Highly ambitious and extremely successful, meet the beautiful surfer Sally Fitzgibbons. She could easily pass as an actress for a live-action version of “The Little Mermaid,” especially when you consider that she spends most of her time in the ocean. Fitzgibbons was ranked as the number one best female surfer after winning the legendary annual Rio Pro event.
The talented surfer has made over a million dollars in winnings since her debut as a professional surfer in 2006, showing us that riding waves on the beach isn’t only for bums. Before becoming a surfer, Fitzgibbons was a successful athlete and was the national championship in Australia for middle-distance running. Her Instagram page has hundreds of thousands of followers and shows various beautiful photos of her from the beach and ocean.
Hilary Knight
If you saw Hilary Knight out of context, 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.
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. Here, she poses in a minimalistic white dress at the ESPY Award show.
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."

At 6 feet 8 inches, Griner is a formidable presence. She is a 6-time WNBA All-Star and a 2-time WNBA scoring champ. Perhaps even more impressive, she won an endorsement from Nike as the company’s first openly gay athlete. On the red carpet, she looks to Ellen DeGeneres for styles, emulating the talk show host’s signature chic suits.
Bethany Hamilton
Hawaiian Surfer Bethany Hamilton walked the red carpet for her very own film premiere. But in lieu of the standard crimson carpet, a special blue stripe was installed to showcase the release of the surfer’s documentary film, “Unstoppable.”
Her story is astounding. Professional surfer Hamilton survived a shark attack in 2003, but her left arm did not. The 14-foot tiger shark bit it off completely. The tragedy did not stop her from surfing. She got back on the board one month later and returned to professional surfing competitions within a year.
Troy Mullins
Golfer Troy Mullins is a World Long Drive champion. Known as the “Trojan Goddess,” she won the 2017 World Long Drive Mile High Showdown. Long Drive competitions are, as she explains it, “The home run derby of golf.” At Cornell University, she was a track and field heptathlete in hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put, and javelin.
She picked up golf in 2008 after a hamstring injury precluded competing in track and field events. While you won’t see her running the track, she has been spotted walking the red carpet. She looked particularly smashing at the 2018 ESPN’s ESPY Awards.
Christen Press
You’ll look no further than Christen Press’s Instagram page to see her, as she says, “Rocking the red carpet!” Donned in a ravishing black dress, she looks her best.

Megan Rapinoe

Allison Stokke
Pole vaulter Allison Stokke has been setting records vaulting herself over the bar since high school. The track and field star did not qualify for the 2012 U.S. Olympics, but she continued to vault professionally.
Missing the Olympics, she became a sportswear model. Photographed by major brands like Nike, her vaulting shots were captivating. Not all the attention was embraced; she unwillingly became an "it girl." But as a sports model, she is right at home on the red carpet.
Petra Kvitova
Petra Kvitova has been a professional tennis player since 2006. The 6-foot-tall contender from the Czech Republic won the Wimbledon championship in 2011 and 2014. She has clinched 28 titles; two of them were Grand Slam titles.

Sydelle Noel
Sydelle Noel is no stranger to the red carpet. As an athlete, she glowed, but as Cherry “Junkchain” Bang on Netflix series “GLOW,” that is where she became known. She’s also known for her performances on “Black Panther” and “Arrow.”

Wambach found herself on the red carpet at the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards, at the 2013 ESPY Awards, and at the Salute to Women in Sports Gala in New York City.
Tori Bowie
There aren't a lot of popular female track and field athletes, which is why Tori Bowie is such a unique competitor. She has garnered much media attention after winning three Olympic medals in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro games, with a gold medal for the 4x100 meter relay. She holds a personal best of 10.78 seconds for the 100-meter dash, among many other incredible stats.
It was clear to everyone from the start that Tori Bowie would be a fantastic track & field athlete, as she had already won two high school championships when she was just a kid. She can be seen here on the red carpet wearing a beautiful dress with some of the unique patterns we’ve ever seen.
Chloe Kim
Although she might look like your typical Nickelodeon star, Chloe Kim is actually one of the world’s most successful female snowboarders. She’s been a successful athlete right from the start and launched herself into a successful snowboarding career from a very young age. Kim recently won a gold medal for the United States in the half-pipe run of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Despite being too young to drink, Chloe Kim has already managed to accumulate four gold medals. Outside of snowboarding, Kim is a popular and beloved figure. She’s so popular and iconic that a barbie doll was created to look like her. The accomplished athlete is currently taking a break from the sport and focusing her efforts on studying at the prestigious Princeton University.
Maria Sharapova
One of the most recognizable women on our list is the beautiful Russian athlete Maria Sharapova. She’s truly a prodigy in sports and began competing in professional tennis at the young age of 14. If there’s ever a woman who justifies the stereotype of the focused, dedicated, and obsessively hard-working Russian athlete, it would definitely be Sharapova.
Maria Sharapova isn’t just an accomplished pro tennis player who has won five Grand Slam singles and an Olympic silver medal. That’s just the start for her. She’s also a highly successful business owner and runs her own premium candy and chocolate line, called Sugarpova. We expect only the best of things from this Russian beauty, and it looks like she’s going to deliver on just that.
Lindsey Vonn
Anyone who’s a fan of the Olympic Winter Games will immediately recognize the beautiful Lindsey Vonn. She’s a three-time Olympic medalist in the tough sport of downhill skiing and has a total of four World Cup championships to her name. The young athlete is extremely dedicated and focused, which is evidently clear by her piercing gaze, fit physique, and a look that says, “I’m here for business.”
Lindsey Vonn retired in 2019, wrapping up one of the best skiing careers in the sport’s history. Her next ventures are unclear at this point, although with her talent and dedication, there’s really no limit to what she might accomplish.
Laila Ali
Most people don't know that the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, widely known as the best boxer of all time, had a beautiful daughter named Laila Ali. What even fewer people know is that by the young age of eighteen, she had already debuted as a talented and tough boxer. Just like her father, Ali has shown great skills in the ring and has been undefeated for her entire eight years of boxing.
Although she has already retired from the sport, many consider her to be one of (if not) the best female boxers in history. In addition to her father's charm, skills, and grace, she also managed to grow up into an utterly stunning woman. Laila Ali can be seen here on the red carpet flaunting her incredible physique, smile, and flowing hair.
Ashley Wagner
You might remember Ashley Wagner as the accomplished and talented American figure skater from the 2014 Olympics, where she brought home three Bronze medals. Wagner began practicing the sport at age five and decided from a young age to commit to figure-skating instead of her other passion, ballet.
As a serious and highly competitive woman, Ashley Wagner claimed that she “wasn’t going to do anything in pink shoes.” She has given many incredible contributions to the figure skating world throughout her career and even went on to win a silver World medal in 2016. The accomplished figure skater is fired up and training to get a serious win in the next Olympics, and everyone’s rooting for her to do just that.
Suzanne Schulting
Suzanne Schulting is the first short-track speed skater to win an Olympic gold medal for the Netherlands. She's also the youngest Dutch skater to ever win a Winter Olympic championship. She began training in short-track speed skating at the young age of eight, and by 2016 she had won her first big tournament at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Sofia.
This young beauty is pictured during her first time hitting the red carpet. Suzanne Schulting has a lot more in her, so we’re likely to see a lot more from her as she gets older and more successful. We’re excited about her future tournaments because it seems that for her, the accomplishments and record-breaking performances are only getting started.
Jennie Finch
This blonde stunner could have easily been a model if she wanted, but instead, she chose to become a highly successful softball pitcher. Jennie Finch retired as an athlete after winning a gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympic games and a silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. She was named by the NCAA Division as the second greatest college softball player and is a USA Softball Hall of Fame inductee.
Nowadays, the athlete chooses to focus on her family. Finch claims she has never regretted the many days she spent on her career rather than her family but has decided that it's time to focus on the latter. In 2005, she married popular MLB pitcher Casey Daigle, and the two have two sons and a daughter named Ace Shane, Diesel Dean, and Paisley Faye. The beautiful blonde turned down many offers from Playboy, claiming that she would like to be a role model for young women instead.
Nastia Liukin
A Russian beauty that made huge headlines as a United States Olympian representative is the gorgeous Nastia Liukin. This former artistic gymnast was the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics all-around champion and won five Olympic medals throughout her career.

Nastia Liukin's success led her to appear in various shows and films, including many talk shows. She has been on many TV interviews with the likes of Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and Oprah Winfrey and has expressed a strong desire to become an actress. You can spot Liukin in various reality shows, from "The Price is Right" to "American Ninja Warrior." In 2015, she released an autobiography titled “Finding My Shine.”
Katie Ledecky
This American swimmer has been a prodigy of the sport from the time she was just a teenager. By age 15, she was already an Olympic gold medalist after winning the women’s 800-meter freestyle at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. This just made her appetite for success grow even more, and she has definitely delivered since.
When you look at her physique and hear just how hard she trains, it’s immediately clear that short of owning gills and fins, Katie Ledecky was born for swimming. She has accumulated dozens of medals throughout her career and broke not one or two but 14 different world records. It looks like nothing is going to stop this young woman from swimming towards her goals.
Paige Spiranac
You'd be quite right to think that Paige Spiranac should be a model. This stunning athlete and social media personality has achieved many things throughout her career. She has a social media following of over 3 million followers on Instagram and has been a professional golfer since 2015. Despite not being the world's best golfer, she seems to have found the perfect balance between golfing and modeling on her Instagram page.
Spiranac aspires to one day compete in the Olympics, although it seems that her record isn't quite there yet. Still, she's extremely successful in her unique niche and will likely continue to become vastly more popular and accomplished as her career matures.
Misty May-Treanor
Retired American pro beach volleyball player, Misty May-Treanor, is quite the achiever when it comes to her sport. She won three Olympic gold medals throughout her career. The first in 2004 Athens, the second in 2008 Beijing, and the third and last in 2012 London. She retired from competitive play in mid-2012 and was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2016.

She reigned six times as the WWE women's champion and helped put females at the forefront of some WWE nights.

She appears in the popular WWE franchise video games, WWE 2K17, 2K18, and 2K19.

She was pictured above at the WWE’s 2016 company event in Germany.
Sally Fitzgibbons
Highly ambitious and extremely successful, meet the beautiful surfer Sally Fitzgibbons.

The talented surfer has made over a million dollars in winnings since her debut as a professional surfer in 2006, showing us that riding waves on the beach isn't only for bums.

Her Instagram page has hundreds of thousands of followers and shows various beautiful photos of her from the beach and ocean.
Angela Ruch
Angela Ruch is one of the most beloved and talked about NASCAR racers in the world. In late 2010, she and her twin sister, Amber Cope, made history when they became the world's first twins to compete in the sport's top three series.

The accomplished NASCAR driver has since released her foot from the gas pedal and mellowed down in recent years.
Angela Ruch currently competes part-time in NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, driving a Chevy Silverado as her race truck. Ruch comes from a racing family, with her grandfather becoming a race driver in 1955 and her father debuting in the same sport by 1977. This means she's officially the third generation of race drivers in her family, which is quite a remarkable accomplishment.

The Irish wrestler began working for the WWE in 2013 and has since become their first-ever SmackDown Women's Champion back in 2016.
Most fans of Becky Lynch don’t know that she also has a college degree in acting and even did stunts for films and television. She has recently attended an MTV event wearing high heels and a beautiful black outfit that showed just how in shape she is. Lynch was holding her beloved WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship belt as she was posing for the cameras.
Urszula Radwanska
They say that Polish people are quite tough, but this one is also extremely beautiful. Meet Urszula Radwanska, a highly accomplished tennis player who reached 29th place in the worldwide rankings.

Outside of the tennis court, Urszula Radwanska is also a savvy businesswoman and owns her own brand of luxury handbags, which she is seen holding in the picture. This talented tennis player earned millions of dollars during her career and can definitely dress the part when she’s called to the red carpet.
Ibtihaj Muhammad
Ibtihaj Muhammad has managed to make sabre fencing into an interesting sport after becoming the first Muslim American woman to wear a hijab while competing in the Olympics. She ended up winning a bronze medal in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro games after being defeated in the second round. A barbie was designed in her likeness and was unveiled at Glamour's 2017 Women of the Year Awards.
Ibtihaj Muhammad grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey, and was the third child of five. She has a dual bachelor's degree in international relations and African-American studies. Ibtihaj Muhammad wrote two versions of her autobiographical novel, Proud: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream — one for adults and one for young children.
Simone Biles
You might be fooled by Simone Biles' arms into thinking she's a bodybuilder, but this gymnast is actually one of the all-time greatest. Simone Biles is known for having the most all-around World titles out of any female athlete. She's also the most accomplished gymnast in the world, both in the men's and women's divisions. With more gold medals than we can count, this beauty is an absolute legend.
Outside of being one of the world’s most accomplished athletes, Simone Biles has also dominated the popular dancing show "Dancing with the Stars" and finished in fourth place back in 2017.

Claressa Shields was the subject of a 2015 documentary called "T-Rex: Her Fight For Gold," which details her amazing life story and how she became the first woman in history to win a gold medal in Olympic boxing.
Gina Carano
The tough and beautiful Gina Carano is one of those women that you don't want to mess with. She started out in Muay Thai before transitioning into MMA, where she quickly became the face of the sport. Carano went on to gain a successful record of 12 Muay Thai wins, and 7 MMA wins, with only two losses in her career. She transitioned from MMA into acting in 2008 and appeared in various successful films, including "Haywire," "Fast & Furious 6", "Deadpool," and even the Disney Star Wars series, "The Mandalorian."
There’s absolutely no doubt that Gina Carano can beat out just about any man in the sport if she wanted to. She was born in Dallas, Texas, and actually majored in psychology before proceeding to bash people's brains for a living. We’re happy to see that Carano is doing what she loves, especially now that she took a back seat from the MMA and transitioned into a more peaceful life (where she only beats people up in films and not in real life).
Becca Longo
You may recognize Becca Longo's face, as she was massively celebrated by the mainstream media as the first female to ever earn a college football scholarship to an NCAA school. Her career began in 2019 when she joined the Gila River Hawks team. We still don't know where her career would end up, but now is the defining time for her to establish herself as a dominant football player.

She’s the brake woman of America’s national bobsled team, an extremely dangerous sport that is reserved only for the truly brave and ambitious. Nothing is going to stop this woman from winning. Jones later proved this fact by taking home a gold medal in the 2013 World Championships’ mixed team event.
She’s a highly accomplished bobsledder and is one of the only athletes to compete in both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games. Lolo Jones holds the US record for fastest 60-meter hurdles, at just 7.72 seconds. It looks like nobody’s going to beat this incredible beauty anytime soon. With a tough personality like hers, we bet she takes cold showers as a fun way to start her day.

Ellen Hoog
If you're looking for the toughest woman in the world, Ellen Hoog is probably somewhere near the top.
