While ALL three posts are fantastic, I'm especially enamored by the first post which contains the more casual and boyish looks of Epke.  He comes across as such a cute everyday guy .. "oh boy" is right!

So, let’s see, Zonderland has adorable, boyish good looks with a great smile and even greater body (at least for those of us who like a gymnast’s or other athletically muscular body type); has won 5 gold medals in international gymnastics competitions, including the 2012 Olympics, plus numerous other athletic awards (see his Wikipedia entry); and comes across in interviews as an all-around nice guy.  But at age 29, he’s getting a bit old for his sport and is in medical school for a follow-on career as a doctor, so he’s probably not the stereotypical “dumb jock.”  (I was wondering what the photo of him with a stethoscope around his neck, dressed in a doctor’s smock and gym shorts, was all about.)  “Epic Zonderland,” indeed.  I’m beginning to develop an intense disliking for this guy!

Great photos, Doug.  Thanks!

And when he becomes a doctor I am going to become one of his patients. Holland isn't a big country so it shouldnt be too difficult.

I'd forgotten about this post I made. 

Many a true word is spoken in jest!
