Olympians possess athletic talent, unparalleled discipline and, lest we forget—ridiculously fit bods.
Years of dedication and training all come down to the next couple weeks as 10,500 athletes from more than 200 countries compete for medals in 42 sports, the party really getting started last night during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
And we'd be lying if we didn't admit that part of the excitement of tuning into the Olympics lies in getting an eyeful of some seriously physically fit physiques.
Happily, it's Speedo time today, as our favorite swimmers start hitting the pool this morning.
To keep all of our hearts racing in between events, we've gathered together some of the most stunning physiques that have graced the Olympic stage over the years.
