America hurdles super-hotness David Oliver avenged his last month's loss in Shanghai to win the 110m hurdles at the Diamond League in Eugene, Oregon.
Oliver won the first and second place 110m hurdles "in a blazing 12.94sec" over Chinese phenom Liu Xiang, who snapped his 20-win streak at the Shanghai Diamond League. "Oliver's time was the fastest in the world in this World Championships season, improving on the 13.07 previously posted by both Liu and Cuban Dayron Robles," reports AFP.
Oliver won the bronze medal in that event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Liu and the fit and bulging Robles won gold medals in the 2004 and 2008 games. Oliver is the only one of the the three without Olympic gold and "his last chance in all likelihood comes next summer in London," reported USA Today in a profile this week. "Oliver says, 'Next year will probably be my last Olympics. I'll definitely be trying to upgrade from bronze to gold.'"
Getty also lensed this gorgeous black and white editorial of Oliver recently in Orlando. More of those, more deltoid-rific images from the meet and watch video of Oliver break the record today AFTER THE JUMP ...
Some action shots ...
Here is the meet and the post. The second video is in French but has better angles.
DAYUMN That's a big one

Got to correct you on the headline.
He did not set a world record he set a world leading time so far in the 2011 track and field outdoor season.
And he is the hottest guy in T&F!

I have loved him (and those shoulders and legs of life!) FOREVER. He is gracious, humble and intelligent in every interview I have seen.
His personal blog (David Oliver Hurdles) is chock-full of eye-candy. He finally stopped posting to it, but it's still up.

I watched this on Saturday, yes he is hotness; there were a few other tasty morsels as well.
It was then followed by a round of the USA Sevens collegiate rugby championship. There was a BEAUTIFUL brother in the Army-Navy game.....

I don't know there something about the size of those delts that screams steroid enhancement to me. Sorry guys.
Posted by: Jersey | 05 June 2011 at 21:34
Of course, Jersey. Because the ONLY way a 6'2 man can get serious delts is with steroids. LOLz
And IAAF certified athletes who are randomly tested throughout the season, they are even more suspect. LOLz
If you can't tell the difference between juiced and roided pro bodybuilders and a well muscled track star, you really don't get out much, dear. GTFO

That's a whole lot of MAN. Remind me a bit of Dwight Howard shoulders and arms.
