Is Bernard Lagat the most handsome Kenyan-born runner of all time?

It's hard to say, but we do know something about the size of their balls.

Paul Tergat has one of the most beautiful smiles of any world class runner.

i would have to say Elias Koech who used to run for UTEP and now runs for the OTC elite has to be the most handsome kenyan runner ever! damn he is fine!!!!

Who is "shore" and is this "shore" into porn enough to want to watch Lagat?

Paulie Shore of course.

Of course Kobe is considered attractive. He has millions in the bank and makes millions more each year. Therefore, he is attractive. Don't you understand American values?

Sorry what? American values? Not really that different anywhere you go. If anything it's worse in many countries where being rich makes you much more powerful in comparison to other men.

In terms of black runners I always thought Chelanga was good looking... or Bairu :)

I've always thought Tergat is a pretty handsome guy. Great smile, too, which this picture with Drew Barrymore doesn't show.

Wow!

This lady looks a little hypnotised.

I cannot believe that men are talking about such a topic. Wow!

Wow ... what an odd couple, Drew Barrymore and Paul Tergat. Never thought I'd see the day

This thread must be one of the greatest trolling efforts of all time. These are not real men discussing this, unless they have tongue firmly planted in cheek.

He's definitely up there. David Rudisha is a contenter as well.

Ethiopian runners are the most handsome man

Yes, he is HOT. I will take him any day!

Evan Jager has them all beat. That boy it hawt.

I'm actually female, don't know about everyone else on this thread though.

My list of the 5 hottest American runners in no particular order: Wheating, Jager, Torrence, Fernandez... maybe Cabada (he has modeled before) or Josh Cox (Bacholerette!).

actually they do have very similar features

Lagat is much better looking than Kobe. His eyes are big and shine with intelligence, while Kobe's are somewhat beady and closer together. Also, Lagat's eyebrows give him an exotic look which Kobe lacks. Kobe has pointed ears that make him look like a dobermen, while Lagat's are perfect. Kobe's nose is slightly large, while Lagat's is just right. Lagat has prominent cheekbones and well defined facial features, but Kobe's face is rather boring. Lagat has a well sculpted, masculine jaw, while Kobe's jaw is barely there. Kobe's cranium is enormous, but Lagat's is well proportioned. Lagat's smile lights up the room, while Kobe's is more of a smirk. When it comes to charisma, Lagat blows Kobe away. As fas as bodies go, I can understand if you prefer Kobe's more muscular build and dig tattoos. But otherwise, Lagat is a far more handsome man than Kobe.

But enough of that... I am enjoying the responses so far and agree that many of the Kenyan-born runners being mentioned such as Tergat, Chelanga, and Choge are extremely handsome. I am sticking with my man Lagat, but respect your opinions and can understand where you are coming from. Tergat is certainly getting a lot of well deserved votes, and it's refreshing to hear that so many of you can appreciate a leaner, more traditional runner's physique. Keep the ideas flowing!

I am happy to see a lady posting in this thread, and think that is an excellent top 6! I hope I didn't offend you by stating my opinion that Lagat is better looking than Wheating... especially given my screenname. I am quite eager to learn which Kenyan-born runners you find most attractive!

I find Chelanga to be quite good looking. More good looking than Lagat actually.
