by Olympic Gold Medalists

  1. “Is that a medal in your Speedo, or are you just happy to see me?”

  2. “Let’s you and me take home the gold in the Cuervo shot put.”

  3. “What do you say we go back to your place and do our own floor routine?”

  4. “Which photo of me would look better on a box of Wheaties?”

  5. “Yet in some ways, that ‘Fastest Man Alive’ title is totally undeserved.”

  6. “Hey Chelsea, care to show me the Lincoln bedroom?”

  7. “Excuse me… is that your duffel bag?”

  8. “Sure the medal means a lot but the fame and multi-million dollar endorsement deals mean nothing without someone special to share it all with…”

  9. “You’re more attractive than an untraceable banned substance.”

  10. “Sure, but BOTH of you gymnasts together equal almost 30 years old!”

  11. “Of course, my BEST event violates several Georgia decency laws.”

  12. “You know, I’m also a close personal friend of Izzy’s.”

  13. “These victory platforms are so full of phonys.”
