Ladies, it's time to objectify men. These are the hottest male track and field stars according to NY Mag.

Bernie Lagat on the list

David Oliver off the list

On Ben Blankenship:

Blankenship looks like he makes his own kombucha, but not in an annoying way. (Because he’s hot.)

This is the funniest thing I've read all week.

Imagine telling someone that to their face.

"Hey, I always wanted to tell you this, but you really look like you make your own kombucha. [pause] Not in an annoying way though, in a good way! Just wanted you to know :)"

Ryan Lochte

If this is missing Damian Warner it should be disregarded.

Yes, this is true.

They write like they're 15.

You guys. A bunch of distance runners were just included on a list of hot men. There is HOPE.

I guess Ivan Ukhov would be banned from the list?

With an all-time nod to Roman Seberle (the Mark Harmon of track):

also easy on the eyes are:

Adam Gemili

Damian Warner

also agree with someone above about David Oliver.

And the 110 hurdles also offer up Devon Allen

Straight male here, let's get to work guys and gals.

Will Geoghegan - Not sure how good this guy is at running but he is a total dreamboat and dating equally hot Leah O'Connor

Nick Symmonds - Your personal opinions aside, this guy is a slightly less attractive Brad Pitt

Jordan Mcnamara - The first guy to get laid at a bar

Donn Cabral - Just a nice looking fellow

Tom Farrell - Nice hair, gets a boost for being British, probably wouldn't make this list if he was American

Ben True - Cute dad type

There are probably lesser known runners who are hotter. Maybe it's because I am a straight dude but I don't find the emaciated male runner type to be very attractive. The women of track and field on the other hand, ooo la la

These all look pretty emaciated to me, with the exception of Symmonds. 800m is the way to go:

Kevin Lopez from Spain

Pierre Ambroise Bosse from France

Casimir Loxom

I have a soft spot for Mark Wieczorek and at 1500m then Ryan Gregson and Charlie Grice but they're a bit scrawny for my taste.

Maybe we should put together Let's Run calendars.

This is controversial, but Galen Rupp seems attractive to me.

More standard:

Nick Symmonds

Ryan Hall (but probably off-puttingly irritating in real life)

Lawrence Clarke (British hurdler, great hair)

Alan Webb (obviously)

Australian 1500m Jeffrey Wisely

Dayron Robles

Jonathon and Kevin Borlee

Any Scandinavian athletes

Outside the sprints, middle distance and hurdlers, most male athletes are too scrawny to be much use at anything other than running, its not a great body type outside that one sector, and I don't find bulky field athletes attractive.

Least attractive - Mo Farah - bald, skinny, annoying beard, voice and attitude. I don't like how he doesn't support his teammates yet has creamed off what he needed from the British system.

I like your scrawny list.

Hassan Mead - nice looking.

Rudisha - a fine specimen.

Symmonds - a tool....the shaped eyebrows, the chunk, the gimmicks...

Mo - not hot for reasons stated by Goggles - maybe this explains his wife situation.

Rupp - beautiful fitness....face and personality are cringe-inducing.

I can think of a few gorgeous sub elite runners....what's going on with the pros?

Unfortunately, Trey Hardee is gone, so we are left with lesser eye candy to discuss

Hottest distance runner:

*Matt Centrowitz*

(Evan Jager is a runner-up, Ben is not hot by any standards, and Lagat are you kidding me - maybe for those into older dudes)

Other athletes: Eaton is good looking, and Clement has a nice smile and bod but really none of the guys listed in the OP's link are that hot. I've always found devon allen pretty cute, but not so sure if that is personal taste

Curious as to how many women venture here. I imagine this thread won't be so popular

Lol re Centrowitz. I find his personality so unappealing, but he is starting to look better (less stupid, more hot) with age and the dearth of hotness in men's T&F. The bar is falling. Guys, get your $hit together.

Trey hardee was unbelievably hot.

I used to think Chris Derrick was a babe back when he was in college. Bernard lagat, no thanks.

None of the distance runners, gross super skinny bodies. Can't even cuddle. All of the swimmers for sure!

Ashton Eaton is easily the hottest guy on the list.

My GF insists he is gay.

"But he's married," I say.

"Like that proves anything," she say.

Haha, I thought that was just me (spent my formative years around swimmers and water polo players). Always wanted to love the runners, but they don't know how to act like studs even when given the chance. Shall hyperlink some fine looking things the next time I need to procrastinate.

She's right, doesn't prove anything. But no, I don't think he's gay. Doesn't set off my gaydar, at least.

so trueee I've always had a crush on ben true and his blue collar vibes

eric jenkins and lukas verzbicas should really be included in this discussion too
