They'll win the gold medal to your heart.
By Stefanie Leonel — Written on Aug 11, 2016
The 2016 Summer Olympics are well underway, taking place in one of the sexiest cities in the world: Rio De Janeiro. The world’s best athletes are together to compete for two weeks under the Christ the Redeemer, complete with lots of samba, caipirinhas, and fun.
Whether you’re watching Michael Phelps win his 23rd gold medal or cheering for The Final Five, one things for sure: these athletes already won gold in the genetics department.
While you're ogling over the swimmers' bodies, here’s which U.S.A. athlete you should date based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 - April 19) Michael Phelps

You’re a natural born leader, and nothing holds you back. You’re ambitious, quick and competitive. You need someone to keep up with your quick pace at all times — and who better to do that than Michael Phelps? With 25 gold medals to-date, it’s safe to say NOTHING holds him back. All that training while balancing fatherhood to his adorable newborn son, Boomer... *swoon*
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Kevin Durant

Tauruses are strong and dependable, making Kevin Durant the perfect match for you! Durant was recently recruited by the Golden State Warriors after 8 years with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He’s won an NBA Most Valuable Player Award and helped carry the team to gold in the 2012 London Olympics, and by the looks of it he’s doing it again this year in Rio.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Carmelo Anthony

As a fellow Gemini himself, consider Carmelo the ying to your yang. Gemini presents two distinctive personalities, and you'll be sure to see that with Carmelo on and off the court. You may not want to face this three time Olympian (2004, 2008, 2012) during a game, but you’re sure to have a great time sipping caipirinhas on Copacabana after a win!
Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Kent Farrington

If you’re a Cancer, your perfect match is Equestrian Kent Farrington. You’re intuitive and passionate — and what better way to indulge that than to be swept away on a white horse to ride off into the Ipanema sunset by hottie Kent?
Leo (July 23 - August 22): David Boudia

Leos are daredevils, headstrong and love being the center of attention. Who understands those traits better than David Boudia, diver for the U.S.A. diving team? If Boudia’s 10-meter jumps don’t keep you on your toes, we don’t know what will.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Steve Johnson

Steve Johnson is Virgo's match made in heaven. This tennis star is currently ranked number 22 in singles and 43 in doubles. Virgos have an acute attention to detail, and is the sign in the zodiac most dedicated to serving (pun completely intended).
Libra (September 23 - October 22): Sam Mikulak

"I balance" is the key phrase for this sign, naturally making Sam Mikulak your perfect match. Sam is a two-time Olympian (2012, 2016) on the United States gymnastics team. Partnerships are very important to Libras, and Mikulak scores a perfect 10 when it comes to teamwork.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Tony Azevedo

Scorpios are excellent leaders, and Tony Azevedo demonstrates that trait perfectly as the current United States water polo captain. While he may be a pro at keeping it cool on the exterior, rest assured he's determined to keep his partners happy both in and out of the water.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Connor Fields

Sagittariuses are energetic and known to be the traveler of the signs. Their broad-minded approach to life sways them to wander, and you’re guaranteed an adventure with BMXer Connor Fields. You’re in for a fun ride!

Daryl Homer is a fencer for Team U.S.A. He was a silver medalist at the 2015 World Fencing Championships and a five-time gold medalist at the Pan American Fencing Championships. Capricorns are the most serious-minded and independent of the signs, and Daryl will win the gold to your heart with his professionalism and traditional values.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Micah Christenson

Aquarius is somehow both painfully shy and eccentric and energetic, which is exactly what you get with Micah Christenson. The American volleyball player, member of the United States men's national volleyball team and Italian club Cucine Lube Civitanova can change pace at the drop of a... well, volleyball, and will be able to keep up with you no matter what mood you're in.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Charles Buckingham

Pisceans are easygoing and generally accepting of others around them, ensuring Charles Buckingham would make a GREAT boyfriend. Charles is a sailor for the United States who'd be happy to take you for a romantic sunset cruise.
