Ryan Bailey shares a name with his Team USA Track & Field counterpart. While the latter covers land, this 6'6" athlete covers water--water polo, to be exact. And he's in it to win it for his hometown, Long Beach (though he now lives in Thousand Oaks). The impressive two-time Olympian is said to be able to shoot a ball over 50 miles per hour. Ladies, he can also bench press over 400 lbs!
