Attractive Olympian: Sprinter Asafa Powell

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.

Jamaica's Asafa Powell is officially the World's Fastest Man. His first world record in the 100 meters came in 2005 when he ran it in 9.77 seconds; he has since lowered that mark to a paltry 9.74 seconds.

However, his legacy is marred by disappointing results on the grandest stages. He finished fifth at the Athens Olympiad in 2004, and his best finish in the 100 at the World Championships was a bronze in Osaka in 2007. He may be the fastest man ever, but he still needs Olympic gold.

He also needs your approval. Sure, he seems like an attractive man, but has he ever been judged as such by the readers of sports blogs? After the jump, enjoy some shirtless beefcake, analyze our stat sheet, and vote in the blogosphere's most superficial ongoing series.
