Sweden’s Bjorn Barrefors (pronounced Bih-yurn BAR-eh-FORSH), 24, is a University of Nebraska track and field star who, sadly for us, did not make the Olympic team this time. I say sadly because we would have undoubtedly had gotten to see a bunch of photos just like these.

So let’s not let a technicality (!) get in the way gawking at a hot Swede! Take a look and see what you think.*

Then start rooting for him to make it to Rio in 2016.

*Btw, as I write this, there is some controversy over whether some of the photos below are fake, primarily the hot butt shot near the end and the front shot to its left. If they’re fake, then the person who Photoshopped them should be given an award because they sure look real to me.
