Blake Skjellerup
Blake Skjellerup, born in 1985, is a New Zealand speed skater. He competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver (above), but did not win a medal. However, he has won five New Zealand national titles.
Blake is gay. He came out in 2010, waiting until after the Olympics to avoid press publicity during the event that might have affected his performance, and to avoid turning off sponsors.
He has also posed for some nude photos. Above, figure skating, not speed skating.

In 2017, he attended the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, Australia, where he was photographed with Australian Caleb Choo.
But someone else has a permanent claim on his heart. In 2015, Blake (right) married his boyriend Saul Carrasco (left) in Hawaii.

Figure skating viewership would be way up if the men wore skates....and nothing else, like Blake. With the emphasis on "figure."
