Still down about Chicago not getting the Olympics for 2016? Live too far from Vancouver to bother with the Winter Games? Don’t worry, there’s a bright side to everything; you may have missed out on your chance to slyly go see Oprah under the guise of a sporting event, but imagine the alternatives! Chicago girls are not Rio girls, and Chicago parties aren’t Rio parties. If that doesn’t lift your spirits, then we’ll just go basic: Olympic Women. These are 18 of the hottest girls representing their countries in a leotard today.
Margherita Granbassi
Her name sounds about as ice cold as she has to be in her sport of choice; Margherita is an Olympic fencer, which means that aside from being ridiculously hot, she can kill you with a sword. We look forward to seeing this little Italian gem a bit more often in the next couple of years, just don’t piss her off.
Amanda Beard
This OC native makes no bones about it – on top of being an Olympic swimmer, she models on the side. She’s been at this a long time, making her debut to the world down in Atlanta for the 1996 Summer Games. Her specialty may be the breaststroke, but we’re going to leave the bad puns to your own imagination on this one.
Almudena Cid Tostado
This Spanish beauty hails from Barcelona, where she basically contorts herself in her spare time, while practicing her art of Rhythmic Gymnastics. She models underwear and speaks more languages than you do. She’s competed four consecutive times in the Olympics and is pretty much a Spanish National Heroine. Interested? Get in line.
Ana Ivanovic
This Sebian may have been born in Belgrade, but she spends her time in Switzerland these days. She’s hounded by every major sporting goods brand to wear their stuff, and she’s pretty good at playing the field (pun intended). One thing’s for certain, aggressive is more than just this girl’s playing style.
Tatiana Golovin
Another transplanted tennis queen; Tatiana was born Russian but now plays for France. She debuted as a teenager in 2002 and hasn’t slowed down since, but don’t get your hopes up on this one. She’s got a live-in boyfriend.
Alicia Sacramone
Alicia takes her Boston accent to the mats when she tears through an Olympic stadium in one of her Artistic Gymnastic routines. She may only be 21, but she’s been doing this for years. She’s known around her circles as the optimist, so, keep your hopes up?
Alexandra Orlando
Another rhythmic gymnast, Alexandra brings it from Canada. Despite her hometown roots of Toronto, she’s about as Italian as it gets, and she also has a habit of winning every single competition she sets her decidedly bare foot in.
Maria Sharapova
Maria Sharapova hardly needs introduction, since her tennis matches have replaced Showtime or Cinemax for many men. While she may only be 22, she’s been traipsing around tennis courts (and our imaginations) for a long time now. Unfortunately, her standing in Tennis may be slipping, since she’s been recovering from a surgery. That’s alright though, we still love her.
Allison Stokke
Allison Stokke is an unfortunate case. She’s remarkably hot, even flat out gorgeous, and she knows it. She’s posed for photo shoots and she wears stuff to competitions that counts as skimpy even for athletic gear. We love this. The sad part is that her family keeps trying to get her pulled off the Internet, because she’s become too sexy. She’s a pole vaulter, and with that, we’ll leave you to your imagination yet again.
Bia & Bianca Feres
Synchronized swimming has never looked so good. These two are indeed twins, and they’re stunningly hot. They’re also Brazilian, and this photo isn’t even representative of the millions of others that have been taken of the two looking far more comfortable than most sisters ought to. We’re not judging them, it’s pretty awesome.
Laure Manaudou
This French swimmer seems intent on reinforcing some bad stereotypes, but we’re hoping she pulls a Favre and comes back. Within the last month, she up and retired at only 22. That’s just ridiculous, we’ve only just started getting to know her! So keep your hopes up that she can get her mojo back in time to make an appearance.
Francesca Piccinini
She’s Italian, and she’s a professional beach bunny in that she plays for the national volleyball team. She’s posed completely nude for a calendar before, and she likes anime. Do we really need to say more?
Stephanie Rice
Stephanie is an Aussie from Queensland, and she snagged the gold three times in Beijing. She can out-swim a shark and she’s literally an Australian national heroine. Just this year she was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia. Can you say something like that? If not… You may not want to try hitting on her.
Haley Cope
This native of Norcal may have began her career as just another lucky swimmer out of Chico, but she rocketed to success and soon found herself on the pages of both Maxim and Playboy. That’s right. She’s been in Playboy. Happy hunting.
Logan Tom
Another California native, Logan plays volleyball for America. That’s one hell of a resume, and to add to that she’s been in FHM. She’s been at this a long time now, nearly a decade, but she proved her worth all over again in Beijing when she earned the title of Best Scorer, and helped the USA take silver.
Hope Solo
This gorgeous Soccer goalie comes from our very own backyard up in the American Northwest. Aside from having one of the absolute best last names possible, she’s also one hell of a footballer. She had a bit of a rocky start, but made a showing at the Beijing Olympics, where she successfully held off the Brazilians and cemented her place in the sport.
Leryn Franco
Another girl with a deadly skill, Leryn comes from Paraguay, and she throws javelins. She can also stun you to death with how hot she is, which is more or less in the realm of ludicrously hot. She doesn’t stop at sporting though, since she knows just how beautiful she is, and competes in both fields. She was runner up to be Paraguay’s emissary to the Miss Universe competition just last year.
Jamie Salé
Though, for the most part, all these girls of the type you will have to wait for in Rio, we felt that a little Vancouver love wouldn’t hurt. This little frost bunny competes in Olympic figure skating, and she’s been at this for most of her adult life. We’re grateful, and she’s not showing any signs of stopping now, either. Let’s all hope she makes an appearance next year, on home turf.
