Wowza! Ryan Lochte is just too hot! Maybe that's why he beat out Michael Phelps in our Hottie of the Week contest.

I LOVE the photo above courtesy of NBC. Don't you love the sexy boxers peeping out over the jeans. Sex sells people, sex sells!

Lochte hit the pool for the first time on Saturday, and it looks like Ryan might present the biggest challenge to Phelps.

He didn't start off too hot though, Michael broke a record and Ryan didn't do so well. He won his heat in 4:10.33 but all that got him was the fourth qualifying lane.

Michael Phelps is trying to win at least 7 gold metals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Meanwhile, Ryan Lochte is doing a damn good job of looking sexy!
