Javi Martinez: Olympic Cutie of the Day


Name:
Javi Martinez
Country: Spain
Sport: Soccer
Age: 23
Why He’s a Gold Medal Hottie: What with the €40m price tag pinned on him by his club Athletic Bilbao, we’d say it’s a pretty good indicator that Martinez isn’t just desirable for his looks. At 19, he was already appearing on Spain’s national Under 21 team (U21). He scored the only goal in an Olympic warm up match against Mexico this July. Though the member of the 2012 Euro Championship squad is considered a valuable potential for the Catalan giants—who are only hesitating because of his price—he’s got other things to focus on…like getting Spain’s luck back after this year’s Olympic performance.
