I’m sure many of you have heard of the Warwick Rowers by now, but if not here’s a sexy little post to get you up to speed. The team which was founded in 1966 competes very successfully around the globe and is now on the verge of top tier status in British rowing. The Warwick Rowing team features so many hot young athletes that seeing their pics is like looking at an A&F catalog.
But these are not just pretty faces as the team produced some of the most outstanding rowers of recent years, including Tom Solesbury (Current British Olympian and World Cup Championship medalist, Boat Race winner with Oxford in 2009) and Ben Ellison (2011 Boat Race winner with Oxford). You can check out the Warwick Rowers naked in their upcoming calendar for 2014, as well as in a short film “Bigger, Longer and Uncut” to promote their cause.
So there’s a purpose behind their nudity. These boys aren’t just getting naked for a cheap tease. In 2012 the boys posed nude in support of raising funds for a charity called the Ben Cohen foundation, which is an organization formed to help combat homophobia. That effort went so well that this year they formed their own charity called EACH (Educational Action Combating Homophobia). You can read an amazing interview with the founders at their university newspaper The Boar.
I highly recommend you check out the Warwick Rowers site to get more familiar with the team and their great cause. They claim they have several promising rowers who have joined recently and will shortly be bringing you individual biographies of some of the guys we’d get a glimpse at from their calendar.
