25 Hottest Male Winter Sport Athletes
Yesterday I had the pleasant surprise of being featured on the Bleacher Report‘s list of 25 Hottest Female Winter Sport Athletes. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about these lists… On one hand I’m offended that they exist, but on the other hand, I’d be offended if I wasn’t included. There are a few other fellow freeskiers on the list including Ingrid Backstrom, Lynsey Dyer and Grete Eliassen, and though I know each of these ladies is beautiful, it is their skiing that really stands out to me. However, I don’t feel like going into a moral escapade over this right now, so I figured that I’d have some fun and create a list of the hottest male winter sport athletes. This way, the men won’t feel left out. Check out the gallery below. Just like the judging in most of our sports, I’ve rated these men objectively in reverse order, saving the best for last… There is no opinion present.
-
- #25: Simi Hamilton: US Ski Team Nordic Athlete. He’s fitter than you.
-
- #24 Justin Dorey: Canadian halfpipe sensation with the biggest bag of tricks out there.
-
- #23 Shani Davis: US Speed Skating’s shining star, now that Apollo is dancing with the stars.
-
- #22 Walter Wood: Best known for crashing in a halfpipe while wearing a thong, but you gotta love that smile.
-
- #21 Eero Niemela: One of the few snowboarders that made the cut.
-
- #20 Patrice Bergeron: Center for the Boston Bruins and an Olympic Gold Medalist for Canada. Gotta respect our friends up north.
-
- #19 TJ Schiller: Canadian slopestyle legend. Grew up in Vernon, BC like every other pro skier in Canada, but TJ’s won countless gold medals and won our hearts over with his deep sexy voice.
-
- #18 Jon Olsson: One of the original freeskiers, who seemingly got bored and felt it necessary to start wearing spandex. Fine by us, better to see his cut bod.
-
- #17 Cody Townsend: He married Elyse Saugstad, so he must be doing something right.
-
- #16 Blake Nyman: The brother to fellow hot skier dude, Steve Nyman. Blake recently starred in Warren Miller Entertainment’s latest production, “Flow State.”
-
- #15 Alex Schlopy: One of the younger gentlemen to grace our list, but we can’t discriminate. X-Games Ski Big Air gold medalist.
-
- #14 Rory Bushfield: Best known for his switch double backflips, Rory has been putting us in awe for years. Another gift from the North.
-
- #13 Tucker Perkins: New Hampshire native with guns bigger than his quads. Biceps are the most important muscles for skiers.
-
- #12 Sverre Liliquist: Sverre knows how to hold his own in the mountains, he’s a man’s man. And, not so bad for us ladies either.
-
- #11 Bobby Brown: Another youngster, but at least he’s legal. Bobby burst onto the freeskiing scene in 2010 with an almost perfect season in slopestyle. He’s not going anywhere.
-
- #10 Jacob Wester: Jacob.
-
- #9 Johnnie Paxson: The second snowboarder to make the cut, Johnnie has been featured in Ralph Lauren ads with a cast on his wrist from a snowboarding accident. That’s awesome.
-
- #8 Steve Nyman: Downhill ski racer. All the girls that train at the Center of Excellence get really excited when Steve is around. They turn up the heat so he has to take his shirt off.
-
- #7 Patrick Sharp: NHL. I wish I knew more about that sport. I might start paying attention now.
-
- #6 Austin Ross: Austin is a pro skier from BC. Who isn’t?
-
- #5 Aksel Svindal: Besides being really fast on a pair of skis, he dates Julia Mancuso. Or at least used to. Are you still dating?
-
- #4 Steve Langton: US Bobsled team member, World Champion and he can do a standing 62″ box jump. The picture says enough.
-
- #3 Henrik Windstedt: What a guy. I used to see Henrik more when he was doing slope contests, but now he likes to do real skiing. Bummer.
-
- #2 Henrik Lundqvist: NY Rangers prodigious goaly. Yeah, like I said…
-
- #1 KC Deane: Well. Clearly the best looking guy in winter sports. But he could be the best looking guy in sports in general since he’s not only a phenomenal skier, but a crazy good mountain biker as well.
Not a bad one in the bunch…..some clear standouts of course. Perhaps Numero Uno mainly because we know what a badass, sweet, awesome guy he is for real. Or as Nico would say in real life and as Frankie would say “Oh KC, my new private gymnastics coach.” Don’t think he knows that yet. Personally wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating biscuits.
This is amazing. I love it!
Jen, you flatter me. Good thing I just shaved my ‘stache last night. Kick some ass this season!
Haha! Good thing, might have had to blacklist you. Thanks for the good wishes for the season. Hope you annihilate as well!
