It’s been a week since the Paris Olympics kicked off, and there’s a lot of buzz, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community. While the games have been a celebration of diversity and inclusion, two athletes have caught our attention – and it’s not just for their impressive skills in the water. French diver Jules Bouyer and Dutch swimmer Arno Kamminga are turning heads, both in and out of the pool.

Jules Bouyer, a 22-year-old French diver, is making his Olympic debut on home soil. He’s competing in the men’s synchronised final with teammate Alexis Jandard on 2 August, followed by the individual three-metre springboard event next week.
Bouyer’s path to the Olympics wasn’t easy. He earned his spot after finishing fifth at the 2024 World Diving Championships in Doha, Qatar. His hard work has paid off, as he’s now a Junior European and World champion.

Kamminga’s impressive physique and revealing swimsuit have also drawn attention. Photos of the swimmer in his see-through suit have circulated widely online, sparking conversations about athletic wear and body image. His sculpted abs and powerful legs are on full display, leaving little to the imagination.
MORE THAN JUST PRETTY FACES
While these sexy studs have garnered attention, both Bouyer and Kamminga are serious athletes with impressive records.
Bouyer trains at the Lyon Plongeon Club, where he’s been honing his skills since he was six years old. He’s already made his mark on the international stage, winning silver at the European Diving Championships in Rzeszow last year.
Kamminga, meanwhile, holds personal bests that put him among the top swimmers in the world. He’s competed in multiple World Aquatics Championships and is a force to be reckoned with in breaststroke events.
THE ROAD TO GOLD
As the Paris Olympics unfold, all eyes will be on these two athletes. Will Bouyer’s home advantage give him an edge in the diving events? Can Kamminga improve on his silver medals from Tokyo and clinch gold in Paris?
One thing’s for sure – whether they’re on the diving board or in the pool, Bouyer and Kamminga will be giving it their all. And they’ll be doing it while looking absolutely stunning.
