Our reigning Hottie of the Week, Ryan Lochte, won his first gold Olympic metal in the 200m Backstroke.

Lochte also set a world record at 1:53.94.

Ryan upset fellow American Aaron Peirsol who took the silver. Peirsol was trying to become the first male swimmer in 36 years to sweep the Olympic backstroke events at consecutive games.

They keep saying that Lochte is so laid back, and that just makes him even hotter. I know there are haters, even at this site... but I think Ryan is just gorgeous!
