Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

More than just sorta. Dude's the reigning gold medal winner in the Decathalon and has won 5 of the last 7 world championships. When someone says "World's Greatest Athlete" it's him that I think of, not FlipperPhelps.

Also, no tan lines. (moderately NSFW)

Slanker, jonger, fitter INDEED!

Some Olympics years ago (like in the 80s) some magazine did a photo spread of tastefully nude Olympians. It was wonderful.

Was that when they had that impossibly gorgeous picture of Carl Lewis?

I do believe it was.

I am looking for it now, actually, and having to wade through a lot of porn.

They had several very different body types, there was a weight lifter, two syncro swimmers, Carl Lewis... I can't remember who else.

I found a reference to Life Magazine's Celebration of the Olympic Body, but haven't found a date yet.

Funny x-post

And oh my... he's so, so beautiful.

Either there were multiple covers or they did it more than once (I think it was the former) because I'm seeing a second cover that I will not link to -- its neighbors are, um, not so much Olympians...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OMG people. I just realized that I accidentally unsubbed to Natter a whole day ago!!

And I didn't realize it until I found myself thinking "why aren't we all nattering about the incredibly adorable wee Aussie twink in the diving?", and I found my way back to the thread (OMG DON'T LET ME DO THAT EVER AGAIN!!) and we still aren't!

(Of course, nekkid Olympians are a perfectly good distraction.)
