Tank Top Tuesday (Plus): Olympic Edition

Do you know how incredibly hard it is to find pictures of Winter Olympic athletes in tank tops? Really, really , really fricking hard. You know why? Because it’s the Winter Olympics. Think layers. Think parkas. Think boots. Think hats, scarves, goggles, mittens. Sheesh. But I found as many as I could and threw in a few non-tank tops because, um, have I mentioned how hard it is to find Winter Olympic athletes in tank tops? Though, there’s something to be said for the delicious surprise of unwrapping all those layers to find what lies beneath. It’s like Christmas morning, with muscles.

Marit Bjørgen is my future wife. Or at least I wish. Just waiting for her to drop her boyfriend and pop out of that closet.

Did you know that Ireen Wüst (speed skating) came out to the Dutch media not long ago? I think she's the first Dutch athlete to actually do that.
