Winifer is a talented volleyball player that hails from the Dominican Republic. In 2010, she won several awards at the NORCECA U20 Championship, including Best Digger and Receiver. Two years later, she won the gold medal at the same event, along with the award for Most Valuable Player. So yeah, she knows what she’s doing.
But that wasn’t her only gold medal that year because she won another at the U23 Pan-American Cup. Then, in 2016 and 2017, she won two more, including one from the Bolivarian Games. She is one of the most searched-for female athletes on the internet to this day.
Gracie Gold
Gracie Gold, who was born as Grace, holds up to her name on the ice. She’s got several medals under her belt, including an Olympic team bronze from 2014 and the NHK trophy that same year – making her the 1st and only American woman to ever win it.
Even though she’s openly dealt with some personal struggles with depression and anxiety, she’s still going strong and continues to do what she loves. She will be competing in the Eastern Sectional Championships in 2020. She’s had plenty of brand endorsements, such as being named the face of Cover Girl in 2013.
Stephanie Rice
The former pro swimmer from Australia found herself swimming in gold medals at the end of her career. In fact, she won three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics alone. She officially retired from the sport in 2014 but went into coaching so that she could still be a part of it.
Like many of the other women on this list, she appeared on "Celebrity Apprentice" on the 3rd season of Australia’s version of the show. Nowadays, the gold medalist resides in sunny Los Angeles. However, she is reportedly set to open up a swimming academy in India to help future Olympians win some medals of their own at the 2024 Games.
Ronda Rousey
Ronda "Rowdy" Rousey was the first woman to ever win a medal in judo at the Olympics in 2008 and then started to develop her MMA career. In 2011, she was named the UFC’s Women’s Bantamweight Champion, and several years later, she was inducted into their Hall of Fame. How could she not be, though? Considering she is pretty much the face of Women’s UFC.
As if being a judo and MMA champion wasn’t enough, she decided to launch a pro wrestling career with the WWE in 2018, where she, of course, became the Raw Women’s Champion. She’s also dabbled in some acting, like her role as Kara in "Furious 7."
Chloe Kim
This professional snowboarder made history in 2018 when, at the Winter Games in South Korea, she became the first woman to win two gold medals in snowboarding and the youngest woman to win a gold in the sport at the Games, period. She is currently a four-time X Games gold medalist and holds the titles of halfpipe World Champion, Olympic Champion, and X Games Champion. Phew!
In 2018, she was honored with several ESPY awards, including that for Best Female Athlete. In 2019 she announced that she was putting her snowboarding career on pause to head to Princeton University. Amazing!
