Achtung baby! Another reason to call Lufthansa and check on those super saver fares for Oktoberfest. Germany's Aleixo-Platini Menga heats up the track and strips down after the second round of the 200 meter heats. Unfortunately his time of 20.68 was not fast enough to advance to the next round.
The 22-year-old sprinter speaks three languages and was born in Angola, whom you may recall fielded quite a bit of hardwood hotness at the Beijing Olympics. More of the best in German-Angolan athletics AFTER THE JUMP,
black is beautiful!
all these sexy black men from all around the world, i love it, all of them, all colors and hues.

T&F should just make shirts optional for the guys. I think it would increase viewership :)

Good Jesus on a Sunday MORNIN', he looks better without the shirt. Rod you need to start marketing some Rod 2.0 church fans for all of this hotness.

Thank you ROD, for showcasing our beautiful, black brothers from different countries! Kudos! Lovely! Wish I would've continued my track career when I was a HS student *sigh* LOL

This is great. Isn't it interesting how for the most part, traditional American media has portrayed Europe as white (England and France being exceptions)? It is nice to see that there are Black Germans, Italian, etc. all over the continent.

Maybe if he'd stripped that shirt off BEFORE the race the judges would have given him a 'pass' -- LOL
I love Track & Field. Always a pleasure when it gets the coverage in the US it so richly deserves.
