Six of the coolest Olympic athletes

The Olympics has officially started, with the opening ceremony kicking off tonight with Danny Boyle's £27m extravaganza at the Olympic Stadium in east London. Fitting, then, that we're going to show you some of the hippest, coolest athletes in attendance at the 2012 games.

Any others who you think could fit the bill?

Aly Raisman posted this on Twitter earlier. It’s pretty much THE coolest photo we’ve seen of the Olympics so far; five girls with a bunch of attitude looking like they’re going to play catch with your rucksack if you look at them funny.

He’s not only great to look at, but eats a whopping 18,000 calories a day. There is nothing cooler than a man who does not give an eff how many 8 egg omelettes he eats a day.

By putting up with their strange crashed-website-meets-bullfighter costumes, the Spanish team are pretty cool indeed. And they still manage to look great (well, their faces do).

As well as being so cute we can’t quite feel alright with ourselves (he’s only 18!), GB diver Tom Daley knows how to poke fun at people who gawp at him a bit too much – posting a video of him and some mates dancing to LMFAO’s Sexy And I Know It earlier this year. Oh, and this photo of him in Southend

Bolt by name, bolt by nature. The fastest man on land not only wins international competitions for Jamaica with a smile on his face, but adopted a cheetah in 2009. And then he posted this photo of him at the cinema.
