Anna Kournikova -Tennis

For a while, Anna Kournikova's name was one of the most searched tennis players on Google. However, some of her fans said they sometimes didn't watch her for the sport but just to admire her adorable beauty. This Russian beauty has made a great reputation with impressive results, including her Australian Open wins.

Though Kournikova retired from playing professionally in 2003, she made it to number eight in the world ranking. The mother of three found love in the arms of the Latin pop star, Enrique Iglesias. As of 2022, Kournikova continues to serve as the global ambassador for the "Five and Alive" charity organization.

Paige Spiranac - Golf

One thing that stands out for Paige Spiranac is her being a professional golfer at a young age. As a junior golfer, she won five tournaments. She made her golf debut in 2015 and showed exceptional skills.

After the 2016 Cactus Tour, Spiranac started focusing on social media, especially as a YouTube golf instructor. It seems that's where her heart is because she has attracted an enormous following. Spiranac also has an Instagram account with over three million followers. In 2021, she appeared on the TV series "The Charlie Rymer Golf Show."

Lucy Robson - Golf

Lucy Robson is one of the fastest-rising junior golfers in the world. She's not only turning heads for her playing skills and styles but also her adorable looks. Though she hails from Britain, she lives in Florida, where she has been building her prominence as an outstanding female golfer and an Instagram influencer.

Like many other young girls of her caliber, Robinson focuses on her Instagram account, with almost 1 million followers, working out, looking insanely good, and playing golf. In 2021, she collaborated with brands like Fashion Nova and Bang Energy.

Alica Schmidt - Runner

According to The Sun, Alica Schmidt might just be the world's prettiest female athlete. With her outstanding beauty, the German track and field runner might have already taken over the world, literally! She has a running sponsorship with mega-companies like Puma.

Schmidt runs an Instagram account with nearly 1.5 million followers and a YouTube channel with over 75k subscribers to get in touch with her fans. She was part of the 2020 Summer Olympics German relay squad but never competed. The former Borussia Dortmund fitness coach was featured in the German TV documentary "Ein Herz für Kinder" in 2021.

Maria Sharapova - Tennis

Maria Sharapova is a highly-talented Russian tennis superstar who has hogged the spotlight for a long time due to her talent and beauty. Retired in February 2020, she remains as beautiful as ever, even though she no longer enjoys being on the court.

Sharapova has been living in the United States since 1994, rising from a young girl from Nyagan city to a five-time world number one tennis player. Her supermodel looks never overshadowed her playing abilities, and she was featured in two documentaries, "Chasing Greatness" and "Success Formula" in 2021.

Antonija Sandrić - Basketball

Looking at the height of Antonija Sandrić at over five feet tall and her striking beauty, a modeling career may seem like an obvious choice and an ideal one. Well, the Croatian superstar chose a different route, opting for professional basketball playing. She's played for multiple European basketball clubs and Croatia's women's national basketball team.

What is certain about Marko Sandrić's wife is that wherever she goes, she'll score plenty of basket points and melt many hearts along the way with her beauty. As of February 2022, Sandrić was signed to CCC Polkowice of the Basket Liga Kobiet.

Lindsey Vonn - Alpine Ski Racing

Alpine skiing may not be many people's favorite sport, but it is known worldwide. If there was ever a reason to watch it, Lindsey Vonn might have been it. Whether for a ski fanatic or not, the star of "The Pack" film is undoubtedly appealing.

Vonn, who retired in 2019, is a blonde bombshell skier with four world championships and an Olympic gold medal to boot. The 2022 director of "Picabo" has the skiers' second-highest super ranking of all genders. She began her skiing career at just 16 and has become an NBC primetime correspondent.

Silje Norendal - Snowboarding

Silje Norendal is a beautiful blonde and a blue-eyed stunner with a complexion that could pass for a modeling career. However, the reality is that she's a superstar in the sport of snowboarding. This amazing Norwegian snowboard icon has repeatedly blown our minds with her playing skills.

Norendal has earned herself four gold medals and a bronze in only two X-Games competitions. She has won silver and bronze medals in the world championships on several occasions. She officially retired in 2020, 14 months before the Winter Olympics, after learning that she was carrying a child.

Holly Sonders - Golf

Holly Sonders is one of the most multitalented golfers you can find. She has been a successful reporter, an Instagram influencer, and a sportscaster. Ideally, the girlfriend of boxing star Oscar De La Hoya belongs in the spotlight, having found a passion for golf during her adolescent years. She even won her first organized tournament at seven.

Apart from hosting several episodes of the "School of Golf Show" in 2012, she also featured in the U.S. Open Championship in 2015. She was the producer and host of the TV series "OutKick the Coverage" from 2017 to 2021.

Eugénie Bouchard - Tennis

It's high time Canada built this amazing tennis player, Eugénie Bouchard, a cool statue! She is an emblem of beauty, brains, and talent as a professional Canadian tennis player. In fact, having won the 2012 Wimbledon girls' title, she received an award for the WTA's most improved player in 2014.

Aside from being one of the top five Canadian tennis players in singles, she has over $6 million in cash prizes. Hard work and enthusiasm have made her one of the most promising tennis players. Bouchard participated in the 2021 Australian Open.

Serena Williams - Tennis

We ran out of superlatives to praise Serena Williams. If not, her fortune of over $250 million should serve as a pointer to her success on the tennis court. The 23-Grand Slam singles titleholder, the most in the open era by any player, is only one title behind the all-time great Margaret Court.

Oddly, William's looks have raised controversies in the past, with some failing to appreciate her beauty as a strong woman. That notwithstanding, she's modeled in the past and endorsed many activism causes. In early 2022, Williams said that she had mapped out her retirement from tennis and planned to have more kids.

Danica Patrick - Race Driving

In the past, race driving was mainly for men until Danica Patrick dominated the scene. She decided to take the wheel, both metaphorically and literally. Patrick is not the type to watch the game from the sidelines!

In 2008, Patrick set history by becoming the first and only woman to win an IndyCar series race. She's not only considered the most successful female racing driver in America; we may also add that she's the most beautiful! The 2021 "United States Grand Prix" Sky Sports F1 broadcast team member retired in 2018.

Ellen Hoog - Field Hockey

Ellen Hoog, a field hockey player from the small Dutch town of Bloemendaal, wowed the world with her incredible stick skills. She won two Olympic gold medals with the Dutch women's national hockey team, three European championships, and two world cups, playing over 230 times.

Retired in May 2017, Hoog was a bonafide prom queen in the not-so-graceful game of hockey. She's arguably the best female athlete ever to play the game, making headlines for her records. The mother of one's good looks also worked magic, drawing the media to her! Hoog appeared on the TV show "De Verraders" in 2022.

Chloe Kim - Snowboarding

For Chloe Kim, success came early at the young age of 17. Born in 2000, she won her first of two Olympic snowboarding gold medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics. That was the first time a woman went home with that award in the women's snowboard halfpipe.

At the top of the world as a teenager, Kim didn't lose her stride, coming back to win her second golden prize at the 2022 Winter Olympics. She then set history as the first woman to win two golden medals in the same discipline, halfpipe. But as per a 2022 Huff Post article, she lost one of them.

Robin Bone - Pole Vaulting

Always standing out with her helmet, Robin Bone, a Canadian pole vaulter, sadly had multiple concussions while competing as a gymnast. She chose to use the headgear in the pole vault to prevent future concussions from the sport. But just before you become all teary-eyed, you'll be left stunned by Bone's beautiful blue eyes whenever she's not jumping sky high.

Bone has competed in the Olympics, posting impressive results. The 2021 participant at the inaugural DMV Pole Vault Championships has an undeniable talent and good looks! Her over 50k Instagram followers are her loyal fanbase.

Aly Raisman - Gymnastics

Aly Raisman was only two when she began her gymnastics training, and by the time she retired in January 2020, she had won three Olympic gold medals. This Needham, Massachusetts-born American artistic gymnast was born talented in her chosen sport, and that's not all!

Away from competitive sports, Raisman has excelled in modeling, a career she naturally seems to fit into, causing a lasting impression on the catwalk. The executive producer of a 2021 episode of the TV series documentary "Darkness to Light" is a brunette beauty with piercing brown eyes.

Paige VanZant - Mixed Martial Arts

Paige VanZant is uniquely beautiful, so you might be tempted to think that she's only a model and not anything closer to being a sportswoman, let alone a mixed martial artist. She is so good at her trade that she rarely gets a swollen face or has her looks ruined in her over eight years of professional fighting.

VanZant has an impressive MMA record of eight wins out of 13 fights, two via knock-out. The 2022 All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite wrestler has an adorable girl-next-door look that, if mistaken, can lead to a painful experience!

Michelle Jenneke - Hurdling

Michelle Jenneke, a professional hurdler, is used to avoiding obstacles in life and has grown to make the most of every opportunity. The Michelle Jenneke pre-race dance phenomenon began in 2012 when her characteristic warm-up dance went viral and became an online sensation.

Jenneke is a beautifully talented and intelligent lady with good looks, a naturally born sportswoman, and a brain-smart star, having studied mechatronics at Sydney University. As of 2022, she represented Australia in various hurdling races, made it to several magazine covers, and appeared in a stretching app.

Ronda Rousey - Judo, Mixed Martial Arts, And Wrestling

If one lady can have it all, it's Ronda "Rowdy" Rousey, who isn't only gorgeous but crazily talented and an extremely versatile fighter. She's one of the world's most notable female fighters as a mixed martial artist. In fact, she's a former judoka and a famous pro wrestler.

The 2022 WWE Royal Rumble winner, Rousey, is a uniquely charming lady with good looks to boot, barring her ability to cause some serious damage in the ring. Her impressive fighting experience even overlaps with her career as a successful actress and author.

Ali Krieger - Soccer

Ali Krieger can look back with pride on her achievements in the soccer field, having been a two-time world cup winner and a UEFA Women's Cup winner with German side FFC Frankfurt. She has over 100 caps for the US women's national soccer team.

Besides her playing skills and gorgeous looks, Krieger has a kind and nurturing heart, collaborating with several philanthropic organizations to help the needy in society. She has even collaborated with the MiracleFeet organization to help kids in developing countries. As of February 2022, Krieger was playing for the NJ/NY Gotham FC of the NWSL.

Hope Solo - Soccer

The US women's national soccer team had their goal post guarded by the safe pair of hands of Hope Solo for a long time, significantly impacting their success in the game over the years. The beautiful superstar is touted as one of the best female goalkeepers ever to grace the game.

By the time she retired in August 2016, Hope had won nearly everything in the women's game, including two Olympic gold medals and a World Cup. She left behind several records, but that didn't stop her from looking gorgeous and glammed up on the red carpet. She appeared in the 2021 series "TYT Sports."

Camila Giorgi - Tennis

Italians know how to strike an elegant pose whenever necessary, as seen in this gorgeous photo of Camila Giorgi. More than her charm, she's an extremely talented tennis player who began playing at five and has gone on to beat superstars like Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova.

A quadrilingual tennis star, Giorgi has a fortune of about $1.6 million made from her outstanding athletic skills. This budding lingerie model and 30th-ranked female tennis player participated in the 2022 Australian Open and lost to first-seeded player Ashleigh Barty in the third round.

McKayla Maroney - Artistic Gymnastics

Retired American artistic gymnast McKayla Maroney has an Olympic gold to show for her talents in the sport. After popularizing the "I'm not impressed" facial expression at the 2012 Olympics, she became an online sensation. She became a darling of many meme-makers who couldn't resist her beauty.

The 2021 guest judge of "Puppy Bowl Presents: The Summer Games" has had new experiences post-Olympic life, signing an Adidas sponsorship agreement in the process. Maroney appeared in a "30 Seconds to Mars" video and judged a Miss America pageant. She's a budding musician that released her debut single in 2017.

Michelle Waterson - Mixed Martial Arts

Name any fighting style you can think of, and there's a good chance Michelle Waterson knows a thing or two about it. This mixed martial arts star is a skilled competitor in boxing, karate, wrestling, Muay Thai, and wushu. She attempted modeling at some point before joining the UFC ranks.

Fully aware of her many talents, Waterson seems to have found more joy in the ring than she did on the catwalk. Even so, her stunning looks point more to modeling than fighting, her cup of tea! The 2022 "The Cleaning Lady" star has 17 victories out of 25 matches in MMA.

Caroline Wozniacki - Tennis

In tennis history, only four women have made more cash prizes than Caroline Wozniacki, the Danish tennis superstar. The sports star worth $50 million is fondly remembered as the fifth-best female tennis player of all time. Amazingly, she achieved all that before turning 30!

Wozniacki retired in 2020, but her fans can still marvel at her stunningly good looks, especially when she rocks her bikini in beautiful pictures like a real champion. The mother of Olivia, born in June 2021, appeared in the 2021 TV special documentary, "G.O.A.T.s with Photographer Walter Iooss."

Whitney Miller - Miss USA 2012 And Jiu-Jitsu

When you look at beauty pageant ladies, don't you find them fragile? Well, not always, especially when you meet Whitney Miller! Thanks to her jiu-jitsu training, this beautiful damsel can throw a punch. Yes, she's very beautiful, but the former Miss USA 2012 is more than a pretty face.

Miller, who has also won as Miss Texas United States 2012, is a bonafide Instagram superstar as of 2022. But before that, she was also a professional wake surfer. Don't ever confuse her with "MasterChef" Season 1 contestant Whitney Miller because they are two different people.

Becky Lynch - Wrestling

Rebecca Quin, professionally known as Becky Lynch, is a four-time "SmackDown" Women's Champion and one of the most famous wrestlers. This wrestling beauty queen ranks among the highest-paid female wrestlers worldwide. She began wrestling in Limerick, her hometown, appearing in local independent circuits, often tag-teaming with her brother.

As fate would have it, Lynch made it to America and the biggest stage of them all: WWE. She's very aggressive and self-centered in the ring, but she's a steamy red-headed sweetheart outside. As of February 2022, Lynch was the reigning Raw Women's Champion in her second reign.

Jennie Finch - Softball

Time magazine described Jennie Finch as the most famous softball player ever before she retired in 2010 to take care of her family. Since then, the beautiful softball superstar has worked as an ESPN color commentator. At least there's another reason to watch the sports channel!

Throughout Finch's professional career, she was a pitcher for the Arizona Wildcats and played a role in the US 2004 Olympic Games softball gold medal. Her beauty and talent notwithstanding, she was the guest manager of the Bridgeport Bluefish, becoming the first woman to coach a professional baseball team. In 2021, she appeared in the documentary "Good Luck."

Natalie Gulbis - Golf

Some sports fans who are not into golf think it's a boring hobby for old and wealthy business people. However, American pro golfer Natalie Gulbis sees no such thing, proving all golf stereotypes wrong. Gulbis was born a natural golfer and entered her first tournament at seven and has been at it from then on.

Gulbis has four professional wins under her belt, totaling about $4-million worth of prizes in cash. In 2021, this gorgeous athlete made the cut for "The Evian Championship," although she announced her retirement in 2020.

Alana Blanchard - Surfing

Some sports stars were born right into their areas of expertise. Alana Blanchard, originally from Kauai, in Hawaii, is a beach girl knowledgeable about waves and surfboards. Her prowess in surfing adds to the model and wetsuit maker's beauty.

In 2011, through the documentary "Soul Surfer," we saw Blanchard's resolve in difficulties, having stood by her childhood friend and fellow surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm to a shark attack. Together with her pro-surfer husband, Jack Freestone, the vegan surfer announced in March 2021 that they were expecting their second child in July of the same year.

Gabby Douglas - Artistic Gymnastics

Gabby Douglas must be ecstatic after becoming the first African-American woman to bag a golden Olympic medal in the individual all-around category. That's just one of the three she collected between 2012 and 2016!

The Virginia native's talent and fame don't blur her unmistakable natural beauty. Though retired since August 2016, she's still seen around town as a TV star and author. Apart from being the executive producer of her 2016 reality TV series, "Douglas Family Gold," she lent her voice to a character in the 2022 TV series short, "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder."

Stephanie Rice - Swimming

When in Australia, you either learn to swim correctly or avoid getting in the water at all. Well, if there was a woman who could outswim an Australian shark, it would be the beautiful Stephanie Rice. Though retired since 2014, she made history in the 2008 Summer Olympics, bagging three medals for Australia.

The 2009 Medal of the Order of Australia holder won the third season of "The Celebrity Apprentice Australia" in 2013 and has been a vegan since 2012. Rice, a 2019 inductee into the International Swimming Hall of Fame, worked with Australia's Channel 7 in 2021, commentating on the Tokyo Games.

She's played for several clubs, including F.C. Indiana, Atlanta Beat, and FC Kansas City. The star of "The Creatress" was also excellent at basketball at a young age.

The former Canadian national team soccer player has stunning greenish-grey eyes, buoyed by her girl-next-door looks accompanying her sweet demeanor off the field. As of February 2022, this Olympic bronze medalist, vociferous tackler, and talented defender was playing for the Santa Clarita Blue Heat.

Hilary Knight - Ice Hockey

Born in California in 1989, American professional ice hockey player Hilary Knight found her love for the sport when she moved to Idaho as a child. It's in the icy Sun Valley where she would sharpen her skills and expertise in the sport, becoming one of the finest female players to grace the game.

This beautiful damsel doesn't only dazzle with her stunning looks but is also an embodiment of ice hockey success, with seven Women's World Championships. The 2022 Winter Olympics silver medalist also has a gold medal from the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Jennifer Lacy - Basketball

Some sporting genes run deep, as the gorgeous Jennifer Lacy, daughter of former MLB professional Lee Lacy, will tell you. Yes, she was involved in sports at an early age, but she chose basketball instead of baseball, her father's forte. She joined the WNBA in 2006, playing for the Phoenix Mercury, and a year later, she won her first WNBA championship.

Lacy, who is very secretive, last played for the Connecticut Sun in 2015 and, as of 2022, is a free agent. In the same year, she began working with Alex English to organize basketball clinics.

Blair O'Neal - Golf

Blair O'Neal is yet another American female pro golfer breaking the stereotypes linked with the game. She's a triple threat as an athlete, a TV personality, and a model. While she's stunningly beautiful at first glance, it's the golf club that drove her to where she is today.

The 2021 "School of Golf" host started playing golf at 11 with her brother Tyler O'Neal, but her "big break" came when she appeared on the show "Big Break: Prince Edward Island." O'Neal carries with her a convincing smirk, much like her moves on the golf course.

Misty May-Treanor - Beach Volleyball

Here's a small beach volleyball fact: If Misty May-Treanor is on a team, they'll most likely win the match. This former American beach volleyball legend was a persistent medal collector. Some of her accolades include three world championships and three successive Olympic gold medals.

May-Treanor looks fantastic after retiring in 2012 when she bagged a golden medallion at the Olympics. As of 2022, she was the volleyball operations director at Long Beach College and worked on the VP Beach Volleyball Tour broadcast. She made a minor TV appearance in "Wizards of Waverly Place" in 2009.

Michelle Wie West - Golf

As early as ten, Michelle Wie started making headlines in the world of golf, becoming the youngest player to qualify for a USGA amateur championship. Big brands took notice of her achievements and quickly swooped in for her. She was a lucky lady with several endorsement deals to choose from by the time she turned professional at 16.

Wie, who at the start of 2022 signed with Excel Sports Management, has five LPGA wins under her belt and has finished first in the US Women's Open. The golfing beauty is now also a mother after welcoming her daughter in 2020.

Allison Stokke - Pole Vaulting

In high school, all Allison Stokke wanted was to become the world's first-class pole-vaulter. Well, she outdid herself, breaking the U.S. record for a freshman with a vault of 3.86 m! Even if she didn't ask for attention, her stunning looks made her an internet sensation.

Soon, Nike took notice and gave her a lucrative modeling deal. Mother of Maya Fowler, born in November 2021, Stokke continues to deliver brilliant results in the pole vault. She has also taken an interest in golf, thanks to her pro-golfer husband, Rickie Fowler.

Sydney Leroux - Soccer

Sydney Leroux is one of the most talented female American soccer players, with 35 goals in 77 outings for her country. She doesn't only impress people on the pitch and off of it; she turns heads with her physique and beauty, boasting 15 tattoos.

Alex Morgan - Soccer

If you ask any European what American soccer is, they'll most likely make fun of it. Well, the game is still finding its footing in America, and one of the exceptional female players involved with that growth is Alex Morgan, who's one of its biggest stars.

As of February 2022, this California-born center forward plays for San Diego Wave FC of the NWSL and co-captained the US women's soccer team between 2018 and 2020. Morgan, who has stunning blue eyes giving her the appeal of the girl next door, has won many individual and collective awards in soccer.

Ana Ivanovic - Tennis

Serbia must be very proud of its tennis superstars. Some of its outstanding stars are Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic, who call the shots on the tennis lawns. In 2008, Ivanovic was the number one female tennis player in the world ranking, and in 2011, she was featured in Times magazine's "Top 100 greatest players ever" list.

When she felt her form was no longer up to her expected high standards, Ivanovic retired in December 2016. Nonetheless, she seems to have influenced many athletes to pursue tennis! In 2021, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that she could make a return to the WTA.

Lolo Jones - Hurdling and Bobsleigh

Lori "Lolo" Jones stands out as one of the unique female athletes on this list. After all, she's one of the few athletes to compete in both the Winter and Summer Olympics! The 2021 bobsled IBSF World Championships winner made an unexpected appearance on the American 2014 Olympic bobsleigh team as their brakewoman.

Jones, who authored the memoir "Over It," is a hurdler and bobsledder of repute who made her career mainly in hurdling. The 2021 host of "The Challenge" specializes in the 60- and 100-meter hurdles, getting gold medals in many international championships.

Other than her figure skating trade, Gold often performed to songs like "Shake It Off." She's classical and graceful when she rocks Taylor Swift's pop hits. She's the first American lady to win an NHK Trophy and the holder of the highest short program score ever recorded by an American athlete.
