Blaine Wilson
Blaine Wilson is a five-time National Champion in gymnastics who made three Olympic Teams (1996, 2000, 2004) and is the sexiest man to ever lay foot onto this world, and into a leotard. He hails from Columbus, Ohio, and is the acclaimed gymnastic "rebel with a cause," that cause being to be the best that he can be. And to wear a sexy tongue ring in competition and bear tattoos, which in gymnastics, is taboo and a major no-no. His best events are the still rings, vault, and highbar. The beginning of his third and final Olympic season began with a torn bicep. Though in America he was one of the most dominating forces on the National Team, he had yet to medal outside in a World or Olympic competition. His sights were set on Athens, Greece as being his last and only hope. His injury occured in late February at the Visa American Cup while performing an iron cross on the still rings. To everyone else but him, it was a career-ending injury. He vowed he'd be back in time, no matter what. He went on to make the Olympic Team in August after many months of rehab, and achieved his dream of winning a silver medal in the team competition. Blaine Wilson remains one of the most popular American athletes because he is sexy, he is brave, and he defeated the odds when they were set against him.
