Olympic men

Down Under

Introducing the Australian swim team...

From left to right we have Andrew Lauterstein, Matt Welsh, Brenton Rickard and Eamon 'Sullo' Sullivan who's motto is: 'Pain is temporary, glory is forever'.

These boys take their sport seriously!

American idol

Olympic and world champion Jeremy Wariner is looking to break Michael Johnson's long-standing 400m record in Beijing.

He's focused, fit and very easy on the eye.

Britain's top model

The 50m freestyle world record holder maybe the oldest member of the swimming team at 36, but he's still hot.

We love you Mark Foster!

Jump for your love

A born and bred Londoner, Phillips Idowu is a statuesque 1.92 metres.

He is one of the more flamboyant competitors, keen on sporting a variety of hair colours and facial piercings.

Swim star

The lovely 22-year-old Liam Tancock shattered the global mark for 50 metres backstroke at the British Olympic Trials to become the first British man in history to hold a world backstroke record.

We look forward to seeing a lot more of him!

Breast man

Sorry, yes more swimwear, this time modelled by Italy's Alessandro Terrin.

However he's not just a pretty face, he's the former 50 metre breaststroke world record holder, so expect to see him in the medals.

Ball boy

Ranked eighth in the world by the ATP, James Blake didn't compete in the Athens Olympics so he is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to play in Beijing...

And we are eagerly awaiting his matches!

Boxing beauty

Khalid Yafai is definitely one to watch.

He doesn't drink or smoke and the former under-17 world champion doesn't take his boxing lightly. Speaking about the Beijing Olympics, he said: 'I'm going there for a medal, not a holiday.'

Diving diva

Dive champ David Boudia claimed three gold medals at the Speedo U.S. Open Championships.

He is very much the 'all Amercian boy', but with more flexibility and a head for heights.

Hurdle hero

While not classically good looking, Liu Xiang certainly has something about him.

His coach may have initially described his technique as 'terrible', but he went on to become world champion in the 2007 110m hurdles and he is the current Olympic gold medal holder. Can he repeat his success in Beijing?
