Attractive Olympian: High Jumper Amy Acuff

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.

Last month, Amy Acuff cleared 6'3½" at the USA Track and Field Indoor Championships in Boston to claim another gold medal as she works toward what will be her fourth Olympics this summer in Beijing. The former UCLA standout has been among the best high jumpers in the nation for the last 15 years, and though she has never medaled in a World Championship or Olympic games, her longevity (and her looks) have raised the awareness of her sport.

But who cares about trivial things like a decade and a half of accomplishments in competitive sports? This is a BLOG, and therefore we must judge her superficially, as we judged swimmer Michael Phelps yesterday. Sure, gracing the pages of men's magazines both low-brow and high-brow -- to say nothing of that cover shot to above right -- might suggest she's attractive. But what we really need to do is have an Internet poll determine her beauty.

Below, enjoy more pictures, ground-breaking analysis, and a democratic judgment on Amy Acuff's beauty.
