DIEUX DU STADE 2016

Not just athletes, also sex symbols. Rugby players are certainly considered among the most attractive sportsmen. The credit also goes to the famous French calendar Dieux du Stade (Gods of the Stadium) which every year celebrates the champions of the oval ball and beyond. For this year’s cover, the 16th edition, Sergio Parisse was chosen, captain of the Italian national team and of the Stade Français Paris which won the French championship in June and which had not appeared on the calendar for some years.

Parisse is not the only rugby player: flipping through the months we also find Sofiane Guitoune, Mirco and Mauro Bergamasco, Henry Vanderglas, Hugh Pyle and teammates Pascal Papé and Antoine Burban. Among the other athletes selected for this edition are Florent Pietrus (basketball), Sylvain Potard (MMA, mixed martial arts), Jérémy Parisi (Judo),
