Attractive Olympian: Triathlete Emma Snowsill

She has won the "Grand Slam" of Chicago, City of Los Angeles, London and New York Triathlons plus multiple ITU World Cup events. She was also the female winner of the 2005 and 2006 Lifetime Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis, Minnesota, three times Noosa International Triathlon winner and is the highest award winning woman in triathlon history.

[She is a] multiple World Champion and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist. She is widely regarded as the greatest female triathlete of her generation and one of the greatest of all time.

Psssh, whatever. What we want to know is: is she hot? After the jump, examine more photographic evidence, skim our chart of statistics, and vote in a superficial poll to determine her skin-deep value to consumers.

Attractive Olympian: Triathlete Andy Potts

Olympic athletes often don't get paid to do anything other than look good. In that vein, Attractive Olympians handicaps which athletes may rake in endorsement deals after the Olympics.

Andy Potts has always wanted to be an Olympian. A swimmer at the University of Michigan, he just missed qualifying for the Atlanta Games in 1996 when he finished fourth in the 400 IM at the Olympic Trials -- behind the eventual gold and silver medalists.

Since he failed at reaching the pinnacle of his chosen sport, in 2002 he did what any other freakishly driven person would do: he quit his job and gave himself 18 months to train and qualify for the Olympics in the triathlon. Somehow, it worked: after making the team, Potts went to Athens and was the first competitor out of the water before finishing 22nd.

Now, with a couple more years' experience and training, Potts has become one of the elite athletes in his sport. In 2007, he finished first at the Pan American Games, the USA Triathlon National Championship, and the Ironman World Championship.

While it's a given that he's a gifted, elite athlete, his attractiveness as measured by blog readers remains in doubt. Sure, he may have married a gymnast who performed with Cirque du Soleil, but has he got the All-American looks to make the Wheaties box?

Pictures, analysis, and the ever-important poll after the jump.
