I don’t know about you guys, but I firmly used to be a Summer Olympics gal (my love for male swimmers knows no bounds). Yet for some reason, I’m really noticing that this year’s Winter Olympics has been serving some prime thirst-quenchers.
So if you’re not scrambling to find an Olympic live stream yet, you will soon:
1. Gus Kenworthy, Freestyle Skiing

Look at him all innocent and cute in his heavily patterned Team USA sweatshirt that I’m 100% sure would look horrible on anyone else. Then he goes and looks all sexy in this picture:

Is it sad that I wish I were the flag in this photo? It is? Whatever, guys.

As if my ovaries needed any more, here’s a picture of him with a cat. What. A. Cutie.
2. Sam Michener, Bobsleigh

Apparently, bobsleigh requires a lot of upper body strength, because look at those guns! His Instagram is just full of pics in which he’s half-naked, and I’m not complaining. Like at all. I’m actually wanting to put a request for more of them, for purely scientific reasons. There are some of the best:

3. Steven Langton, Bobsleigh

Henry Cavill who? Just kidding, guys, just kidding. But honestly, Superman is shaking in his boots because look at Steven Langton’s hotness.

The basically naked trend continues and I feel like this cured me of something. This picture has taken me to the purest state of zen in which nothing will ever bother me again.
4. Lou Moreira, Bobsleigh

This is the third member of the USA bobsled team and honestly, let us take a moment to thank the person who invented the sport because they have blessed us with bodies that defy reason. Think I’m exaggerating? Look at him! I don’t even know what he’s doing. Is he fixing a house? Is he about to work out? Who knows; all I’m focusing on is his pecs.

God bless the sport of bobsleigh and Lou Moreira.
5. Steve Nyman, Alpine Skiing

Now as a SoCal native, I’m not one for snow but for this man, I’d risk hyperthermia.

Sub-zero temperatures are fine; my toes can fall off for all I care, as long as I get to come home to this.
6. Joey Mantia, Speed Skating

Speed skating, in my mind, is a lot like car racing. As in there are a bunch of really fast things going ‘round and ‘round mindlessly, but if one of those things had this guy’s face, I’d watch it happily.

Why is he skating in a suit? I don’t know, but I want ten more of these pictures stat.

Also, here’s a picture of him with a puppy because what can be cuter?
7. Chris Mazdzer, Luge

Chris is a luger, which means he puts on this skin-tight suit (no complaints) and rides a sleigh feet first and face up. Because of that, we usually get pictures like this:

And like this…

Now, I’m sure science went into designing these suits (you know, aerodynamics and such), but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the view they give us.
8. Hakeem Abdul-Saboor, Bobsled

Another bobsledder? Yep, another one, and don’t act like you’re complaining because I know you’re not! Bobsleigh hottie, Hakeem, used to be a bodybuilder, and man, it shows! His Instagram is just filled with shirtless pictures and gym selfies (again, not complaining).

9. Jordan Greenway, Ice Hockey

Jordan Greenway not only has a face that I’d like to stare at for hours, but he is also making history as the first black hockey player to represent the US on the nation’s hockey team, meaning that I’m going to root for him double hard!

10. Nathan Chen, Ice Skating

As the least graceful person I know, I find the fact that Nathan Chen can balance on thin little blades incredibly hot. Also: puppies!

Did I make you an Olympics lover? Remember Ladies… GO TEAM USA!!!
