Olympic athletes often don't get paid to do anything other than look good. In that vein, Attractive Olympians handicaps which athletes may rake in endorsement deals after the Olympics.Michael Phelps set his first world record in 2001, three months before his sixteenth birthday. In Athens in 2004, he equaled Mark Spitz's record of four gold medals in individual events and became the second Olympian to ever collect eight medals at a single Olympic Games. He followed that up with a historic six gold medals in six events at the 2007 World Championships.
He is, in short, the best swimmer in the world, and at age 22 is poised to become the greatest swimmer history.
That's all fine and dandy, but is he hot? Does he have the sex appeal to market the products from his sponsors at Speedo, Visa, Omega, and PowerBar?
More photos, in-depth analysis, and the ever-important superficial poll after the jump.
Winning medals like Mark Spitz: awesome. Wearing his mustache: less so.

1. Dude, I'm a completely straight male and I can see he's smokin' hot. I'm thinking women must have to fill out an application and wait several years to get a date with that guy.
