to cash in on his eight gold medals.

Amid all of this flesh-trading is grumbling that London Olympic organizers can’t keep details of their preparations quiet. I guess it’s easier in China when an oppressive regime is in charge, so focused on image that they tape over logos on toilet stalls.

Mitcham set to dive Monday

August 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Mitcham's Olympic debut is MondayThe 2008 Olympics’ only openly gay male athlete will make his Olympic debut Monday in diving’s 3m springboard preliminaries. Matthew Mitcham, of Australia, is expected to advance beyond the prelims, though his better event is the 10m platform which will take place later this week. You can follow results live at 7am Eastern / 4am Pacific here. The semifinal round will take place at 10pm EST (Mon), and one can only hope NBC will show it live. NBC is likely to delay coverage of the final until the primetime broadcast Tuesday night (though the event will happen at 8:30am EST), and they will focus heavily on American’s Troy Dumais and Chris Colwell. It will be interesting to see whether Mitcham’s sexual orientation is mentioned. For pics, videos and more, check out Matt’s web site.
