Canadian Bobsled Team Strips Down To Their Underwear (Rawr!)

Canadian Bobsled Team Takes It (Nearly) All Off
The Huffington Post Canada

We got it all wrong: Here we were lusting after swimmers and skaters when we should have been looking over at bobsledders!

The Canadian bobsled team, who are heading into the 2014 Olympics in Sochi in February, made us all hot and bothered after one of its members, James McNaughton, posted a sexy photo of his teammates on Twitter.

The tweet read: "#teamkripps could use some @TimHortons large blacks to warm up! #canadianolympicteam #RoadToSochi #WeAreWinter"

The cute pic shows James and the rest of his crew including Justin Kripps, Tim Randall and Bryan Barnett posing outside in the freezing cold wearing nothing but their underwear!

So do the guys practice wearing only tightie whities or do they just enjoy hanging out in their skivvies?

According to newnownext.com, the guys had to strip down for a recent official Olympic weigh in. (So yeah, it wasn't just for kicks.)

And just because we live in in the time of the hashtag, #Beardmode has been picking up steam on Twitter, thanks to the guys' full lumberjack beards.

We can't wait to see them go for the gold, even though they'll be covered up.
