Sporting Heroes to Lust After

Hi all

This afternoon, weather permitting and all in the name of team-building, Romance HQ is holding its very first old-fashioned Sports Day. (Yours truly will be attempting to distinguish herself in the beanbag-on-head race - could be worse, at least I avoided the sack race! I’ll keep you posted on the result…) But as I psych myself up to look ridiculous in front of all my colleagues, I’m consoling myself with thoughts of rather more impressive sporting legends.

All sports stars need drive and determination – combined with talent, it can make for a devastatingly attractive combination. There’s also something about the physical perfection successful sports stars need that makes them even more drool-worthy. In fact, they’re perfect hero material – just think of all that adrenaline and focus being targeted at you! (Let’s ignore any playing away from home opportunities –only happy endings allowed here.)

So, all in the name of pre-game mental preparation, this week’s blog is less of a discussion, and more of a celebration– of the sporting heroes we know and love! I currently have a bit of a thing going for Formula 1 – I’d be seriously torn between Jensen Button and the late (but amazing) Ayerton Senna. See below for some seriously self-indulgent images…

Yum! I’ve also never recovered from my first fictional crush, show-jumping legend Rupert Campbell-Black – I love the idea of a man who looks good in skin tight jodhpurs! (Would make one of us…)But perhaps you’re more into tennis players? Or are burly rugby-playing superstars your idea of the perfect romantic hero?

Whichever way your fancy lies,this week let’s hear it for the boys. Let us know your favorite sporting champ- all pictures VERY welcome!
