Pommel horse hotness Louis Smith—the Olympic bronze medalist in that event—and other top members of Britain's gymnastics team missed the recent Commonwealth Games in Delhi to concentrate on the World Championships which begin last week Rotterdam. Good thing that he did. The 21-year-old gymnast added the silver medal to his Olympic bronze.
Smith tumbled from the apparatus at the Worlds in London last year. But this year he bounced back in fine form and narrowly missed the gold, scoring 15.733 after Hungary's Krisztian Berki's 15.833. "When I hit my routine and finished I was praying to be in first place," said Smith. "I've never been able to pip Berki. But walking away with any medal at the World Championships, two years out from the Olympics, is a positive."
Team GB swept the Worlds. In addition to Smith's silver on the pommel horse, Beth Tweddle won gold and Daniel Purvis won bronze on the floor. More images of Louis Smith—looking, umm, very fit in all the right places—demonstrating his amazing flexibility are AFTER THE JUMP ...
Wow, what a hottie! Congrats to him and his team!

Any idea what the tat on his back might be? You can see it in the second-to-last pic
