And this time it is character, and not eye candy.
Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov- A total CLASS ACT:
Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov tries to calm spectators booing during the men’s horizontal bar final at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games gymnastics competition, August 23, 2004. Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov’s score was booed by spectators for 10 minutes bringing the competition to a standstill until the gymnast appealed for the crowd to calm down. Nemov finished 5th.
Nemov should win a gold for Sportsmanship.
But just in case you needed some eye candy, there is always this reason to watch the Olympics:

I commented to my wife last night about the huge contrast between Nemov’s behavior and that of Korkhina. I might have made a none too veiled reference to the current Whiny Scream Team masquerading as the US men’s basketball team.

I disagree. The Russian gymnast is EYE candy. Not all your readers are men, you know.

Mr. Nemov is certainly easy to look at. In fact he looks like a blond version of my oldest son ;)
The Brazilian ladies are certainly handsome too, but those thongs look awfully uncomfortable.
