China's Ning Zetao Keeps Them Drooling

Step aside, Korean soap stars.  China's gold medal swimmer, Ning Zetao, is getting just as much attention outside the pool as inside. His good looks, fantastic smile, and swimmer's build have left girls (and guys) across East Asia swooning.  One of his largest fan bases is Korea, where girls follow him about on and off the Internet.

He's also poised and articulate in front of camera.
