Alex Morgan - Soccer

Although many Europeans don't consider American soccer to be the real thing just because it's dubbed "soccer" rather than "football," there's one exception. The country is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of excellence in female soccer, and Alex Morgan is one of its brightest stars.

This California-born center-forward, who captains the San Diego Wave FC and the U.S. women's soccer team, has won every possible accolade in the sport. In 2015, Time magazine even ranked her among the highest-earning female athletes. But with her gorgeous blue eyes and girl-next-door allure, Morgan doesn't only score goals on the field; she also does it daily in "real life."

Alica Schmidt - Runner

Alica Schmidt may be a 1998-born athlete, but she has already taken over the globe. According to The Sun, she's an outstanding track and field runner who could also quite possibly be the most attractive athlete on the planet. Brands like Puma consistently sponsor the German-born star.

Schmidt has a YouTube channel with nearly 95k subscribers even though she's posted less than 20 videos. In addition, her Instagram account has got over 1.5 million followers, and that number is rising. Although she didn't compete, the former Borussia Dortmund fitness coach was part of the German relay team at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Michelle Wie - Golf

When Michelle Wie was ten, she started making waves in the golfing world. The big sponsors jumped on her as soon as she became the youngest athlete to ever qualify for a USGA amateur championship. She was fortunate enough to have her pick of several endorsement deals by the time she was 16 and starting her professional career.

Wie has been performing well since then, nearly instantly becoming a golf sensation. She has demonstrated that, regardless of her beauty, her golf ability is still her most outstanding quality, with five LPGA victories and a U.S. Women's Open win under her belt.

Serena Williams - Tennis

Where does one begin praising Serena Williams' outstanding accomplishments? She's a several-time top-ranked female tennis player in the world, has won the Olympic gold medal four times, and has earned over an incredible $92.7 million in prize money throughout her professional tennis career.

Of course, the usual naysayers have tried criticizing her for her looks. It seems some people don't value attractive, powerful women. But we are confident that Serena is an all-encompassing woman and a champion of historic stature. She has also done a lot of modeling in the past and supported several activism movements, including the Black Lives Matter campaign.

Jennie Finch - Softball

The stunning Jennie Finch, who Time magazine named the most well-known softball player in history, gave up playing in 2010 to devote more time to her family. We have an even stronger incentive to watch ESPN because she has since worked there as a color commentator after retiring.

She pitched for the Arizona Wildcats during her professional career and helped the U.S. national women's softball team win a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games. When she took on the role of guest manager for the Bridgeport Bluefish in 2016, Finch went on record as the first female ever to coach a professional baseball club.

Stephanie Rice - Swimming

In Australia, you can choose to be a good swimmer before hitting the water or avoid it altogether. But if ever a woman existed who could outswim any Australian shark, it would be the stunning Stephanie Rice. This former competitive swimmer created Olympic history in 2008 by winning three gold medals for the land Down Under.

Rice impressively posted world records on her way to winning the three events. She won season 3 of "The Celebrity Apprentice Australia" after receiving a Medal of the Order of Australia, one of the highest distinctions bestowed upon an Australian citizen. She has been a proud vegan since 2012.

Lolo Jones - Hurdling and Bobsleigh

One of the more exceptional athletes on this list is Lori "Lolo" Jones. She's, after all, one of the few athletes to have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympics! She achieved that feat through her unexpected role as the brakewoman for Team USA's bobsleigh at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Jones' primary career, though, was in hurdling. She has excelled in the 60- and 100-meter hurdle events, winning six gold medals in several international competitions. Indeed a woman of many abilities, she can fly over hazards on the track with the same effortless style as she rocks the red carpet, dressed to impress.

Sydney Leroux - Soccer

Sydney Leroux is another incredibly skilled American female soccer player. She achieved 35 goals in 77 games for the U.S. national women's soccer team between 2011 and 2017. Like many of her colleagues, Leroux mixes her ball skills with an unforgettable impression off the field.

Sporting one of the trendiest looks ever seen on a female athlete; she's also got 15 tattoos. The Orlando Pride striker has accomplished nearly everything in soccer, including winning an Olympic gold medal. Yet some fans may not know that she honed her skills in Canada, where she played as a youth at various levels before changing nationalities.

Silje Norendal - Snowboarding

In Scandinavia, blondes with blue eyes are not rare, yet snowboarder Silje Norendal from Norway still stands out. And not simply because she resembles a princess from a fairy tale. After all, this gifted athlete, who is 1993 Kongsberg-born, is one of snowboarding's top stars. She's engaged to Alexander Bonsaksen, a hockey player.

Norendal won four gold medals and one bronze in two different X-Games events, in addition to winning silver and bronze in two other World Championship categories. She finished in fourth place at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea, only a few points short of earning her first Olympic medal.

Eugenie Bouchard - Tennis

It's high time Canada erected a statue honoring Eugenie Bouchard! Born in Montreal in 1994, Bouchard has yet to hit her peak. In addition to being stunning, this gifted professional tennis player made history by being the first Canadian woman to reach the top five in the global rankings.

A star who was born to be on the tennis court, she began playing at the age of five. Fast-forward to 2022, and she's one of the most talented female athletes in tennis. She's collected over $6.6 million in prize money, making her one of the most promising and talented tennis stars in history.

Chloe Kim - Snowboarding

Celebrated American Olympian Chloe Kim was born in 2000 to South Korean parents. And she already has a gold Olympic snowboarding medal! Yes, with her victory at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, this budding superstar became the world's youngest female snowboarder to win a gold medal.

Kim has continued to soar, winning another Olympic gold medal in 2022. Being a stunning kid sitting on top of the world might get on your nerves, but she has never wavered from her goal. She's genuinely enthusiastic about snowboarding and has won an impressive five gold medals in the Winter X Games.

Holly Sonders - Golf

A master of many things here's one sports star who has also worked as a reporter and sportscaster. Holly Sonders once played golf but has become content with being an Instagram influencer as of June 2022. She has a special knack for thriving in the limelight and would have succeeded in any line of work she chose.

Sonders presented a few episodes of the School of Golf program in 2012 and has also covered the U.S. Open Championship as a reporter for Fox. The 1987 Ohio-born stunner participated in a "Playing A Round with Paige Renee" podcast episode in 2020.

Antonija Sandrić - Basketball

A modeling career looks like a far too easy decision when you are over 5 feet tall and resemble Antonija Sandrić. That could be why Croatian beauty decided to pursue a different career and became a pro basketball player.

Sandrić played for many European teams while representing Croatia, including Toulouse Métropole Basket in France and CCC Polkowice in Poland. No matter where she goes, she'll still score goals on the field and win some hearts along the way. She was described as one of the most stunning women to ever lace up some basketball shoes by NBA legend Nate Robinson in 2012.

Lindsey Vonn - Alpine Ski Racing

Alpine ski racing, also known as downhill skiing, is a prominent sport in Scandinavia, although it may not be your favorite. But if ever a reason emerged for you to watch it, Lindsey Vonn would be involved. Whether you enjoy skiing or not, we can almost guarantee that you adore the stunning woman in the image.

In addition to being a blonde bombshell, Vonn is an insanely accomplished former skier. The four-time World champion and Olympic gold medalist is ranked second among all skiers, men included, in the super rankings. She began competing at 16 and received nearly all of the offered awards.

Caroline Wozniacki - Tennis

Only four women have earned more prize money in tennis history than the Danish superstar Caroline Wozniacki. She's the fifth-best female tennis player of all time, with an astounding $35.23 million in prize money, and she accomplished this before turning 30!

Wozniacki, who retired in January 2020, will be greatly missed on the tennis courts. When she retired, she had won 30 singles titles, including a Grand Slam title. Thankfully, fans of the Danish superstar may continue to adore her gorgeous appearance. Outside of the court, Wozniacki can still sport a bikini and look quite stunning in a photo shoot.

Anna Kournikova - Tennis

The fact that former tennis sensation Anna Kournikova was once among the names with the most Google searches speaks for itself. Even though many of her supporters don't even follow tennis, this stunning Russian beauty has become well-known for her accomplishments on the court, including her Australian Open victory.

Kournikova reached the eighth spot in the global rankings and won 16 career titles, but she's perhaps used to being one of the most attractive people in the world. Enrique Iglesias, a Spanish music artist who wed Kournikova in 2001, may have been drawn to her by just looking at her stunning green eyes.

Alana Blanchard - Surfing

Alana Blanchard, an American surfer, was practically born on the beach. She's originally from Kauai, Hawaii, and is an expert on surfboards, waves, and the ocean. This gorgeous star not only makes her living surfing, but she also designs wetsuits and she models.

After fellow surfer Bethany Hamilton suffered a shark attack and lost her arm in 2011, the incident put Blanchard's emotions to the test. Although she and Hamilton have been close friends since they were young, the horrific experience has not caused the two accomplished surfers to give up on the water. The documentary "Soul Surfer" from 2011 details their experiences.

Blair O'Neal - Golf

Blair O'Neal is another professional golfer that defies the norms of the sport. She's an American triple threat as she's also a model and a television personality. Although her striking appearance draws your attention to her right away, O'Neal's skill with the club propelled her to where she is.

Funnily enough, her ''big break'' came after appearing in the television program "Big Break: Prince Edward Island," which had a generous prize pool of around $1 million. O'Neal frequently makes appearances on chat shows about golf and the Golf Channel, and we find her charm to be just as convincing as her swing.

Maria Sharapova - Tennis

Maria Sharapova's name has been on everyone's lips for years. It's difficult to imagine that this incredibly skilled Russian former tennis player has been in the limelight for so long; she was only born in 1987. Although she's no longer experiencing the highs and lows of tennis competition, she is still as stunning as ever.

Sharapova is a young woman from the far-off city of Nyagan who has lived in the United States since 1994 and evolved into a five-time World No. 1 tennis player. Although having the appearance of a supermodel goddess undoubtedly helps, we believe she always looked her finest when competing on the court.

Danica Patrick - Racing

Danica Patrick, a former American race car driver, may have the appearance of a stunning cheerleader, but she's not the type of girl who will be sitting on the sidelines cheering. She made the conscious decision to take control of the steering wheel of her life, both metaphorically and physically.

Regarding making history for women, Patrick became the first and only female driver in the IndyCar Series to win a race in 2008 in the Indy Japan 300. Many regard her as the most successful female driver in American racing history, and could we also say that she's the most attractive?

Ellen Hoog - Field Hockey

Ellen Hoog, the acclaimed field hockey player, has represented the Netherlands 232 times, scoring 60 goals. She has traveled the world from the little Dutch village of Bloemendaal. The two-time Olympic gold medalist is also the undisputed prom queen in the occasionally ungraceful sport of field hockey.

Hoog, arguably the finest female athlete in the sport, has garnered attention more than once due to her attractiveness. She can rock a bikini, but she really shines when using the stick to score goals. The incredibly gifted athlete played a crucial role in the Dutch winning three European championships and two World Cups.

Ronda Rousey - Judo, Mixed Martial Arts, And Wrestling

Can one person do all of the above? It might appear so just by looking at Ronda Rousey. She's not only stunning but also incredibly talented and adaptable. Here's a girl who could get into a bar brawl with several men and easily walk away unscathed. This former judoka and retired mixed martial arts fighter is also the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion.

Rousey is a beautiful woman with a kind smile and universal appeal, despite being capable of dealing some serious damage in the ring. She's a WWE champion with exceptional fighting skills, and, as unbelievable as it may sound, she's also a famous actor and author.

Aly Raisman - Gymnastics

When Aly Raisman began her gymnastics training, she was only two. By the time she was 22, she had won three Olympic gold medals. This Massachusetts native and American athlete from Needham was destined to be a gymnast. That's not all about her, though.

The three-time Pacific Rim Championships gold medalist has achieved success outside the arena of competitive athletics in modeling, a field in which she also appears to fit easily. It's easy to see why she made a strong statement on the catwalk. Raisman is a brunette beauty with striking brown eyes, a stunning smile, and a toned physique.

Paige VanZant - Mixed Martial Arts

Some folks claim that fighting for a living puffs up the face and negatively impacts one's appearance. But not if you're so good that you seldom ever get hurt. Paige VanZant, a mixed martial arts fighter who has competed professionally for more than eight years, did just that to maintain her beauty. This model, author, and professional wrestler isn't your usual customer.

Her MMA record is outstanding, with eight victories from 13 matches, including two knockout victories. VanZant may appear as the cute girl you want to chat up at a bar, but cross her, and you may be in for a taste of what she does best.

Jennifer Lacy - Basketball

Jennifer Lacy, the daughter of former MLB player Lee Lacy, has always been active in sports. Unlike her father, she decided to pursue a basketball career, which turned out to be an intelligent choice. She joined the WNBA in 2006, and a year later, she won her first and only WNBA championship trophy.

In college, Jennifer played for the Pepperdine Waves before switching to the Phoenix Mercury as an undrafted player. A gifted forward, she received more from her father than just physical ability. As for off-court, she's a stunning woman with flawless skin and hair, easily rivaling international celebrities like the Kardashians in beauty.

Gracie Gold - Figure Skating

Figure skating is one of the sports where the United States excels. And if any woman assists America in maintaining its leadership, it's Gracie Gold. The 1995-born star isn't only stunningly attractive but incredibly gifted. She's a breath of fresh air in figure skating, often performing to top-charting tunes like "Shake It Off."

Gold combines Taylor Swift's mainstream hits with an elegance befitting of the more traditionally preferred classical music. The first American woman to win the NHK Trophy, she is also the record holder for the best short program score ever achieved by a female skater from the country.

Whitney Miller - Jiu-Jitsu

Sometimes, girls competing in beauty pageants seem so frail, don't they? Whitney Miller is an exception to the rule that many former Miss USA contestants lack punching ability. She's pursuing a black belt in jiu-jitsu, and it's pretty clear that she possesses the required upper body strength to succeed.

She's a woman you won't want to upset on your first dinner date since she possesses a unique blend of beauty and strength. Jokes aside, Miller remains one of our favorites among Miss USA ever because of her distinctive personality. Additionally, did we mention that she's also a thriving Instagram superstar?

Ali Krieger - Soccer

Ali Krieger, born in 1984 in Virginia, is a professional soccer player with many reasons to be proud of her career. She has taken to the field more than 100 times for her country, the United States, and has won the World Cup twice. When she was a member of the German team FFC Frankfurt, she also won the UEFA Women's Cup.

Krieger has shown time and time again that she's not just an incredibly fantastic athlete but also a beautiful woman. She has worked with several charitable groups, including the anti-homophobic Athlete Ally and the MiracleFeet charity that assists kids in underdeveloped nations.

Michelle Waterson - Mixed Martial Arts

There's a strong possibility Michelle Waterson is knowledgeable about every combat technique one could think of. This mixed martial artist is competent in wushu, jiu-jitsu, boxing, karate, Muay Thai, and Muay Thai. However, she also tried modeling before she joined the UFC.

Waterson, a woman well aware of her numerous gifts, seemed to have enjoyed the ring more than the catwalk. Even while fighting is, in fact, her cup of tea, she nevertheless has the appearance of one who could make a living out of modeling alone. Out of 27 fights, her stellar MMA record shows 18 wins as of June 2022.

Ana Ivanovic - Tennis

Serbia's tennis stars are something to be proud of. Ana Ivanovic is the Queen of Tennis if Novak Djokovic is the King. The stunning Belgrade native reached the top of the global rankings in 2008 and, in 2011, was named one of the "top 100 greatest players ever" by Time magazine, which includes male and female tennis players.

Ivanovic retired in 2016 because she believed her performance had fallen short of her lofty standards. She has nevertheless influenced several other players and defined a generation in tennis. Her estimated $15 million in winnings came from more than 15 WTA singles titles.

Becky Lynch - Wrestling

Becky Lynch, a three-time SmackDown Women's Champion, is one of the world's most well-known and well-paid female wrestlers. After living in Limerick, Ireland, she began wrestling on the independent regional circuits, where she frequently teamed up with her brother.

Lynch eventually arrived in the United States, the center of the wrestling universe, and on the largest platform of them all: the WWE. A devastating brain injury in 2006 jeopardized her bright career, but a few years later, she was back and better than ever. Lynch's famous for her aggressive and egotistical behavior in the ring, but her personality off the ring is inspiring and calm.

Paige Spiranac - Golf

Even if Paige Spiranac's professional athletic career was brief, it was never too late for her to start all over again in golf since she was still young and energetic. She played on the Cactus Tour in 2016 after making her women's golf debut in 2015 and won the Mountain West Conference Championship for the Aztecs.

Since then, Spiranac has prioritized her Instagram influencer career above her athletic endeavors, but has it worked well for her since she has over three million followers? In 2020, she even launched the podcast "Playing a Round with Paige Renee." Additionally, she was highlighted in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for Golf Digest.

Hope Solo - Soccer

Even though Hope Solo wasn't scoring goals, she still significantly influenced the game. That's a goalkeeper's path in life, and the stunning star could be the finest female goalie ever to play the position. When playing, she ensured that she had all the wins in her role, including two gold medals at the Olympics and a World Cup.

Although she's retired, Solo may proudly claim that she holds the record for most international appearances among all soccer players, men included. She participated in nearly 200 matches for the U.S. national team but still found time to look impeccable at red carpet events.

Camila Giorgi - Tennis

Camila Giorgi is a stunning example of how well-versed Italians are in striking a pose. Perhaps it's the mouth-watering local pizza, aromatic coffee, or the country's breathtaking beauty. But she also has some fantastic tennis playing skills, which only add to her charm.

Giorgi has been working hard in the gym since she was five years old, and as a reward, she has beaten tennis greats like Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova. Her winnings are estimated to be close to $3.7 million, thanks to her exceptional athletic abilities. The star is well-known for her dominating victories at the 2013 US Open, Eastbourne International, and Indian Wells Open.

Robin Bone - Pole Vaulting

Unfortunately, Canadian pole vaulter Robin Bone always wears a black helmet when competing due to an injury she sustained in March 2021. But don't be depressed for her just yet; even when she's not leaping into the air, you may still gaze upon her stunning blue eyes.

Undoubtedly, Bone is a fit female athlete and a promising one at that in her profession. Previously, she had already participated in the Olympics at the age of 26, and she had had massive success. Not only is her phenomenal sporting talent evident, but Bone's charismatic face has also helped put pole vaulting on the world map.

However, Natalie Gulbis, an American professional golfer, disproves every golf cliché. She was a natural-born golfer who played in her first competition at the age of seven. She has seen success on the turf since that time.

Gulbis is not only incredibly skilled with the ball, but she also looks terrific striking it. She has four professional victories and about $4 million in cash prizes.

Since Sesselmann made her debut with the Purdue Boilermakers, she has played for the university's collegiate athletic team. She still has the same girl-next-door appeal and gorgeous blue eyes, though. You won't want to be competing against this skilled defender and vocal tackler, no matter how calm she appears off the field. In 2017, she was honored by Canadian Soccer, along with other bronze medalists.

Allison Stokke - Pole Vaulting

Allison Stokke's only goal in high school was to become the best pole vaulter in the world. However, she also became a female icon while at it and broke several high school records. Stokke didn't seek the spotlight, but she has long been a sensation on the Internet thanks to her fantastic appearance.
