Kate Uhlaender, 25
Skeleton Racer
Hometown: Breckenridge, Colo.
This snow bunny’s got a need for speed! A winner of two Skeleton World Cup titles, Uhlaender was also named one of the 15 sexiest athletes to watch by the Bleacher Report. But she’s got brains to boot. She’s enrolled at the Colorado Mountain College as a science major, and her favorite book is “The Fountainhead.”

Va-va-voom! Sure, Lindsey Vonn has movie star good looks, but she’s also the first American woman to win two consecutive World Cup championships. Sorry, boys, she’s taken. She lives in Colorado with her husband, Thomas Vonn, a 2002 Olympic skier.

Snowboarding
The foursome shed their parkas for this month’s Glamour magazine. Clark has a bumper sticker on her board that reads, “Jesus I cannot hide my love.” Teter, a queen of the half-pipe, would like to wear that crown again. Jacobellis, whose last-minute midair flub cost her the gold in the last Olympics, is trying again in the snowboard cross. Bleiler, who is married to former snowboarder Chris Hotell, would like to upgrade from a silver to the gold in her half-pipe event.

Pairs Figure Skating
Hometowns: Detroit and Chicago
The hottest couple on ice has never even dated. Belbin and Agosto have been skating together since 1998 and won a silver medal at the 2006 Olympics but have maintained a strictly “professional relationship.” But Belbin, who was crowned by Men’s Health as the Olympics’ hottest athlete, has been romantically linked to another hot ice skater, Evan Lysacek.

Four-Man Bobsled team
They look like a bunch of nightclub bouncers, but these hunksters prefer to hit the ice at 90 mph. They’ve nicknamed their bobsled “Night Train” because they’re going to steamroll the competition.
