Following months of unashamed, thirst‑filled articles from our end about Olympo’s highly anticipated gay content, the Netflix series has finally arrived — and, thankfully, it’s just as steamy as we’d hoped.
Created by Jan Matheu, Laia Foguet and Ibai Abad, the Spanish young adult series explores the “sporting, emotional, and life adventures of a group of elite young athletes” who must test the limits of how far they’re willing to go for glory.
The official synopsis reads: “At the CAR Pirineos, the best athletes in the country train, such as Amaia, the captain of the national artistic swimming team, a self-demanding girl who does not allow herself to make mistakes.
“But when Núria, her best friend and teammate, surpasses her for the first time, Amaia realizes that some athletes are improving their performance in inexplicable ways… After years of pushing their bodies to the limit and sacrificing their lives for the sport, they face the dilemma: how far are they willing to go?”
As well as Clara Galle as Amaia and María Romanillos as Núria, the cast is rounded out by Agustín Della Corte as Roque Pérez, Nuno Gallego as Cristian Delallave, Nira Osahia as Zoe Moral, Martí Cordero as Charlie Lago, Juan Perales as Sebas Senghor and Najwa Khliwa as Fátima Amazian.
Della Corte’s Roque is Amaia and Cristian’s bestie and the HRC’s star player — a powerhouse on the pitch who doesn’t hide who he is, even when his sexuality earns side‑eyes and slurs from the locker room. But that doesn’t stop him from scoring, both on the field and between the sheets.
So, in the name of very serious investigative journalism, we’ve ranked all of Roque’s sex scenes — from hot to, well, hottest. (None of them are flops, basically.)
4. Roque and Diego feat. Gym Chalk (episode 1)
Olympo’s first act of ze gay sex sets the tone for what’s to come in the, err, explicit department (re: a hell of a lot of nudity and action). After Roque — the HRC’s golden boy on the rugby pitch — shares a charged glance with his closeted teammate Diego (Gleb Abrosimovv), the two take their hormones (and desires) to a conveniently unlocked supply closet. In a passionate — and extremely sweaty — tangle of limbs and athletic angst, Roque bottoms for Diego, only for a rogue tub of gym chalk to crash down and erupt all over their naked bodies, prematurely ending their X-rated romp.
3. Roque and Sebas feat. Lies! (episode 7)
Roque and Sebas’ third rendezvous is steeped in lies and deceit. The HRC rugby documentary doesn’t just highlight Roque as an out and proud player — it also captures a sneaky shot of the two kissing on the pitch, a bold (and reckless) move given that the cameras were rolling and Sebas isn’t out yet. Roque chooses to bury the evidence, flat‑out lies to his lover, and the two end up tangled together anyway, with betrayal hanging thick in the air. Still insanely hot, however. (Those butt shots, though?!)
2. Roque and Sebas feat. Shower (episode 3)
After Roque helps clinch Spain’s spot in the World Cup, his sexually charged tension with another closeted teammate, Sebas, finally erupts. As the team celebrates in the locker room, Sebas confronts Roque in the shower to scold him for using his post-match spotlight to call out homophobia in rugby. But desire wins out (can you blame him, after that performance?), and the two have sex for the first time. Every inch of their, ahem, athleticism is on full display as Sebas takes Roque from behind — kicking off Olympo’s steamiest and most unexpectedly swoon-worthy romance.
1. Roque and Sebas feat. Roque’s topping debut (episode 5)
We love a vers king, and in episode five Roque proves he can dominate from, well, both ends. A nasty hand injury means no World Cup glory, but Sebas arrives with a very different kind of therapy. The result? Olympo’s raunchiest scene as they respectively make their top and bottom debut. The look on Sebas’ face as Roque finds his rhythm is the kind that sparks countless gay awakenings.
Olympo is now streaming on Netflix.
