Cheryl Bernard
Team: Canada
Sport: Curling
Cheryl is the team's skip, winning the silver medal in Women's Curling. Basically, the skip calls the shots (who doesn't love a bossy curler?) Both of Bernard's parents curled when she was a child, and she jokes that the curling club "Was our babysitter." She remembers playing hide and seek in the locker rooms. Hmmmmm, that gives us a great idea... where is their next match?
Vanessa James
Team: France
Sport: Pairs Figure Skating
She is part of the first Black figure-skating pair, with her partner Yannick Bonheur. They came in 14th overall, but she's tops on our "shallow as a puddle" hot Olympians for 2010. James originally competed domestically in the United States and internationally for Great Britain as a single skater. She is the 2006 British national champion and 2007 national silver medalist. She switched to pair skating in 2007 and teamed up with Yannick Bonheur to compete for France.
Sidney Crosby
Team: Canada
Sport: Hockey
Oh Sidney! What more do we have to say? He currently serves as Captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins – we are convinced that this kid will make NHL history again and again. Surprise! He already has! In 2007, Crosby became the youngest player in NHL history to win the Lester B. Pearson award! He’s already won the Stanley Cup but we could care less about that! His salary = $43.5 MILLION. He doesn’t have to win any medals because he could buy as many as he wants!
Tanith Belbin
Team: USA
Sport: Ice Dancing
She’s competing for the US even though she is originally from Canada. Tanith finished 4th overall at the 2010 games. Unable to find a dance partner in Canada, Belbin moved to Detroit in 1998. We are thrilled that she crossed the boarder and is playing for our team (NO not the gay team, Team USA!)
Stefan Read
Team: Canada
Sport: Ski Jumping
We have a softspot for twinky Canadians because they are just so rare! Stefan is exceptional and we couldn’t get over watching how fast and high he can fly through the air, it doesn’t hurt that Read is 5’9” and weighs just 132 lbs! Amazing! We just want to pack him up and take him home! The best part about him? Stefan’s nickname is Pecker!
Kimiko Zakreski
Team: Canada
Sport: Snowboarding
Kimi, as she is more commonly referred to, is a member of the Canadian National Team and a star on the hit MTV reality show, Over the Bolts, which documents the Canadian Olympic Snowboard team and the athletes push for a coveted spot on the Canadian Olympic squad. This is one of those cases where we aren't sure if we want to sleep with her or BE her... Either way, we think she's one of the coolest athletes at the games this year.
Justin Olsen
Team: USA
Sport: Bobsled
Justin Olsen is also part of the undeniably hot Team USA Men’s bobsled team. Also a newcomer to the sport, Olsen was convinced by his mother to tryout for the team. Lo and behold, we’re glad he did!
Shelley Rudman
Team Great Britain
Sport: Skeleton
Spandex, speed and an accent... our hormones melt the very ice she hurls herself down face first! Rudman shot to fame at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy by winning the silver medal in the skeleton event. The medal was the first and only medal to be won at the Games by a GBR athlete. She didn't medal this time around, but perhaps she will feel the "honor" of being the only GBR athlete to make our female list (though we doubt it... we still love her)
Christof Innerhofer
Team: Italy
Sport: Alpine Skiing
Don’t let the name fool you, Christof Innerhofer is VERY much Italian! He is a specialist of the downhill and the super-G…he didn’t medal in Vancouver but o dio che Bello!
Petra Majdič
Team: Slovenia
Sport: Cross Country Skiing
Petra is one of Slovenia's best cross country skiers.And if we were to list all of her World Cup wins we would be here until the next Winter Olympics. And these Olympics were no different.. she leaves with a Bronze medal to add to her phenomenal career. Oh, did we mention she sustained five broken ribs along with a pneumothorax during a practice run? Rugged and hot. We have already applied to be her nurse maid. We hope our first aid certificate from 4th grade will qualify us.
Igor Sarcevic
Team: Republic of Serbia
Sport: Bobsleigh, Four-Man
We don’t know much about this 6’3” Serbian who is part of the Four-Man bobsleigh team, but we do know that we will be watching as he competes for the Gold! Check out those earrings!
Andrea Henkel
Team: Germany
Sport: Biathalon
Andrea has already won three Olympic medals and she added to her impressive medal collection by winning the Bronze for the 4x6 Women's Relay. When not shooting and skiing she is a member of the German Army. Glad Germany is one of our allies. We would have to surrender to her if we were on oppostie sides in a battle. Beauty and brawn makes this biathlete tops on our list
Matthew Morison
Team: Canada
Sport: Snowboarding
Matthew Morison (not the guy from Glee) has got everything we look for in a snowboarding boyfriend: a great smile, piercing blue eyes, and DAMN he knows how to move when he’s nailed to that board! Matthew’s main event will take place during the last day of the games…so we’ll be watching!
Liudmila Privivkova
Team: Russia
Sport: Curling
Another hot curling lass makes our list. At the 2006 Winter Olympics, in Turin, Italy, she was the skip for the Russian team. Apart from the national team, she plays for the Moskvitch Curling Club, from Moscow. She won the World Junior Curling Championships in Jeonju, Korea on March 19, 2006 and the 2006 European Curling Championships in December the same year. Honestly, we don't really understand how curling is a sport, but as long as Liudmila is on the squad we are thrilled to watch her hurl a piece of granite down the ice.
