Spotting The Elusive Olympic Bear: Christian Cantwell Goes For The, Uh, Silver

Attention, bear fanciers of the world: we are with you. We understand your whimpers of despair every time reruns of "Tool Time" with furball drillbit Richard Karn are interrupted by breaking news about the hot but hairless and chunk-free Michael Phelps. Sadly, given the general need for speed that the Olympics demand, finding fuzzy hotness hasn't been easy to do in Beijing. But then we stumbled across the hunka-hunka shotput-tossing love that is American track and field champion Christian Cantwell, and ... well if that's what stumbling's about, it deserves to be an Olympic sport all its own. Check our adoring gallery of the silver medal-winning Cantwell after the jump.
