Hunk du Jour - Alexandre Despatie

My sister and I were watching the final of the 10m Men's Synchro Diving, commenting on pikes and splashes and degrees of difficulty with all the expertise that comes from a solid twenty minutes of viewing. We were also urging the Aussies to pummel the Brits.

Sadly we did not. The Australian team of Mathew Helm and Robert Newbery took bronze behind The Brits. The Chinese bagged the gold, miles in front.

But the winner on the day was sport, and the sport I am speaking of is of course, the Sport of Perving. Among the pasty Brits and Ukranians this tasty morsel shone through - Canada's Alexandre Despatie.

PROS:

• Dark hair and dark eyes. That whole Mr Darcy thing going on.
• Hair that looks nicely dishevelled when emerging from the pool.
• Hails from Quebec. Speaking French is sexy, even the wacky Quebec strain.

CONS:

• He is sponsored by McDonalds. You didn't get that six pack by eating Le Big Mac, buddy!
• He was born in 1985. 1985!?! As soon as I discovered that fact I felt horribly, horribly dirty.

RATING:
2.5 kalamata olives out of 5.
Two olives were deducted for making us feel like Mrs Robinson.
