Dutch gymnastics hotness Jeffrey Wammes (second from left) is one of seven shirtless jocks to cover L’HOMO, a special edition of Linda Magazine. This is the third time the gay glossy has been published and this edition focuses on gays in sport.
The 24-year-old Wammes is one of two athletes featured that is actually gay, reports Radio Netherlands.
For gymnast Jeffrey Wammes, the special edition was a perfect opportunity to come out. "There was already a lot of speculation about whether or not I fell for boys or girls. To me it has nothing to do with sport or how I perform. But when I was asked to do this, I made it clear straight away how things were and that’s that."
Race car driver Mike Verschuur is the second openly gay sportsmen profiled.
Wammes coming out—and his shirtless cover—has gone viral across Dutch media. Wammes was a favorite to win the vault two weeks ago at the European Championships Gymnastics in Berlin. Unfortunately, he placed fourth.
More skin in the magazine—you can see it HERE, possibly blocked in some non-EU IP addresses—and in backstage videos. Wammes is also seen—and speaks in a cute Dutch accent at 2:09—in a video shot at party for L'HOMO.
Several photos of the Wammes hotness competing at the World Championships last October are AFTER THE JUMP ...
Very nice

Point of order: Wammes did not compete in the "pole vault" at the European Championships. As a gymnast, he competed and placed fourth in the vault.

yes girls, but louis smith is not gay. so keep on drooling... just say something nice about a black/mixed/any! athlete coming out instead of debating who's more hot.

Byron makes a good point. The openly gay man is ALWAYS hotter! Thank you for your courage, your honesty and your fabulous versatility Mr. Wammes!

I don’t care what you find personally attractive. Anyone who thinks that this Jeffrey Wammes fellow is merely “ain’t bad” must be living in another solar system.
I live in a place with an endless number of really beautiful men, and Jeffrey would easily count among them.
So jaded y’all.
