OLYMPIC SWIMMER / MAGIC MIKE EXTRA? OF THE DAY. DEMONSTRATED BY RYAN LOCHTE

Once every four years, the world collectively appears to decide to care about certain groups of sportsmen, who, for the remainder of time, splash about in relative obscurity. Swimmers and gymnasts are top of this "For The Olympics Only" list.

Right now.

It is swimming’s 15 minutes.

Co-incidentally, the hit show of the moment features questionably-dressed male strippers, with rippling abs and waxed physiques.

The mash-up of Hot Male Athlete Who Takes His Clothes Off and Male Sex Object Who Takes His Clothes Off should bring joy to at least 50% of the world.

But does it?

I, for one, think Ryan Lochle (Team USA’s very own Magic Mike) looks very much more cool in the pool.

    He’s adorable, but much like a male stripper probably better in the “seen but not heard” category.
