TrendingJune 15, 2022

Becky Lynch, Age 33 – Wrestling

A 3-times SmackDown Women’s Champion, wrestling beauty, Becky Lynch, is one of the most famous and highest-paid female wrestlers in the world. She was born in Limerick, in Ireland, and started wrestling in the local independent circuits, often tag-teaming with her brother.

Eventually, she made it to the U.S., wrestling’s world capital, and to the biggest stage of them all: the WWE. In 2006, a severe head injury threatened her promising career, but she came back stronger than ever a handful of years later. In the ring, Lynch’s known for her aggressive and self-centered style, but outside of it, she looks like a steamy sweetheart with gorgeous red hair.

Serena Williams, Age 38 – Tennis

Is it even necessary to praise Serena Williams? The number 1 female tennis player in the world, she’s a 4-times Olympic Gold winner, and she’s collected a whopping $92.7 million in prize money throughout her professional career.

Her look has been the subject of controversy once or twice. Some types don’t seem to appreciate beautiful, strong women. But we do not doubt that, besides being a champion of unprecedented status, Serena is an all-encompassing woman. She’s modeled extensively in the past, and she’s endorsed multiple activism causes, such as the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jennie Finch, Age 39 – Softball

Described by Time magazine as the most famous softball player ever, the beautiful Jennie Finch retired from the game in 2010 to focus on her family. Since then, she has worked as a color commentator for ESPN, giving us yet another reason to watch the sports channel.

Throughout her professional career, she played as a pitcher for the Arizona Wildcats and helped the U.S. national softball team to land a Gold medal in the 2004 Olympic Games. In 2016, she became a guest manager for the Bridgeport Bluefish, becoming the first woman ever to coach a professional baseball team.

Michelle Jenneke, Age 27 – Hurdling

As a professional hurdler, Michelle Jenneke is used to avoiding the obstacles. But she also knows how to make the most of an opportunity. And back in 2012, her characteristic warm-up dance caused a viral sensation online. That was the beginning of the Michelle Jenneke phenomenon.

The Australian 27-year-old has made it to the cover of magazines, has modeled, and has even appeared in a stretching app. Besides being a natural-born sportswoman, Jenneke has both the looks and the brain to go with it. A Sydney University mechatronics student, she has, without a doubt, earned her spot on our list of gorgeous female athletes.

Lucy Robson, Age 25 – Golf

Although she is but a junior golfer, Lucy Robson has attracted a lot of attention, not just for her playing style but also for her head-turning looks. She was born in London in 1995, yet already, she has lived in Florida for over a decade.

Robson now has almost one million followers on her Instagram account. According to The Sun UK, she recently got a golfing simulator to help her stay in good shape during the lockdown. Given how much attention she’s recently gotten, it’s safe to say that we’ll be seeing a lot more of her from here on.

Silje Norendal, Age 27 – Snowboarding

Even though blonde, blue-eyed stunners are not a rarity in Scandinavia, the Norwegian snowboarder Silje Norendal still stands-out from the most. And not just because she looks like a fairytale princess. After all, this talented 27-year-old athlete is one of the biggest stars in snowboarding.

Norendal landed 4 Gold medals in 2 different X-Games competitions, and she also hit Silver and Bronze in two different categories of the World Championships. During the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea, she was just a few points away from winning her first Olympic medal, finishing in the ever-ungrateful 4th position.

Eugenie Bouchard, Age 26 – Tennis

It’s about time Canada builds Eugenie Bouchard a statue! Besides being a beauty, this talented professional tennis player became the first Canadian woman to climb up to the top 5 of the world’s ranking. Born to be on the court, Bouchard started playing tennis at the young age of 5.

Fast-forward 11 years into the future, and she’s one of the most impressive female athletes in the game. With over $6 million collected in prize money, she’s one of the most promising tennis players in recent history, and, at the still-young age of 26, she looks like she still hasn’t reached her peak.

Ronda Rousey, Age 33 – Judo, Mixed Martial Arts, And Wrestling

Can one lady have it all? Looking at Ronda Rousey, it seems so. She’s not only gorgeous, crazily talented, and extremely versatile. Rousey’s also able to get in a bar fight against ten men and get away without a scratch! One of the most notable female fighters ever, she’s a former judoka, mixed martial arts fighter, and current pro wrestler.

Besides doing some real damage on the ring, Rousey is also a lovely lady with a cute smile and a unique charm. Nowadays, she’s taking WWE by storm with her superior fighting skills and, unbelievably, she’s also a successful actress and author. Now that’s an impressive curriculum!

Danica Patrick, Age 38 – Race Driving

The American race car driver Danica Patrick may look like a beautiful cheerleader, but she’s not the kind of girl who’s going to be watching the game from the sidelines. In her life, she decided she was the one who was going to take the wheel, and we mean it both figuratively and literally.

In 2008, Danica became the first and only woman to win an IndyCar Series race, making history for the ladies. Considered to be the most successful female driver in the history of American racing, may we add we also think Danica is the most beautiful?

Chloe Kim, Age 20 – Snowboarding

So, do you want to feel old? In 2000, a year you probably still remember way too well, Chloe Kim was born. Today, she’s already won an Olympic Gold medal in snowboarding! Yes, this rising superstar has become the youngest female snowboarder ever to strike gold, with her 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic win.

Most impressively, she did so without losing her sense of proportion. Being a beautiful teenager who’s sitting on the top of the world can get on your head, but Kim has always remained focused on her task. With a genuine passion for snowboarding, she’ll most likely continue to win and make history in the game.

Camila Giorgi, Age 28 – Tennis

Maybe it’s the coffee, the delicious pizza, or the beautiful cathedrals. Either way, Italians know how to strike an elegant pose, and the gorgeous Camila Giorgi is no exception. But more than a charming Italian woman, Giorgi is a lady with an extreme talent for tennis.

Training hard ever since she was five years old, Giorgi has achieved some impressive results on the court, defeating superstars of the like of Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki. She’s made a ton of money with her outstanding athletic skills: her prize money total is estimated to sit near the $3.7 million.

McKayla Maroney, Age 24 – Artistic Gymnastics

A former artistic gymnast with a Gold medal to show for it, McKayla Maroney became an online sensation due to her “I’m not impressed” expression, popularized right after her Olympic victory in 2012. Her expression became the inspiration behind countless memes, and meme-makers could not avoid but noticing how beautiful Maroney was in the process.

A bunch of new experiences has marked Maroney’s post-Olympic life. She made it to a video of 30 Seconds to Mars, signed a sponsorship agreement with Adidas, and judged a Miss America pageant. Most recently, she has decided to start a career in music, releasing her first single in 2017.

Antonija Sandrić, Age 32 – Basketball

When you’re over 5 feet tall, and you look like Antonija Sandrić, a modeling career seems like a way too obvious choice. That’s maybe why the Croatian beauty decided to try a different line of work, becoming a professional basketball player.

Representing Croatia’s national team, she played for multiple European clubs, including Poland’s CCC Polkowice and France’s Toulouse Métropole Basket. But wherever she goes, two things remain the same: she will score points on the pitch, and she will melt some hearts along the way. In 2012, NBA superstar, Nate Robinson, called her “the most beautiful woman basketball player ever to lace up some sneakers.”

Ali Krieger, Age 36 – Soccer

At the age of 36, professional soccer player Ali Krieger has more than reasons to look back with pride on her career. With over 100 international caps, she’s a 2-times World Cup winner, and she also landed a UEFA Women’s Cup victory back when she was playing for the German side FFC Frankfurt.

But besides being a super-talented athlete and a gorgeous woman, Krieger has shown more than once that she has a kind and nurturing heart. She has collaborated with multiple philanthropic organizations, such as the anti-homophobic Athlete Ally and the MiracleFeet organization, which helps children in developing countries.

Ana Ivanovic, Age 32 – Tennis

Serbia can be proud of its tennis superstars. If Novak Djokovic is the King of tennis, then Ana Ivanovic is the Queen. In 2008, the beautiful girl from Belgrade landed a no. 1 world ranking, and in 2011 she was featured in Time’s magazine list of the “top 100 greatest players ever”, which included both male and female tennis players.

Ivanovic retired in 2016, after feeling like her form was no longer up to her high standards. Nonetheless, she has marked a generation in tennis, influencing multiple other athletes and collecting estimated prize money of over $15 million.

Becky Lynch, Age 33 – Wrestling

Lindsey Vonn, Age 35 – Alpine Ski Racing

While significant in Scandinavia, alpine ski racing is probably not your favorite sport. But if there was ever a reason to watch it, it probably had something to do with Lindsey Vonn. Whether you like to ski or not, we’re pretty sure you’re loving the beautiful lady in the picture.

But besides being a blonde bombshell, Lindsey Vonn is also a crazily talented former skier. A 4-times World champion with an Olympic Gold medal, Vonn has the second-highest super ranking of all skiers, men included. Vonn started when she was just 16 and retired in 2019. Meanwhile, she won about every accolade that was up for grabs.

Caroline Wozniacki, Age 30 – Tennis

In the history of tennis, only four ladies have made more money than the Danish superstar Caroline Wozniacki. With a whopping $35.2 million in collected prize money, she is remembered as the 5th best female tennis player of all-time, and she did all of that before her 30th anniversary!

Retired since January of 2020, Wozniacki’s presence will be deeply missed. But fortunately, fans of the Danish phenomenon can still admire her stunning good looks. Away from the court, Wozniacki can still rock a bikini and pose for a beautiful photoshoot like a real champ.

Anna Kournikova, Age 39 – Tennis

The fact that ‘Anna Kournikova’ was once one of the most-searched names on Google says it all. Even though many of Kournikova’s fans don’t even watch tennis, this gorgeous Russian beauty made a name for herself after getting some impressive results in the court, such as an Australian Open win.

Kournikova made it as far as number 8 of the world ranking, but she’s accustomed to being number 1 when it comes to beauty. Her breathtaking green eyes have caught the attention of Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias, who married Kournikova back in 2001.

Alana Blanchard, Age 30 – Surfing

The American surfer Alana Blanchard was practically born on the beach. Originally from Kauai, in Hawaii, she knows everything there is to know about surfboards, waves, and the ocean. Besides surfing for a living, this American beauty is also a model and a wetsuit designer.

In 2011, Blanchard’s emotions were put to the test after fellow surfer Bethany Hamilton lost her arm to a shark attack. Alana and Bethany are good friends since childhood, but the traumatic event has luckily not made the two talented surfers give up on the ocean. Alana and Bethany’s struggle is documented in the 2011 documentary Soul Surfer.

Blair O’Neal, Age 39 – Golf

Yet another pro golfer breaking the stereotypes usually associated with the game, Blair O’Neal is an American triple threat: she’s an athlete, a model, and a T.V. personality. While her stunning looks are probably the first thing you notice about her, it’s her talent with the club that got her to where she is today.

With an estimated prize pool of around $1 million, O’Neal got her “big break” after appearing in the… Big Break: Prince Edward Island T.V. show. She’s appeared recurrently in golf-related talk-shows and on the Golf Channel, and we find her smile as convincing as her moves on the golf course.
