Okay, does that headline do a fairly good job of making it seem that this post is somehow more noble than just an opportunity to ogle the powerful glutes and impossibly toned triceps of some of the hottest men in athletics? No? Well, I'll try harder next time.

For now, enjoy some hot technically impressive action shots from the Men's Artistic Gymnastics competition, in which the USA team took home the bronze medal after China (gold) and Japan (silver). I'm sticking to my theory that they only won because they're the only teams that didn't have jet-lag. Rematch!
