It doesn't take a genius to understand why the entire world drops everything to tune into the Olympic Games every two years.

Summer Olympians are more prone to flashing skin, what with their barely-there swim trunks and all, but that doesn't mean their Winter Olympic counterparts aren't just as steamy when they strip out of that restrictive winter gear.
A naked athlete is a great athlete, so without further ado, we bring you the 12 hottest winter Olympians.
