Rio is past, but prince arthur is present continuous. t2 plays tinder for our latest crush
It’s just been less than three weeks since the Rio Olympics ended, but Team t2 is already missing the excitement, passion and nerve-racking moments! But most of all, we’ve been missing Arthur Mariano, who should totally come to Bollywood after ending his gymnastics career. While the 22-year-old, who won a bronze for Brazil in Rio, is rumoured to be dating gymnastics queen Simone Biles, she on the other hand has been posting selfies with teen hottie Zac Efron and calling herself ‘Mrs Efron’! So, just in case she’s planning to do a Produnova on him, t2 plays matchmaker, drawing up a list of a few stunning women from the world of sports for our Prince Arthur.
MARTA MENEGATTI, BEACH VOLLEYBALL
She became our third fave from Italy after Pizza and Lamborghini in Rio. She might have exited in the round of 16, but became a fan-favourite with her pearl earrings, sparkly eyes and long hair.
ALEX MORGAN, FOOTBALL
The American (what’s with so many of them on this list?!) striker has a rating of 84 out of 100 in FIFA 16 and has won an Olympic gold in 2012 and the FIFA World Cup in 2015. Clearly, our hearts aren’t the only thing this 27-year-old has won.
EUGENIE BOUCHARD, TENNIS
This hottie’s career might have hit a double fault with the Canadian getting into a number of controversies starting from refusing to shake her opponent’s hand before a game, to ruffling quite a few feathers with her lingerie dress at Wimbledon 2016... but who doesn’t love a badass! Unlike the Wimbledon authorities, we simply can’t get enough her.
MIKAELA MAYER, BOXER
America’s Mary Kom has won back-to-back National Boxing Championships in the 60kg category. Unfortunately she lost to Russia’s Anastasia Belyakova in the quarters at Rio, but her gentle, brown and warm eyes have certainly knocked us out.
HILARY KNIGHT, ICE HOCKEY
Hilary plays as a forward for the USA National Team and Boston Pride and at 27, she’s already the face of women’s hockey. But how does the ice around her not melt when she’s at play?
ALANA BLANCHARD, SURFER
The newest American to make the list is a professional surfer. So, basically we have a lot in common with Alana. She surfs for us in the water, we surf for her on the Internet.
ELLYSE PERRY, CRICKETER
The 25-year-old plays as an all-rounder for Australia, helping the side to four World Cups (one 50-over and three T20). And considering how she’s bowled us over without bowling a single delivery, we don’t wanna be facing her... on the pitch, that is! Clearly, she’s not just a ‘Perry’ Pretty woman.
ALLISON STOKKE, POLE VAULTER
The 26-year-old American is not only the hottest pole vaulter ever but also the reason why a t2 boy once wanted to sit for GRE! She may not have an Olympic medal in her kitty, but that didn’t stop her from becoming an Internet sensation.
SPECIAL MENTION
PV SINDHU, BADMINTON
How could the list be complete without India’s ‘silver’ girl?
