Olympic male U.S. gymnast Danell Leyva has shot right to the top of our list in a very crowded field of favorite athletes. It may have something to do with his proclivity for sending nude and semi-nude pics of himself to adoring fans.

Mind you those fans are women, but when those women are selflessly sharing those pics with the world, it feels like we're all connected! It's a true testament to the Olympic spirit.
