The Thirty Golden Men Of The 2016 Olympics

Thirty magnificent men at the top of their game, and with bodies to match. Which one do you want to be on top of?

Our first Olympic encounter was when the gay athletes of the Rio Games earlier this week. We took the top two from that list and added 28 spectacular examples of the sexist males for the ultimate guide to Olympic flesh.

The opening ceremonies will take place this evening.

Which one of these men are you most looking forward to spending the next 16 days with?
