So, we present to you The 7 Sexiest Reasons Chicago Needs to Win The 2016 Olympic Bid.

Yelena Isinbayeva, the slavic stunner, just won Olympic gold in the pole vault competition. So we know she’s good. But is she hot enough to beat the goddess of Track and Field, Alison Stokke? We could spend all night trying to decide, so we hand the judgement over to you.

Which athletic hottie wins on your score card?

Nothing combines the beauty and athletic prowess of the Olympic Games like female athletes showing off their finely tuned bodies without the unnecessary hindrance of clothing. To celebrate the awesomeness of these perfect human specimens, we’ve compiled the quintessential collection of every Olympian to ever strip off her uniform.

In the years to come, we hope to see the likes of Lolo Jones, Almudena Cid, Cat Osterman, Jenn Stuczynski, Alona Bondarenko, Rita Dravucz, Yelena Isinbayeva, and of course, Alison Stokke. But for now, we’ll just have to settle for the 36 who’ve already helped the Games by showing us all exactly what they’re made of.
