Meet The Most Beautiful and Influential Female Athletes in the World Of Sports and What They Excel In
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.
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.
Maria Sharapova, Age 33 – Tennis
If gorgeous female athletes had just one name, we would dare to say it’s Maria Sharapova. This highly-talented Russian tennis player has been in the spotlight for so long it’s hard to believe she’s only 33 years old. Now retired, she’s no longer enjoying the ups-and-downs of competitive tennis. But she remains as beautiful as she ever was.
Living in the United States since 1994, Sharapova went from being a young girl from the remote city of Nyagan to become a 5-times World No. 1 tennis player. Looking like a supermodel goddess certainly helped, but we still think she looks her best while showing her skills on the court.
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?
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.”
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.
Alex Morgan, Age 31 – Soccer
Ask any European: American soccer will be made fun of. First, because it’s called soccer instead of football. Second, because the United States is still not as good in the game as most European countries. But there’s an exception. When it comes to female soccer, the U.S. is sitting on the very top, and Alex Morgan is their biggest star!
This center-forward from California has won every collective and individual award in the game, and she’s the current captain of the U.S. soccer team. But Alex is not only scoring goals on the pitch; she’s also doing it every single day in the “real-life” with her stunning blue eyes and girl-next-door appeal.
Alica Schmidt, Age 22 – Runner
She might only be 22 years old, but already, Alica Schmidt has managed to take over the world… quite literally. She is a Track and Field runner who, according to The Sun, might very well be the world’s prettiest athlete. Alica is German, and she has ongoing sponsorships from companies like Puma.
On top of having almost 1.5 million followers on Instagram, Schmidt also recently started a YouTube channel. Although so far, she’s only posted two videos, she already has over 33.1K subscribers! We’re looking forward to seeing her run in the upcoming Summer Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo in 2021.
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.
Holly Sonders, Age 33 – Golf
She’s played golf, worked as a reporter and a sportscaster, and has currently settled for being an Instagram influencer. Holly Sonders clearly belongs under the spotlight, and would have found success no matter what kind of career she had chosen to pursue.
She’s covered the U.S. Open Championship event as a reporter for Fox and has even hosted some School of Golf show episodes in 2012. She was born in 1987, meaning that she is 33 years old. In 2020 she took part in an episode of the Playing A Round with Paige Renee podcast.
Ellen Hoog, Age 34 – Field Hockey
From the small Dutch town of Bloemendaal to the world, field hockey player Ellen Hoog has already collected 2 Olympic Gold medals and played for the Netherlands national team over 230 times. And in the not-always graceful game of field hockey, she is the bonafide prom queen.
Arguably the best female athlete in the game, Hoog, has made headlines more than once due to her good looks. But even though she knows how to rock a bikini, she is at her best when she’s scoring goals with the stick. Hoog was vital in helping the Netherlands to land 2 World Cups and 3 European championships.
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!
Aly Raisman, Age 26 – Gymnastics
Two. That’s how old Aly Raisman was when she started her gymnastic training. Add one, and you have three, the number of Olympic Gold medals she has won at the still-young age of 26. This American athlete from Needham, Massachusetts, was born to be a gymnast. But that’s not all.
Away from the world of competitive sports, Raisman has excelled at a career she also seems to fit naturally: modeling. It’s no wonder she’s caused an impression on the catwalk. Besides having a fit body, she’s also a brunette beauty, with piercing brown eyes and a beautiful smile.
Paige VanZant, Age 26 – Mixed Martial Arts
They say that, when you fight for a living, your face is going to get all swollen, and your looks will be ruined. But not when you’re so good you rarely take a hit. That’s how mixed martial arts fighter Paige VanZant managed to stay beautiful after over eight years of professional fighting.
Her MMA record is impressive, with eight wins out of 13 games, 2 of them via knock-out. We know VanZant looks like the sort of adorable girl you just want to hug, but make no mistake: if you get on her nerves, you will experience pain like you never did before!
