I'm watching the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for the sports... I swear!

All jokes aside, this year’s event has been a showstopper, not just because of the fit and hot athletes, of course, but because of their talent and drive.

From the impossibly fast sprinters like Noah Lyles to the sturdy and graceful "pommel horse guy," many Olympians have impressed us with their incredible performances and strength. The question is...which one is perfect for you? While this is all hypothetical (obviously) and purely for your entertainment, here’s your ideal Olympic boyfriend based on your personality type.

I also gave you two options to choose from to spice things up. You're welcome.

If You’re Adventurous and Love To Explore

Gabriel Medina (Surfing)

Alex Ranghieri (Beach volleyball)

If you’re passionate about nature and adventure, a surfer like Gabriel Medina may be exactly what you're looking for. They're always on the lookout for the perfect spot and the biggest wave to catch some air, making them the ideal partner for all your outdoor activities. Likewise, Italian beach volleyballer Alex Ranghieri can do the same! Both men can pick out the gorgeous picnic spot for dates or the best-hidden beaches for a sunset swim.

If You Love Video Games, Books, or Other Hobbies

Stephen Nedoroscik (Gymnastics)

Lukas Dauser (Gymnastics)

If you’re an introvert who enjoys video games or other "soft girl" hobbies, meet the "pommel horse guy." Gymnasts like the viral sensation Stephen Nedoroscik or Germany's Lukas Dauser are known for their focus and passion. Nedoroscik, with his love for Rubik's Cubes and Rocket League, and Dauser, with his dedication to perfecting his routines, both show their commitment to their craft that mirrors your own. After a demanding training session at the gym, they'll appreciate the quiet moments at home, where you can unwind together.

If You Love To Cook or Relax

Thomas Ceccon (Swimming)

Wang Shun (Swimming)

Your average Olympic swimmer burns tons of calories! Michael Phelps is known to consume a 10,000-calorie diet. We can only imagine how much gold medalist and Italian swimmer Thomas Ceccon or Chinese swimmer Wang Shun burns during their training and competitions. These men have got to eat – so if you love cooking or baking, you'll want a heartthrob who can appreciate and finish a hearty meal. Plus, after swimming so hard, they'll want to relax. You can unwind together as you enjoy your homemade drinks and treats after his training sesh.

If You’re Entrepreneurial or Outgoing 

Noah Lyles (Running)

Kenny Bednarek (Running)

Gold medalist Noah Lyles or Kenny Bednarek (who won silver at the 2020 Olympics) would be your ideal man if you’re entrepreneurial, outgoing, or simply a baddie. With their laser-focused vision for the finish line, these handsome men have the drive and ambition needed to succeed. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, making them the perfect match for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit. Believe it or not, Lyles also has conditions that might typically hold someone back – but not him. "I have Asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD, anxiety, and Depression. But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become. Why Not You!" he wrote on Instagram.

If You're Health-Conscious and Value Discipline

John Jayne (Judo)

Yusuf Dikec (Pistol shooting)

Health-conscious? Check out U.S. judoka John Jayne, who recently made waves at the Paris Olympics by defeating former vice-world champion Christian Parlati. Judo requires athletes to ground their emotions, and their techniques require focus and precision. If you want someone on the same level as you regarding awareness, mental fortitude, and physique, then Jayne is your new BF.

But no worries if you can't picture yourself dating a martial arts bro. Sharpshooters' meticulous attention to detail echoes the concentration and precision that you care about. Thus, sharpshooter and silverfox Yusuf Dikec would be an ideal partner.

If You Love Aesthetics, Pilates, or Pickle Ball 

Tommy Paul (Tennis)

Lorenzo Musetti (Tennis)

Alo tennis skirts, pink pilates dresses – if you love athleisure or workout aesthetics and enjoy activities on the court, date a tennis player! Tennis players are associated with new money (think Lacoste). Their vibes give off sporty and rich. But above all, their dedication to maintaining peak performance aligns with maintaining your style and aesthetics. The best part? Both of you will look picture-perfect for Instagram!

If You’re a Thrill Seeker and Love Adrenaline

Anthony Jeanjean (BMX)

Kieran Reilly (BMX)

If you’re a rollercoaster lover or enjoy activities that get your heart racing, France’s Anthony Jeanjean or Great Britain’s Kieran Reilly are your boos. You want someone to match your freak, so to speak, and BMX riders are known for their crazy stunts, gravity-defying tricks, and fearlessness. It's obvious that these hunks live for the thrill, making them ideal partners for someone who loves to push the limits and experience life at full throttle.

If You’re an Animal Lover 

Christian Kukuk (Equestrian)

Harry Charles (Equestrian)

Whether you're a dog mom or a cat mom, finding a fellow animal lover is a must. Enter Olympic gold medalist Christian Kukuk and Britain Olympian Harry Charles. These equestrian stars are not just masters of their sport; they share an affinity for horses and have a nurturing side to them that makes them hubby material.
