Right now, Asher Hong and Paul Juda are pushing the US Men’s Gymnastics team toward an Olympic medal, and as such they garner tonight’s Olympic Spotlight. Watching these two gentlemen power through a difficult qualifying event to charge toward a medal is a lesson in perseverance, spirit, and dedication. They’re an inspiration, no matter how far they go tonight. Also, those muscles…
Having just earned a gold medal for the US, Torri Huske earns this Olympic Spotlight thanks to her powerhouse performance in the Paris Olympics. She grabbed the gold in the 100m, and with teammate Gretchen Walsh right behind her with the silver, made it a 1-2 USA punch.
Anchoring the US Men’s Olympic Swim 4×100 Relay team, Caeleb Dressel earned his Dazzler of the Day crowning shortly before the last Olympic Games. This time he gets a solo spotlight for helping the US attempt its first gold medal of the Paris Olympics.
Smashing world records is one thing, but smashing world records held by Michael Phelps is something altogether spectacular. Léon Marchand is doing just that as he takes to the world stage of the Paris Olympic Games. Representing host country France, Marchand may make his biggest splashes to date as he swims for the gold in the city of the Seine. This morning he earns his first crowning as Dazzler of the Day.
Jack Laugher helmed a previous double-bang Speedo post a few years ago, and he’s back in the Paris Olympic Games, this time with a new partner – Anthony Harding. Bonus post here.
Today the Summer Olympics kick off in Paris, France, and I am always all about the Opening Ceremony. I haven’t been following much of the try-outs and qualifying events (it’s not like there’s figure skating in the summer) but I’ll perk up now that the actual moment has arrived. In a fractured and tumultuous world, the Olympics still serve as a reminder that there are people out there simply striving to be the best they can be, challenging each other in a competitive yet friendly way, bringing countries together and building bridges that unite all of us in a shared experience.
Plus there are Speedos. Lots of Speedos, donned by athletes in their prime. And sans shirts.
One of the shining stars from the last Olympic Games was Tom Daley, who’s made quite a few splashes on this site, as every instance that finds him decked out in his work attire is one worth posting about. Here we find him shaving his body for work.
Diving will be where much of our posting action originates – though I’m keenly interested in the gymnastics as well. Simone Biles is slated to astound the world with her unprecedented skills. There is the warm glow of Track & Field too, which always brightened up our family room when watching with my parents, and all the lights brought summer into our childhood nights.
We’ll be doing some Olympic Spotlights, since there are always more impressive athletes to showcase than our Dazzler of the Day will allow. Stay tuned…

Clinching the number one position on the men’s gymnastics Olympic team representing the USA, Frederick Richard is crowned as Dazzler of the Day in glorious anticipation of this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, France. Helming our Olympic gymnastics team, Richard has vowed to bring home some medals, even if he’s already proven himself in the past year of competition.
Earning a second trip to the summer Olympics, Ryan Murphy also earns this Dazzler of the Day crowning. Following up on previous golden glory, Murphy is now a veteran, and maybe that means he has a little more to prove. Summer is made for swimming, and Murphy was made for speed – watch both collide in Paris next month.
An Olympic superstar, Michael Phelps helps continue the fanfare for this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, France. Phelps is no stranger to the five rings, holding the record of the most decorated Olympian in history (28 medals). More recently he’s been speaking out on mental health, something that may prove just as compelling and important for those in need of support. He earns his first Dazzler of the Day for his legacy and his efforts to keep making a difference. (And his previous penchant for going naked doesn’t hurt.)
This summer’s Olympics in Paris is shaping up to be a Speedo-centric event, as all summer Olympic Games should be, so we begin with this gratuitous Tom Daley Speedo pic, and congratulate US Divers Greg Duncan and Tyler Downs for helping Team USA qualify for a spot at that event. Looking forward to seeing all these men perform in the Paris pool.
In the meantime, more Tom Daley, who has proven a hit on this blog thanks to posts like the following:

Gearing up for the Summer Olympics 2024 in Paris, France, this is a continuation of our first summer Olympian found here, and it finds us splashing into the pool with Noah Williams. Partnering up with Tom Daley (a power move of itself) Williams earns his crowning as Dazzler of the Day, a title that Daley clinched a couple of years ago. Williams looks to gain some Olympic gold of his own this summer, and this sets up the water nicely. {See also Tom Daley and Matty Lee.}
The Summer Olympics 2024, hosted by Paris, France, are still a few months away, but our road to them begins with this Dazzler of the Day, Shilese Jones, who hopes to bring home the glory and the gold for Team USA as part of our gymnastics team. That group has already won the gold medal at the 2022 and 2023 World Championships. Summer is always special – but the summers of the Olympics have even more luster to them.
Olympic rower Robbie Manson provides scintillating fodder on his OnlyFans account, a method of money-making that many an Olympic athlete has fortuitously indulged in over the past year. Happy to see an acceptance of healthy sexual expression becoming more mainstream (and a tad regretful that it wasn’t around when my body was way more OnlyFans-ready). In this case, Manson earns his first Dazzler of the Day crowning for all that he’s been showing off, starting with that incredible talent.
Australian gymnast Heath Thorpe has his sight set on the Olympic Games, which is about the loftiest goal an athlete can have, and as such he earns his first Dazzler of the Day crowning. As an openly-gay athlete, Thorpe also considers himself an LGBTQ+ advocate, something that has been surprisingly missing from the vast majority of the world of men’s gymnastics. Here’s to changing that for the better.
Olympic speed skater Erin Jackson raced to a gold medal in the 500 meter event, becoming the first US woman to win that medal since Bonnie Blair in 1994 – she’s also the first Black woman to win an individual gold medal in speed skating ever according to the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Today Jackson earns one more honor: Dazzler of the Day, for all of the above reasons.
