Catch the hunky athlete compete in judo, pin some boys to mats, and win our hearts in the city of lights.
Dan Jervis
Jervis, who came out in 2022, comes to Paris as a freshly minted out queer athlete, and we can't get enough of this gorgeous swimmer. Lucky for us, he's also got a big heart who represents Great Britain with style and grace.
Oh, and did we mention that he's also a Swiftie?
Robbie Manson
Manson turns up the heat with his recent foray into OnlyFans, supplementing his professional athlete earnings with loads of eye candy. The gay rower representing New Zealand continues to show us how to balance sexy looks:
...with professional grace.
Nick Albiero
The NCAA champion athlete is headed to his first Olympic Games with passion and pride. Though Albiero has dual citizenship with the United States and Brazil, he joined the Brazilian Swimming Federation in 2023 and will swim for his home country. We are all eyes on the handsome swimmer as he goes for the gold!
Nico Young
Representing Team USA, the out gay runner will compete in the men's 10,000m race. He's cemented his status as the first out gay male track and field athlete.
At a ripe age of 21, Young, who came out in 2022 with a post on Instagram, understands the role he plays in being an inspiration to young people around the world to live their truth.
"I am living proof that it is not a choice," Nico wrote in an Instagram post. "I have struggled to accept myself, but I am becoming more proud and happy with who I am."
Rayan Dutra
Ryan Dutra, who identifies as bisexual, is the first Brazilian trampolinist to qualify for the Olympics. But being vocal about LGBTQ+ rights on the world stage and representing the community is the true honor for Dutra.
"Of course I want to come and talk about our rights," he said in an interview. "The Olympics is a big platform for us athletes to go and do content and talk about everything that we can possibly say."
Quinn
Returning for their third Olympic Games, Quinn is a mainstay of Canadian soccer and aims to continue their winning streak in Paris. But not only is Quinn a medalist, they are the first nonbinary and trans medalist in Olympic history.
After recovering from an injury, Quinn arrives in Paris ready for more.
