Olympic Sized Crush

I don't know too many women out there that don't appreciate the men's olympic swim teams....at least a little bit.  Maybe I have an extra love for them because I used to be a swimmer.  I can appreciate more than their looks because I know how hard you train to swim so fast and look that way!  But lets be honest here, those guys are hot.  Swimmers have the best bodies.  They are usually pretty tall too.  Swimming works all the muscles in your body, so it is no surprise they are really fit everywhere, but their awesome shoulders and backs are the best. 

Today I am going to blog about my new Olympic crush (by the way, I had to find a new one because my old Olympic crush retired from swimming...Aaron Peirsol), James Magnussen. He's Australian.  That alone says a lot about his hotness!  Love the accent!  The only major downfall to my crush is that he's ridiculously young, 21 years young.  Makes me feel a little cougar-ish.  I had a friend tell me that age is insignifcant when crushing on celebrities, so I guess I'm cool.  Hahahahaha.

He swims freestyle.  His nickname is "The Missile".  Currently, he holds the world record in the 100m freestyle without one of those swim suits that they decided were illegal.  It appears pre-Olympics, he was pretty sure of himself and basically promised the Australian public a gold medal.  He ended up getting a silver medal in the 100m free....Nathan Adrian, an American, beat him by the smallest margin you can beat someone by, .01 of a second.  He didn't really swim much better in any of his other events.  He got a bronze in one of the relay teams.  Apparently, he was overwhelmed by the whole Olympic atmosphere.  Was he a little (or a lot) cocky before getting to London?  Absolutely.  Did he act a little immature when being interviewed about the relay getting bronze?  Yeah, probably.  But let's face it, this guy is only 21 years old.  If he sets his mind to it and learns from his mistakes, I'm guessing he's going to be pretty formidable in the next Olympics.  Until then, us old ladies swooning over him are left to look him up on facebook.  Hahaha.  Yeah, that doesn't make me sound desperately pathetic at all, right?  Ahhh....who cares!?!?
