Excited
I was lucky enough to catch the Men’s Visa 2008 Championship that aired on NBC today, where the best men in the U.S. competed for a chance to compete in the Olympic team trials coming up. I saw Fremont-born Kevin Tan rock it on the rings, placing first in the event over all of his competitors, and winning third in the overall competition (a fall from the high bar on the first day…unfortunate!)
Another fellow Asian-American to watch, Raj Bhavsar from Houston, TX…explosive on the gymnastics floor but a bit unrefined, really fun to watch, placed 9th in the Visa championship competition.
Watch this really *hokey* video below, if you ignore the Cirque-du-Soleil ridiculousness (with those horrendous gold pants) and the really random Josh Groban soundtrack to this amazing gymnastics feat, you can really see how both Raj and Kevin Tan really are so amazingly strong on the rings. Kevin’s segment begins at 3:14 into the video.
(Side note: Does anyone else think that Kevin Tan’s tatoo on his lower back is hot?)
How does this post make you feel?

Kevin Tan is not just hot. He is GORGEOUS. I wish there were more sites, pictures, and videos of him online. He is built, sexy, talented and masculine, and sooooooo gorgeous. He deserves a medal for just looking like that.

Ditto on that, Ernie and Jen. And really, I don't think I've ever seen a guy, gay or straight, with a tattoo on his lower back like so many girls do. I wonder if it means anything....
I tried watching the video, but those gold pants just killed it for me. Made me wonder if some white tigers were going to come bounding in during the middle of the routine...

OMG, Kevin Tan has a tramp stamp!
And yes, he is hot. That said, I wonder how the gymnasts reacted when learning that they'd have to wear ridiculous gold pants and do a synchronized routine to Josh Groban. At least it wasn't "You Raise Me Up." That would make me bang my head against a pummel horse a couple of times.

He's hot period, although the tattoo is pretty cool.
