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.

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.

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?

Hot jock: Swimmer Milorad Cavic

August 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Cavic is the 6-6 swimmer raised in California who swims for Serbia, the guy who lost to Michael Phelps in the 100-meter butterfly by .01 of a second. He also has a website, where he keeps a journal and talks about his Olympic dreams heading into the race: “It’s a chance to fulfill my destiny of becoming an Olympic medalist, but in order to do that I have to overcome myself and truly believe that I’m worthy of the honor.” Photo of swimmer and fish after the jump.
