Olympic champions don't tend to be remarkably good looking.
Seb Coe had a certain charm. He must be a shoe-in for most handsome 1500m champ
Perhaps you mean shoo-in?
Jean Claude Killy

He won the Olympic 1500, twice.

I know Chuck Norris can swim in the long jump pit but I don't think Ryan competes in T&F.
Not the most handsome, but handsome: Bruce Jenner. It is startling, sad, and tragic what the guy has done to his face over the years. When cosmetic surgery is bad, and when it is excessive, the results can be...really nasty.

Ugly people gravitate towards sports that require tons of training and discipline. Feelings of being physically deficient drive people to try and prove themselves in the athletic arena, and since most people aren't good at sports that require coordination and agility, the path of least resistance is sports like running, wrestling, cycling and swimming.
You're a bunch of fags.
I think you meant "Your a bunch of fags."

I saw graphic evidence of that in the pics of your last meet-up. X 3
Hmmm.
Jamin, that explains pole vaulters, right? They are by far the most attractive T&F athletes. And nothing requires co-ordination like the pole vault.
Bob Mathias was pretty good-looking--but then so was Rafer Johnson, and they were in the same event.
In the marathon, maybe Sohn Kee-Chung (http://fredvarcoe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Sohn-Kee_217868k.jpg) or Abebe Bikila? Neither one was a pretty boy, but they both had kind of classic features.
Dammit, you beat me to it. Jenner in his youth had it all. Ashton Eaton isn't a bad looking guy either but not the pretty boy Jenner was. Emphasis on WAS!!! Now, if you want "pretty boy" check out Sam Jenner, his son. A product of great genetics on both sides when it comes to looks.
From the neck down, I'd have to side with some decathletes such as Eaton but overall physique perfection of the male athlete has to come from the 400 meters. Great combination of length, mass and proportion in many cases. Broad shoulders, narrow hips to go with. Steve Lewis 88 400 champion as a teenager for example. Guys like Duane Solomon in the 800 fit that category as well.
On the women's side, I favor the length of some of the high jumpers but they can get a little too stretched out and not enough on top for me the better they are. As far as a rockin bod goes, probably someone of Dawn Harper's physique. Again, from the neck down. A one bagger for sure!!!
