Another Roy and HG classic moment involving the “downstairs area” of male gymnasts. These are the famous commentaries of the men’s gymnastics floor exercises, responsible for coining a whole bunch of new sporting phrases such as “crazy date”, “party date”, “hello boys” and, of course, “flat bag”.

I don’t doubt that the majority of Australians have either thought or said these phrases when watching the floor excerises at the Beijing Olympics.

And here’s my bumper sticker from the fridge depicting all the required movements. It’s too precious to put on the car.

The Olympics is primarily populated by young people. When it comes to the sports of athletics, cycling, gymnastics and swimming, you’re over the hill when you turn 25. But a number of women have ignored conventional wisdom and are now Olympians in 2008. Post motherhood.

German Oksana Chusovitina is 33 and has been a gymnast for 20 years. When I saw her competing amongst the pre-pubescent girls that dominate in her sport, I was just so thrilled. One for us old chicks.

Ditto with 41 year old Dara Torres who won a medal as part of the US 4×100m relay and also came second in the 50m freestyle final. I’ve seen some suggest that she may be flagrantly using drugs. I must admit, it’s possible… but I can’t help but cheer for her anyway.

And what about Romanian Constantina Dita-Tomescu who won the women’s marathon. 38 years old and she just blitzed them. Amazing.

French cyclist Jeannie Longo only just missed winning a medal in her event. “When I race I don’t feel like I’m 50, I don’t race with a calendar. I had never felt as much power in me,” she said.

Wasted far too much time this afternoon watching the synchronised diving, mainly because of the gorgeous guys in the Canadian team – Alexandre Despatie and Arturo Miranda. Lovely eye candy, especially given they’re wearing only Speedos for their events.

And Michael Phelps may be cleaning up the gold medals in Swimming, but who can deny that Eamon Sullivan is simply the most delectable guy at the pool.

NBC has a selection of male swimming torsos here but they fail by leaving out Eamon as far as I’m concerned. Check out the photos on Google if you’re not convinced of his inherent hotness.

So the Beijing Olympics are in full swing and that means I’m getting terribly distracted by gorgeous male swimmers, gymnasts, divers, rowers and… well pretty much all of them. There’s a veritable plethora of gloriously toned and muscled male flesh on display and a lot of the time its packed into lycra, as you can see in the video above.

Actually, I just had to include the clip from Roy and HG’s The Dream, which screened during the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Damn, it was a good show and unfortunately they’re not doing it this time around.

The other thing about The Dream is it reminds me of just how fantastic things were during the Sydney Olympics. I’m something of a cynic but I look back and think that September 2000 was a good time to be alive. We’d just hit the millennium and it really did feel like the world might just stop being a shithole for once. There really was a lot of goodwill happening – towards Aborigines, towards women, towards other nations. North and South Korea marched together. And we were not taking it too seriously either, as you can see with Roy and HG. Everybody just wanted to get together, party and pretend that peace really was possible.

And then, pretty much a year later, two planes went into a building and it all went to hell.

Ah well. Enough negativity. Enjoy Roy and HG – and the evident excitement of the rowers. “They’re definitely not coxless teams.”

It’s three days until the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony and I have to say I’m disappointed. There haven’t been the usual spate of nude Australian athlete photos. Not like 2004, when you couldn’t move for Olympian vag and peen (I blogged about it at the time). Remember The Athens Dream?

Phwoar, hey? This time around they’ve all decided to be modest, which is a damn shame. And Michael Klim (above) has retired, both from swimming and from getting out the tackle for art magazines.

The British have thankfully taken up the slack, however, as the above pic from this Daily Mail article reveals. The photos are part of an advertising campaign for Powerade, apparently.

I would very much like to see the delectable Eamon Sullivan get the gear off, especially now he’s a single man. The guy wins hands down in the hotness stakes at the pool.

If you want more nude olympians, Nerve have compiled a list of the 12 Best Nude Athlete pictorials. And the SMH has a list of notorious Australian nude athletes, but no pics, unfortunately. Pravda has a list of Russian female athletes who have gone nude (with links to pics) here.

ESPN has a list of the hottest male athletes here but they’re all fully clothed. It does, however, make me want to see Carlos Moya nude.

(Actually, I sometimes wonder if Carlos strides onto the tennis court and murmurs: “My name is Carlos Moya, you killed my father. Prepare to die.”)

ANYWAY… if you want to avoid all the artiness and just get straight down to perving on celebrities, visit Male Celebs. Their archive features a heap of male athletes.
