I've always like watching women's beach volleyball but probably the best looking women at the Olympics are the swimmers, even if they dress a lot more modestly when actually competing. But they always look GREAT on the medal stands.
Also I've always loved the figure skaters at the winter olympics, unsurprisingly they always have some great legs.

Soccer is another, all that running outside.

(27,461 posts)The World Sauna Championships were an annual endurance contest held in Heinola, Finland, from 1999 to 2010. They originated from unofficial sauna-sitting competitions that resulted in a ban from a swimming hall in Heinola. The Championships were first held in 1999 and grew to feature contestants from over 20 countries. Sauna bathing at extreme conditions is a severe health risk: all competitors competed at their own risk, and had to sign a form agreeing not to take legal action against the organizers. Notably, the Finnish Sauna Society strongly opposed the event.[1]
After the death of one finalist and near-death of another during the 2010 championship, the organizers announced that they would not hold another.[2] This followed an announcement by prosecutors in March that the organizing committee would not be charged for negligence, as their investigation revealed that the contestant who died may have used painkillers and ointments that were forbidden by the organizers.[3]

(9,527 posts)pretty much all of the endurance events. Things like shooting or weight lifting that don't require aerobic exercise over long periods tend to have less of the lean form that I find most attractive.
That said, I don't consider the attractiveness of the athletes as part of the reason to watch the games. Watching people at their peak play and compete is more than reason enough.
