With the summer heating up, so are things here at GSI.com as we start our new series, Hottest Athletes (female):
LAURE MANAUDOU
Date of birth: October 6, 1986
Birth place: Villeurbanne, France
Sport: Olympic Swimmer
Bio: Manaudou currently holds the world records for the 400 m freestyle (Short Course) and 200 m freestyle (Long Course). She won the gold medal in the women's 400 m freestyle at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Controversy surrouned the gold medalist in 2007 though as former lover, an Italian swimmer named Luca Marin, leaked photos and videos of her over the Internet. She seems like quite the crazy girl and one you will want to watch in this month's Olympics.
