Sexiest Men Alive, Olympics Edition! Meet the Swimmers Making a Major Splash on the Internet

From Italy's Thomas Ceccon to Team USA's gold medal winning relay team, see some of the hottest athletes in the pool at the 2024 Paris games

The water is cold but the swimmers are hot this year at the Paris Olympics!

From the gold medal-winning swimmers on Team USA to Great Britain's synchronized diving dynamic duo made up of Tom Daley and Noah Williams, these athletes are not only bringing their A-game to the summer games, they're also getting major attention online for their abs, flowing hair and dazzling smiles. (And, of course, their athletic ability.)

Whether its racing, diving or playing water polo, here are just some of the athletes heating up the pool at the Olympics this year.

Thomas Ceccon

After Italy won the bronze during the men's 4x100m freestyle relay, the internet set their eyes on 23-year-old Thomas Ceccon. After accidentally flashing his abs during the medal ceremony on July 27, he became an internet sensation with one  TikTokuser saying that Ceccon and his teammates looked like “Calvin Klein models.” 

Tom Daley & Noah Williams

After making his first Olympic appearance at the 2008 Beijing games, Tom Daley has grown up in front of the world's eyes as an Olympic diver. This year, the 30-year-old dad-of-two took home the silver (his fifth medal) alongside Noah Williams in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform.

Jack Alexy, Chris Guiliano, Hunter Armstrong & Caeleb Dressel

These four men were responsible for Team USA's first Olympic gold medal this year and we can't think of a better reason to be a part of this list. Caeleb Dressel, Jack Alexy, Chris Guiliano and Hunter Armstrong won it all during the 4x100-meter freestyle relay on July 27.

Léon Marchand

The 22-year-old French athlete took home the gold for Men's 400m Individual Medley on July 27.

"A DREAM CAME TRUE !! MERCI PARIS 💙," Marchand, whose dad was also an Olympian, wrote on Instagram following the milestone moment.

Team USA Water Polo

With a team this strong — and this handsome — it would be impossible to pick just one. So why not include them all! The team of 13 athletes, all hailing from California, won their first game of the 2024 Olympics against Greece on July 27. Though they lost the following two games, on July 30 they beat Romania 14-8.

Nicolò Martinenghi

Italy's Nicolò Martinenghi took home the gold on July 28 for his performance in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke final. The newly-minted gold medalist also went bleach-blonde ahead of this year's games which no one here is complaining about.

Xu Jiayu

In his fourth Olympic appearance, China's Xu Jiayu took home his third career silver medal in the Men's 100m Backstroke. He showed off a sweet smile and his tousled hair along with his brand-new medal.

"Bob the Cap Catcher"

In just a few days of the games, there's already been a slew of viral moments. One of these moments came in the form of "Bob the Cap Catcher" who was seen hopping into the pool to retrieve Emma Weber's lost swim cap following the women’s 100-meter breaststroke.

The crowd cheered as "Bob" — a nickname given to him by the commentators on the NBC broadcast — dove in in his colorful Speedo before emerging having successfully retrieved the cap. As the source of such a wholesome moment, it was only fitting he rounded out our list of favorite men poolside.
