Attractive Olympian: Australian Swimmer Stephanie Rice

Olympic athletes often don't get paid to do anything other than look good. In that vein, Attractive Olympians handicaps which athletes may rake in endorsement deals after the Olympics.

Stephanie Rice is just 19 years old, but already she holds two world records -- in the 200m and 400m individual medleys. Her first impact internationally was at the 2007 Worlds, where she earned a pair of bronze medals. But she's gotten better since then, shattering the world records in the 400 IM by 1.42 seconds and in the 200 IM by nearly a full second.

More recently, Stephanie caused a stir in her native land when Facebook photos of her partying with friends attracted the attention of Swimming Australia, which subsequently instituted stern regulations on the privacy settings for social networking sites and on the kinds of photos swimmers were allowed to post.

The offending photos? A skimpy policeman costume, some dancing in a bar, and some alcoholic beverages with friends (the drinking age is 18 in Australia). You can see those and more in the gallery below.

After the jump, enjoy hard-hitting analysis, our Attractive Olympian poll, and the engrossing Attractive Olympian photo gallery.
