Road to Rio: Damian Warner

From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things


'The best way to falter in the decathlon? Think too much.'


 Canadian decathlete Damian Warner is on his way to Rio to give USA's Ashton Eaton a run for his money. Although Warner is not expected by many to win, he is Canada's best hope for a gold in the sport. The shy and soft spoken Warner shows his strength when competing and with his incredible body model good looks, is a pleasure to watch in action.

Team U.S.A. swimmer Ryan Lochte is sporting an interesting new hair color in Rio this week, and we sure hope it’ll help him bring home another gold medal to add to his collection.
The 31-year-old two-time Olympian, who boasts an impressive 11 Olympic medals — five gold, three silver, and three bronze — debuted his new ice blue locks on Instagram this week.

“New look…. Here We Go #Rio #2016” he wrote, posting a photo of the dyeing process as well as the finished product.

Lochte is a natural brunet but you wouldn’t be able to tell now that he’s dyed the hair on his head!

Back in 2013, Lochte revealed that he stays fast in the pool by shaving literally every inch of his body — a daunting task that can take up to five hours.

Below, watch the legend himself shave with a gold-plated razor:

 French gymnast Samir aït Saïd snapped and broke his leg during a horrifying accident at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, August 6.





 While landing a Vault, his leg snapped at remained at an unnatural angle.  It is unclear whether the surface contributed to the incident.  While being carried to the ambulance, the many first responders dropped the stretcher.  He now appears to be resting comfortably at the hospital, before transport back to France.

We'll keep him in our best thoughts...
