She started appearing in films as an extra in the 2003 hit Quentin Tarantino movie, “Kill Bill.” But as the years progressed, so did her roles, until she was co-starring in movies like “Fast & Furious 6,” in which she has two pretty cool fight scenes with Michelle Rodriguez.

Caroline Wozniacki

Born in Denmark, pro tennis player Caroline Wozniacki two-handed and backhanded her way straight to the number 1 singles player in the world. She’s won 30 Women’s Tennis Association singles titles, and she was the runner up to Serena Williams in the 2014 US Open. She and Williams have had a long-standing friendly rivalry on the court, but they’re actual friends in real life.

According to her dating roster, it’s clear she prefers to date athletic men, as well. She was with Irish pro golfer Rory Mcllroy for 2 years, from 2011-2014, and later went on to date NBA champ David Lee.

Hilary Knight

If you saw Hilary Knight in a restaurant and weren’t aware of who she was, you probably wouldn’t have the slightest clue that she spends most of her time body checking people into walls on the ice. Why? Because she has this gorgeous, sweet smile that doesn’t scream “I could definitely injure you,” – but she totally could, which is part of what makes her so awesome.

Well, that and the eight gold medals she’s won over the past several years, one of which was in the 2018 Winter Olympics, when she scored the first goal for the team and won. The other seven were at the IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s Championships.

Antonija Sandric

The Croatian pro-basketball player got her start in the industry because of her older sister. She began her professional career in 2005, and by 2009, she was representing her national team at the Mediterranean Games, where she was named “Miss Mediterranean.” In 2012, she competed in the Olympics and was called the “most beautiful woman” at the games by “The Bleacher Report.”

 


But they’re not the only ones who’ve noticed her stunning appearance, because she’s widely regarded as Croatia’s most beautiful sports star. And some people may even say she’s the best-looking female basketball player, period – just ask NBA star, Nate Robinson.

Hope Solo

Hope is pretty much the face of women’s soccer in the United States – for people who have never watched a women’s soccer game in the United States. One of the top goalies in the world, Solo has competed across the globe in several major competitions – including the Olympics, which she has earned a spot in 3 times, and walked away from with 2 gold medals.

She has also played in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2007, 2008, and 2011, when she became the second goalie in history to reach 100 caps. She has appeared on a number of magazines and TV shows, including “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

Maria Sharapova

This 5-time Grand Slam Champion has been playing professional tennis since before her 15th birthday. The Russian pro player is a serious contender, winning at least one title per year over the course of her career, which is still going strong today. She has signed all kinds of modeling/endorsement deals with several major brands, including an 8-year, $70 million contract with Nike, as well as appearing on multiple magazines, such as “The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.”

Sharapova has earned nearly $300 million over the years. “Forbes” called her one of the highest-paid female sports stars in the world. She launched her own mentorship program for female entrepreneurs in 2018, as well.

Becky Lynch

Sultry Irish wrestling star Becky Lynch, also known as Rebecca Quin, has made quite a name for herself within the WWE, which is the current federation she calls home. She got her start in the industry in 2002 and was signed with the WWE in 2012. Fast forward to now, and she is still making waves.

 


She had a hell of a year last year, with several wins under her belt, including defending her Smackdown Women’s Championship title. The wrestler has also appeared on screen a few times, once to perform stunts for an episode of “Vikings,” and another for a role on “Marine 6: Close Quarters.”

Robin Bone

This Canadian pole-vaulting star is a 3-time U Sports national champion. And now, she’s a signed model with The Slu Agency, which has offices in Miami and Los Angeles. She’s also got an Instagram account with nearly 30,000 followers, where she posts photos of her daily workout routines and competitions. But before she was famous for the pole vault, she was training in a different sport altogether – gymnastics.

 


She told CBC that she was forced to give it up, however, after she suffered multiple concussions. The injuries resulted in her wearing a signature helmet during her sporting events.

Lindsey Vonn

In 2019 it was announced that Vonn would be inducted into The Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. She is one of just two female skiers in the sport’s history to win 4 World Cup Overall Championships, not to mention her gold medal for the downhill race at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

But aside from her abundant talent, she’s also gorgeous, which is why she’s appeared in several magazines, including the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue” – three times, with the latest being earlier this year.

Serena Williams

Pretty much everyone in the world knows of Serena Williams. She, along with her sister Venus, are two of the most well-known names in professional women’s tennis. To be fair, they’re two of the most well-known in all of professional tennis and professional sports, period.

Aside from winning more than 20 major titles, Serena has launched her own fashion line, and in early 2019, a venture-capital investment firm for women, Serena Ventures, which has already invested in over 30 companies, according to Inc.com. Some of the companies she’s invested in include Billie, MasterClass, and LOLA.

Danica Patrick

Pretty much everyone in the United States knows who Danica Patrick is, even if they’ve never watched a single race in their life. That’s because not only is she a great athlete, but she’s a total babe, which has gotten her a ton of publicity over the years.

She’s graced the covers of a ton of magazines, including “Sports Illustrated” – on multiple occasions. Including right after her first Indy 500 when she became the first woman ever to lead a lap during the event. She is widely regarded as the most successful woman in the history of open-wheel racing.

Gabby Douglas

This amazingly talented professional gymnast was already winning medals at the age of 8, thanks to her older sister, who taught her how to do her first cartwheel when Gabby was just a toddler. She started training full-time at 14, and by 2010, she was earning gold medals in major competitions. 2012 was a huge year for her and the rest of the Fierce Five, who walked away from the Summer Olympics in London with the team gold.

 


Gabby also racked up one of her own, as the All-Around Gold Medalist. That made her the first African American in the history of the games to do so. She is currently training hard in anticipation of competing in Tokyo in 2020.

Marta Menegatti

This Italian pro-beach volleyball player has been playing her sport since before she even turned 10 years old. Now, she’s the proud holder of 2 golds, 7 silvers, and 7 bronze medals on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour. In September of 2015, she and the rest of the Italian women’s national team won their first World Tour title.

For a while, she was dating another pro volleyball player from her country named Alex Rangheri. She stays very active on her Instagram, where she has nearly 50,000 followers.

Camila Giorgi

This Italian pro tennis player won her first International Tennis Federation tournament in 2009 and made her Women’s Tennis Association debut a couple of years later in 2011. That same year, she reached the finals in Raleigh and closed the year with a total of 36 wins.

 


She won her first WTA title in 2015 and earned the highest ranking of her career – #26 – 3 years later. Giorgi is very active on her Instagram account, where she frequently posts photos of herself for her 237,000 followers, as well as on her official Facebook page that has 280,000 followers.

Jennifer Lacy

Jennifer Lacy’s father, Lee, was a Major League Baseball player, so it makes sense that she would have chosen to go into athletics. After playing basketball during college at Pepperdine University, she joined the WNBA. During the off-season between 2008 and 2009, she went to China, where she played for Beijing Shougang.

In 2013, she was attacked by her ex-girlfriend, former WNBA player Chamique Holdsclaw, who poured gasoline on and shot into her car when she was in it. Luckily, she wasn’t injured during the attack, and Holdsclaw was arrested for the incident.

Alana Blanchard

Blanchard, like most surfers (and a lot of athletes, for that matter), risks her life pretty much every time she goes out in the water and does what she does. Surfers get injured every day – or worse, attacked by sharks, which actually happened to one of her friends right in front of her. But she didn’t let that stop her. She got right back on the board and kept doing what she loves.

Besides being an incredible surfer, Alana Blanchard is also a swimwear model who appears in ads for Curl Swimwear, and she recently signed an endorsement deal with Reebok, as well. She also stays pretty active on her Instagram, where she has over 1.8 million followers.

Allison Stokke

Even those who don’t really follow pole vaulting more than likely know of Allison Stokke, considering she is arguably the most famous woman in the sport. But that’s mainly because a photo of her waiting to jump during an event went viral and launched her to stardom. Even though she was shy of 18 by several months at the time, the photo spawned (new) male fans to make “internet crush” sites based on the image.

 


But, had it not been for that image, she may not have made it into the likes of “The New York Times,” “L.A Times” and “Washington Post.” Sure, it’s very creepy how it happened, but hey – it happened, right? Years later, and she has had all kinds of brand endorsement deals with major brands like Nike.

Paige VanZant

Paige VanZant has accomplished a lot at a young age, but she’s mainly known for being a UFC strawweight and flyweight fighter, the latter of which she is currently ranked as number 13. She almost appeared on the UFC’s show in 2013, until she was released for being too young (she was a few months shy of 21 at the time.)

She has appeared on a few TV shows, though, including “Chopped” in 2017, as well as competing on season 22 of “Dancing with the Stars,” where she placed second with pro dancing partner Mark Ballas. In 2018, she released a book that she authored about her life called “Rise: Surviving the Fight of My Life.”

Alex Morgan

In 2015, Morgan had already been ranked as one of the highest-paid women’s soccer players by “Time Magazine.” But 2019 was one of her biggest and busiest years yet.

The California girl has made multiple magazine covers, including “Time” and “Sports Illustrated.” She made “Time’s” list of the Top 100 Most Influential People, and she helped lead Team USA to a victory over France in the Women’s World Cup. Plus, she did all of this while looking fabulous – and that’s all just in one year!

Aly Raisman

Aly Raisman is another huge name in American gymnastics. She was yet another member, and captain of the winning Fierce Five, both in 2012 and 2016. At the games in London in 2012, she went home as the most decorated gymnast, with 2 golds and 1 bronze to her name. But aside from being one of the most talented gymnastics stars in the country, she’s also got a side career as a model.

Clad in a bikini, she appeared in the 2017 and 2018 editions of the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.” Her floor routine dancing skills came in handy on the 16th season of “Dancing with The Stars,” too, in which she placed 4th with her partner, Mark Ballas.

Jennie Finch

Jennie Finch is probably the single most well-known woman in all of softball. The 2-time All-Star played for the Chicago Bandits, Arizona Wildcats, and of course, Team USA, who she helped lead to victory on several occasions. In 2004, they won a gold medal and, four years later, a silver.

She retired from the sport in 2010 but still remains connected to it through her job as a commentator with ESPN, who covers college games and National Pro Fastpitch. All of her talent and hard work in softball led to her being inducted into its National Hall of Fame. In 2004, “People” magazine called Finch one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World.”

Anna Kournikova

This gorgeous Russian former pro-tennis player was born with athleticism running through her veins. Her mother ran 400-meter races, her brother plays professional golf, and her father, who is a former wrestling champ, teaches martial arts in Moscow.

Getty Images Photo by Jason Squires


She was launched to international fame in the late ’90s, when she was still a teenager and has since shown up on the cover of plenty of magazines, including “Maxim” and “The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.” In 2002 she made “FHM’s” list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World. She even has a drink named after her – which is a White Russian made with non-fat milk.

Michelle Jenneke

Michelle Jenneke, an Australian 100m hurdler, rose to international fame when a video of her doing her pregame dance went viral in 2012. The following year, she appeared in the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.” But before everyone in the world knew who she was, she was already well-known in her country for being a talented hurdler. It’s no wonder, considering she started training at the age of 10.

The hurdler studied Mechatronics, which is a branch of engineering, at Sydney University. She’s got over 500,000 followers on her Instagram account, where she stays active and posts pictures of her events and extracurriculars.

Natalie Gulbis

Gulbis has done wonders for the image of women’s golf. After all, watching golf in itself is incredibly boring. But she’s been able to spice things up a bit during her time in the LGPA. People who didn’t watch golf a day in their lives started tuning in, especially after releasing her calendar in 2004, which featured her posing in various swimsuits.

Then, in 2012, she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated covered in just body paint. She also appeared on a few TV shows, including the second season of Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”
