NUDE PHOTO: Naked Louis Smith compares winning to sex
The athlete narrowly missed out on gold at this year's Olympics - though his gymnastic talents did pocket him silver and bronze medals.
The 23-year-old told Cosmopolitan: "If I could compare the feeling of winning to one other thing, it would be good sex... what else did you want me to say?!
"To know that you’re the best at what you do after sacrificing so much would just be amazing."
Louis' body is second to none after years of training hard - the results of which are clear to see in his rippling naked shot.
No doubt every man would envy his physique, but newly single Louis still manages to find faults.
He continued: "My body is the tool of my trade, so it’s massively important on so many levels. The only bit I don’t like is my feet - they’re too big! I’m a size 11."
Louis stripped off for the cameras to raise awareness and money for the Everyman Appeal, which is led by The Institute Of Cancer Research for men diagnosed with prostate and testicular cancers.
He added: "I wasn’t nervous for this shoot - it’s for a great cause and I’ve had to wear a leotard for most of my life, so not much can faze me now.”
