Hottest Female Athletes (One For Each Sport)

She was offered a lucrative contract to appear nude for Playboy magazine, but commented to the press on August 14, 2004 that the offer was not going to tempt her. She said that she would "rather be a role model for young girls." She also said that "muscles on women are beautiful, but my personal decision is to stay away from those things; to stay away from that." She once appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated wearing a tank top and a mini skirt.

Quote:"I believe, at the end of the day, personally, my life is not about a banana." (when asked at the press conference after the 2006 U.S. open final about her father's illegal signaling and feeding her during the match).

Amanda Beard made her first Olympic appearance at the 1996 games at the age of 14. She won silver medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststrokes, and a gold in the medley relay. Her young-teen manner captured the attention of the media, and she was often photographed clutching her teddy bear which joined her on the medal stand.

In 1997, competing with the best global beach volleyball players ever assembled, Gabby's 4-person team took first place at the first-ever Beach Volleyball World Championships staged at the UCLA Tennis Center. A Florida State star turned pro, 1997 was Gabby's fifth season as a team captain in the 4-person Women's Beach Volleyball League (WBVL), and her fourth captaining Team Nike, which shared League Co-Championship. She was only a sophomore at Florida State University when Elle named her "one of the five most beautiful Women in the world" in 1989, the same year her coach said, "She likes to hit the ball hard and put it back in somebody's face."

When talk heated up of a possible future Patrick move to NASCAR in July 2006, fellow IRL driver Ed Carpenter said, "I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there." He later said that he meant no disrespect, and that he felt she could hold her own on whatever circuit she was in. He also said it was unlikely she would jump to NASCAR.

At the age of 18, Lokelani became the youngest female ever to participate in the Ironman competition - the Holy Grail of Triathalon events.

She models on the side to "pay the bills" and allow herself to train as much as she wants. Her little modeling hobby has gotten her layouts in Esquire and FHM - all in the last year, her first in the business. A Hawaiian native, she says her name is really Lokelani Kuulei Make Mai which means "Heavenly rose my precious flower lei."

When she released her calendar for 2005 just before the 2004 U.S. Women's Open, which featured Gulbis in different pictures that showed her playing golf, in addition to striking poses in swimwear, the United States Golf Association (USGA) barred it from being sold at the event, deeming it inappropriate, though the calendar was sold very openly at Golf Canada. The USGA was criticized for overreacting. Gulbis also posed for the November 2004 issue of the magazine FHM, an issue that also gave away a chance to play golf with her at her home course, the Lake Las Vegas Resort, where her calendar photo shoot took place.

Bleiler gave herself a black eye while trying to perfect her Crippler, an inverted spinning trick, in an icy pipe before the final Olympic qualifier in 2002. Growing up, Gretchen wanted to go to the Olympics as a swimmer and a diver, but when she moved to Colorado, she thought her way into the Games was through hockey. However, she found a way to incorporate some of the same diving and ice skating techniques through snowboarding.

Jackson posed nude in an Australian magazine, Black+White, that featured Olympic athletes who were set to compete in Athens in the 2004 Summer Olympics. The expensively-printed magazine/book has been produced for the last three Olympic Games, and by the 2004 edition was considered relatively uncontroversial in Australia with its "artistic" approach to nude photography and its equal coverage of male and female athletes. Jackson also posed for the 2005 edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. After Jackson's pro basketball career she hopes to be involved with a women's refuge and help victims of rape and domestic violence.

Jenn Sterger rose to fame after she was shown on national television during the 2005 Florida State–Miami football game. On seeing the shot, announcer Brent Musburger commented that "15,000 young red-blooded American men just signed up to go to Florida State next semester." She is one of the FSU Cowgirls who are known for their sartorial combinations of minimalist tops, short shorts, and cowboy hats. She has since posed in both Maxim and Playboy magazines.

Shortly after Nordegren's relationship with Woods became public, nude photographs of a woman resembling Nordegren began circulating on the internet, with text claiming it was, in fact, her. Nordegren, whose modelling work did include bikini photo shoots, vehemently denied that she has ever posed nude. The nude photographs claimed to be of Nordegren actually depict Playboy magazine model Kim Hiott, and most are derived from the 2000 edition of Playboy's "Nudes" special edition.

So how dangerous is spinning around upside down on skis? Very. But snowmobiling is much gnarlier. I once rolled a 500-pound snowmobile down a hill—thankfully I got out of the way before I was crushed. I also skydive, bungee jump, wakeboard, surf and ride dirt bikes. I’ve never had any serious injuries while skiing, but our career span is only a few years long because we work our bodies so hard.

Which part of your body gets the most attention? I have big lips. When I was younger, people would make fun of them; now people have collagen implants to make their lips look like mine. Guys tell me my lips are good for kissing, but I’m sure that’s not all they’re thinking.
