The hashtag #HunksoftheOlympics has trended on Weibo, China’s social media site, or #冬奥会帅哥 (DongaohuiShuaige) in Chinese, where many Netizens have fangirled over the Beijing Game’s “cute” and “sexy” stars.
So we’ve taken a look at the five men who have excelled at grabbing our attention for more than their sporting prowess.
American Samoa: Nathan Crumpton
Nathan Crumpton wowed audiences after entering the opening ceremony as American Samoa’s flag bearer oiled-up and shirtless.
Many were disappointed after Tongan cross-country skier Pita Taufatofua- hunk of the 2020 Tokyo Games- said he would not be coming to the Beijing Games, but to our delight Crumpton surprised us all and filled the eye-candy gap.
If he doesn’t win gold in his event at skeleton, it won’t matter because he’s already won the hearts of many fans across the globe.
