12 Hottest Olympic Athletes to Look Out For: The Men & Women Heating Up Paris
Paris has experienced deadly heat waves in recent years, but that won’t be the only thing that will heat the 2024 Olympics. Athletes from all over the world will be converging for the most significant event in sports, and this also includes beautiful people with equally hot bods. If you aren’t a fan of sports, these eye candies are also great reasons to keep your eyes glued to the screen from now until 11 August. Here is our list of the hottest Olympic athletes to look out for:
The Men
Hashimoto Daiki
This video of the Japanese gymnast getting a *cough* massage has been going viral on social media, and it’s not hard to see why. Thirsty netizens commented, “How do I get this job?” and “My new career aspiration is whatever this is.” He doesn’t just have the looks but the talent as well: he won two gold medals at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in all-around and horizontal bar, as well as a silver in team.
Fei Li Wei
The swim team is always a good place to feast your eyes, and this year is no different. The 21-year-old also garnered attention online for his remarkable physique, which is making us consider volunteering for the next Olympic games.
Nicolo Martinenghi
Italy is known for its drop-dead gorgeous men, and this swimmer has already won a gold medal in the men’s 100m breaststroke title, earning him a total of three Olympic medals so far. With his new blond hair, people are calling him the Italian Draco Malfoy.
Oh Sang Uk
Stunning Korean men can be found in the music and movie spheres as well as in sports! He previously captured the hearts of ladies at the 2020 Olympics, and the 1.91m tall cutie will be back to compete in fencing.
Arthur Nory Oyakawa Mariano
Yet another gymnast, Arthur, is a member of the Brazilian national team and is of mixed heritage, born to a Brazilian father and a Japanese Brazilian mother. From some angles, the boy even looks like A.I., and he’s actually an internationally signed model. Ooh la la!
Special mention: Muhammad Imaan Aiman from the Paralympics
Although he isn’t competing in the Olympics, we thought that Imaan from Para Swimming deserved a special mention because of his thick eyebrows and fabulous hairstyle.
The Women
Alica Schmidt
This list wouldn’t be complete without German runner Alica, who is often dubbed the ‘World’s sexiest athlete.’ Standing at 1.75m, with her flowing golden locks, piercing blue eyes and abs, she looks more like a Victoria’s Secret model than an athlete. Plus, she seems to have both beauty and brains, as she attended the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences.
Luana Alonso
Glamorous Paraguayan swimmer Luana, who has over 309K followers on Instagram, probably has droves of boys following her wherever she goes. Unfortunately, this will be her last Games, as she announced her retirement at age 20 after a defeat at the 100m women’s butterfly.
Zehra Güneş
Turkish professional volleyball player who always looks flawless even on the court stands at an astonishing 197cm, making her taller than more players on her team. Since debuting at the last Olympics, she has amassed a fan club, with fans asking her to marry them. She is also an influencer with almost 4M followers, working with prominent brands like Mercedes.
Gabrielle Thomas
Beautiful, athletic, and smart, Gabby is a true all-rounder. She is a Harvard graduate, where she studied neurobiology and global health as an undergraduate. The American track and field athlete in the 100—and 200-meter sprint also has a Master’s Degree in epidemiology and even volunteers at a healthcare clinic. Some people really do have it all.
She doesn’t just serve in her sport; she also serves her face. The American hurdler and sprinter who competes in the 400-meter hurdles is the 2020 Tokyo Olympic champion and the 2022 World champion. With cheekbones to die for and angular features, Sydney is truly stunning.
Shino Matsuda
Sun-kissed and glowing, Shino is catching the waves and our hearts, too. The 21-year-old Japanese beauty has a lovely smile too!
