After watching the Olympics I've got a theory. I've noticed that the percentage of attractiveness (facial and otherwise) of the athletes is definitely a much higher percentage than what is seen in the general population. Studies have shown that one of the key factors that makes people attractive to others is symmetry. Meaning that the right half of the body is almost identical to the left. If that's the case, it would make sense that such symmetry would help in balance, stride, strength, endurance (both sides tire equally, lowering strain) etc.. In addition, symmetry also helps in competitions in which you are judged by what is seen.
