Olympics Eye Candy


With so much of action going on in the Olympics (sport wise), one can't help but to notice the many eye candies from around the world all in one venue. Most of the Spanish handball team is amazingly above average.

Needless to say volleyball, beach volleyball, handball and water-polo are among the most viewed sports on the YouTube Olympics channel. Well for me at least.

Just to pick three random ladies out of the many that I've seen over the past week and a half, allow me to present to you Becky Hammon.


Well she isn't in the smokin' hot category but she stands out because how many other Americans born and raise do you know that plays for Russia?



After being snubbed numerous times by the American team, the 6 times WNBA All-Star announced that she was going to try for the 2008 Russian national team which sparked a huge controversy in the US. She did eventually play for them and won a Bronze in Beijing.


Watch her in the Women's Basketball Semi-Finals tomorrow versus France with the winners potentially playing USA for gold.

Next up, American hurdler Lolo Jones. Firstly, with a name like Lolo you're bound to get attention and what more with a face like this.


She was favored to win the 100m hurdles in Beijing but tripped on the penultimate hurdle, finishing in seventh place instead. The 2012 Olympics was to be her redemption but unfortunately she only managed to finish 4th  and out of the medals again.



Interesting fact: She posed semi-nude for ESPN in 2009 and she claims to be a virgin during an interview with HBO recently. Hmmmm.




Last but certainly not least I present Darya Klishina.



21 year old Russian long jumper. Junior European champion that is only just beginning to compete with the seniors.

This Olympics will no doubt be a learning experience for her and we do expect to see her for the next Olympics in Rio.



Also for Rio we expect Michelle Jenneke there! For those who haven't seen it. 16, 571,515 people have.

Click here  to make it 16,571,516. I'm volunteering for Rio 2016 by the way. Who's with me?
