Olympic gold medalist and swimming hotness Cullen Jones strikes an abtastic pose before he adds another medal to his growing collection. Jones took the silver medal in the 50 meter freestyle today at the London 2012 Games.
France's Forent Manaudau won the race in 21.34 seconds, followed by Jones in 21.54—the same time Jones had posted in the semifinals. Brazil's Cesar Cielo claimed the bronze by finishing in 21.59," reports the Star-Ledger.
Jones swam into history at the 2008 Beijing Games by earning a gold medal in the 4x100M free relay. The New York City native took silver earlier this week in the same event with teammates Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Nathan Adrian. Jones has twice been ranked the world's fastest swimmer.

I am so happy for him. He indeed swam his butt off. I don't like the fact that the broadcasters overlooked his win. When they were talking about him at the start of the race, they made it sound like he wasn't gonna really medal because of the high level of the field. Then he pulled this off. The frenchman upset the brazilian, since the brazilian was the favorite, but Jones swam right through the door above the brazilian. That is an upset also. I wish he would get the coverage that deserves.

@Diva...I think Cullen doesnt get the recognition because there are so many other fantastic US swimmers that he ends up in their shadow. I do see Cullen in some advertising these days so he is getting noticed by companies which is good for him
