Olympic Speed-Skater Tops List
POSTED: 2:49 p.m. EDT June 18, 2002
NEW YORK -- They've done well in their respective sports, but some of today's top professional athletes are also getting noticed for the way they look when they play.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rick Fox and New York Yankees shortstop
Derek Jeter are among those who have been chosen by Sports
Illustrated Women as "The Sexiest Men In Sports."
But Olympic speed-skating gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno topped the list with a little more than one-third of the votes in the magazine's online poll.
Joining Ohno, Fox, and Jeter on this year's list are New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza and figure skater Alexei Yagudin, among others.
The 35-page spread features 75 athletes baring their chests at the beach, among other locations.
The complete list will be in the magazine's third annual swimsuit issue, which hits newsstands June 25.
