There will be only two blog posts today, but this last one is a doozy, filled with shirtless Olympic hunks and a grand recap of all that came during this year’s Olympic Games. Get ready for a link-a-licious explosion of the wonder of these Winter Games, and feast your eyes on all the athletes who brought such heat to the frozen season.
We begin with the biggest star of these Olympic Games, who earned a Team Bronze Medal in Figure Skating: Adam Rippon. He strode into PyeongChang with deliberate, defiant and deserved confidence, taking the world by storm with his entertaining quips and quick-witted sound-bites. He took down the evil Mike Pence with a few well-chosen words and Tweets, yet remained focus on what he was there for. In the end he became the face of the future: a world of athletes unbound by sexual labels or limitations.
Tantamount to Rippon was another openly-gay athlete, Gus Kenworthy, whose nude ESPN spread was a highlight of this website (and it was the gift that kept on giving). After his try for Olympic gold, he kissed his boyfriend on live television and we all melted a little. (His cheeky Instagram posts didn’t hurt either.)
Chris Mazdzer added a major thirst factor to these Olympics, with his penchant for showing off a hairy chest in previous social media moments (and these GIFs from a gratuitous Cosmopolitan story).
