Whether you love Kim Kardashian or hate here there is no denying that she is one beautiful woman. In fact, the whole Kardashian gang is comprised of attractive people. Perhaps due to Kim’s fame many people assume that she is the golden standard for ‘sexy’ that all women must aspire to. While we won’t deny her beauty, we think that the following female athletes simply BLOW Kim Kardashian out of the water.
Gina Carano
Now, it’s almost unfair to start our list with Gina Carano. Carano is a former MMA fighter who has turned into one of the bigger action stars in Hollywood. Carano kickstarts our list thanks to her buttkicking bod and gorgeous face, despite letting it get punched for a living. Carano went 19 – 1 – 2 in her professional fighting career which spanned both Muay Thai and MMA fighting. Carano most recently starred in the hit Marvel film, Deadpool and she looked darn good doing it.
Gina Carano
Lauryn Eagle
Reality star, professional boxer, and water skiing champ — is there anything that Lauryn Eagle can’t do? Eagle is a knock out, that’s for sure, and she is currently 15 – 4 – 1 in 15 career fights.
Lauryn Eagle
Camila Giorgi
Born in Macerata, Italy Camila Giorgi went professional as an adult back in 2011. Since then Giorgi has won the hearts of viewers all over the planet. Seriously, who knew tennis could look so good?
Camila Giorgi
Hilary Knight
Hilary Knight is a hockey player who currently plays for the NWHL’s Boston Pride. While she’s got a killer slapshot we think she’s even more stunning off of the ice.
Hilary Knight
Leilani Mitchell
Mitchell was born in Richland, Washington and now she competes for the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA. Mitchell is a 2x All Star and a WNBA Most Improved Player.
Leilani Mitchell
Serena Williams
Despite being the best tennis player in the world we routinely see Serena Williams underrated. People say that Williams looks masculine but we don’t agree, she looks strong and beautiful. Williams has a banging body that has been cultivated thanks to a prestigious and enduring career in professional sports. Though Williams only stands at 5’9 she is an intimidating and beautiful figure every time she shows up on camera. Williams has 770 career wins, 71 professional titles, and more Grand Slams than we want to bother listing. So we won’t. Just look up Williams’ Sports Illustrated shoots and thank us later.
Serena Williams
Rachel Wray
No, not Rachel Ray. Rachel Wray is the second MMA fighter on our list, but certainly not the list. Wray used to be a cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL before deciding to get into the octagon instead. Wray hasn’t had a prolific professional MMA career yet but she has looked good in every sense of the word since chasing her dream. As tough as this blond brawler is, she is still cute as a button. Wray admits that she sometimes slips into her peppy cheerleader mode while in a fight.
Rachel Wray
Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey is a pretty divisive figure but that is what happens when you are the best at what you do. Rousey singlehandedly brought the female division of UFC back to the forefront of the public atmosphere. Rousey is a tough fighter with only one loss to her name — that to Holly Holm. Rousey is built to beat the heck out of her opponents but she still looks feminine and gorgeous. Rouse is a 4th degree black belt in the art of Judo.
Ronda Rousey
Michelle Jenneke
Jenneke stole her way into our hearts by smiling and warming up her during the 2012 Olympics. Jenneke is a prolific hurdler from Australia who most recently competed in the 2016 Olympic Games, placing 6th in the 100 meter hurdles. Jenneke will no doubt retain a high level of fame even if she never takes a placing in another race again.
Michelle Jenneke
Anastasia Ashley
There is something to be said for the term ‘beach babe’ and one look at Anastasia Ashley will sum it up. Anastasia Ashley is an amazing professional surfer but she doesn’t need to touch a board again to stay famous for her looks. Ashley started surfing at 5 years old and landed her first sponsor by 7 years old. Now Ashley is reeling in public attention of the positive kind for her regular posts on social media sites like Instagram. Ashley has also appeared in Maxim Magazine and on the show Hell’s Kitchen.
Anastasia Ashley
Skylar Diggins
Diggins is one of the most popular WNBA stars in the year. Skylar was drafted 3rd overall back in 2013 by the Tulsa Shocks and now she plays for the Dallas Wings. Diggins has a long, classic athletic body even though she stands at just 5’9 while weighing 145 pounds. Diggins is a natural beauty with major crossover appeal once she decides to leave basketball. Diggins is engaged to Daniel Smith, her high school sweetheart. Sorry gentlemen.
Skylar Diggins
Leryn Franco
Before you ask: No, Leryn Franco is not related to Dave Franco. This gorgeous brunette is an Olympic javelin hurler for the Paraguayan national team. We’ve never seen Franco toss a javelin and we aren’t sure that we ever will. Franco has appeared in the prestigious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue while also competing in the Miss Bikini of the Universe. Franco is now trying to work her way into other medias, namely the film world. We definitely would pay to look at her, that’s for sure.
Leryn Franco
Sally Fitzgibbons
Our second surfer makes the list and Kim Kardashian fans everywhere have to agree: they deserve it. Sally Fitzgibbons surfed professionally from 2009 to 2013 where she earned nearly half a million in cold hard cash. Now Fitzgibbons is focusing on expanding her brand by modeling and interacting with fans via social media. Fitzgibbons is a tiny, beautiful brunette who jus so happens to be able to handle some big old waves. Right now Fitzgibbons is focusing on developing a healthy living, fitness oriented mobile app but that is one area she won’t be able to beat Kim Kardashian in. If Fitzgibbons had Kim’s marketing prowess than she would be unstoppable.
Sally Fitzgibbons
Sydney Leroux
Sydney Leroux is an Olympic Gold Medalist and a forward in the National Women’s Soccer League. Leroux rose to fame thanks to her appearance on the Canadian team, competing in both 2012 and 2015. Leroux definitely has a bright future ahead of her in soccer and off of the field should she choose to really start establishing her brand. Leroux was one of the first female players ever to become playable in the FIFA series and that is a big deal. We don’t play FIFA or watch soccer but we’re definitely down to creep on her from afar.
Sydney Leroux
Winifer Fernandez
Listen, we don’t know anything about volleyball. We have no idea how to set a ball or spike it and we’re pretty sure that we’d embarrass ourselves on the court. Heck, we don’t even know if Winifer Fernandez is even that good at volleyball. Still, Fernandez is one of the most beautiful professional athletes in the world and she is an absolute magnet on the screen — you’ll never take your eyes off of her. Keep doing your thing, Winifer. We can’t stop saying Winifer by the way, it’s just so enjoyable.
Winifer Fernandez
Alex Morgan
The United States Women’s Soccer team is filled with individually beautiful women who have become famous in their own right. Ahead of them all is the passionate, talented, and beautiful Alex Morgan. Morgan mixes that ‘girl next door’ look with the kind of confident swagger that only the best of the best are allowed to carry. If Morgan were to suddenly become terrible at soccer she could still make a killing as a model.
Alex Morgan
Anna Sidorova
We are going to double down on the fact that we don’t know a whole bunch about certain sports and curling definitely makes the list. Anna Sidorova is a professional curler from Russia and, well, yes that is of course a thing. Anna Sidorova may be the hottest curler in the world but we’re pretty sure all she has to do is pose for the camera and everyone will forget that fact. Sidorova played on the Russian national team and it wasn’t too long afterwards that she became the most famous female curler in the world. We understand that this doesn’t sound impressive but it is. Sidorova scored bronze medals in women’s curling in 2015 and 2016.
Anna Sidorova
Kassidy Cook
Kassidy Cook is a professional diver and a social media guru. You can follow Kassidy Cook on Instagram (@kassidycook13) and see all of the delightful going ons of one of the most talented divers in the world. Cook is looking to compete in the 2020 games and we bet fans will show up by the tenfold in order to watch her in person. Kassidy Cook’s lovelife has become a red hot topic for debate with her most recent attachment being to that of Tom Dale, a British diver. So far she has denied all of these rumors.
Kassidy Cook
Anna Kournikova
Anna Kournikova is easily one of the prettiest women on the planet and her longstanding face of the sport action as a tennis star lands her right at the start. Kournikova even got us watching women’s tennis. Imagine that.
Anna Kournikova
Jessica Ennis
Jessica Ennis is a World Champion level trackstar who won Gold at the Doha Indoor World Championships. She’s also ripped so we definitely want to see what fitness training programs she’s been following. Seriously, look at those guns.
Jessica Ennis
Soo Yeon Lee
Who said table tennis can’t be beautiful? Well, nobody ever said that so we don’t know why we mentioned it. Still, if anyone can make this sport relevant it has to be her, right?
Soo Yeon Lee
Maria Sharapova
Anna Kournikova or Maria Sharpova? It’s a question that has kept people up at night, we’re sure. We’ll just call it a proverbial tie. Sharapova was born in Siberia and has since turned into a star, earning $36 million through her career.
Maria Sharapova
Ellen Hoog
We didn’t even know field hockey was still a thing, but we’re sure glad that it is. Ellen Hoog could offer online personal training courses in the game and we’d pay up just to watch her talk. Creep, sorry.
Ellen Hoo
Kelly Cartwright
Cartwright is as inspiring as she is beautiful. At 15 Cartwright overcame synovial sarcoma and had her leg amputated. Now she’s a gorgeous Gold Medal Paralympian.
Kelly Cartwright
Emily Batty
Are there online personal training programs for mountain biking? Canadian profesional mountain biker Emily Batty could probably teach us a thing or two.
Emily Batty

We can’t pronounce this Greek beauty’s name but we don’t need to. She’s a World Champion track star who was born in Athens.
Voula Papachristou
Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick needs no introduction. She’s the most successful female driver in the history of American racing, winning the ’08 Indy Japan 30 and being the first woman ever to do it.
Danica Patrick
Sierra Blair-Coyle
She my have model good looks but Sierra would rather scale the side of a mountain than pose for Playboy. Sierra is a mountain free climber who overcame a spinal injury to compete globally.
Sierra Blair Coyle
Whitney Miller
She’s a model and a fighter. Whitney Miller is a fitness enthusiast and a master in Jiu Jitsu. Yeah, we’d keep our distance.
Whitney Miller
Silje Norendal
What is it with female snowboarders — they just do it for us. Silje is a Gold medal snowboarder who won the women’s slopestyle at the Winter X Games back in 2013. Norendal also won the Winter X Games in 2015 while competing in Aspen.

There is something about professional surfing that lends itself well to modeling. Malia Jones was named as one of Esquire’s 10 Sexiest Athletes. We don’t disagree.
Malia Jones
Hope Solo
She’s an Olympic Gold Medalist, a World Cup Champion, and a professional soccer player for the Seattle Reign as a goalkeeper. Hope Solo is a lot of things, including very divisive.
Hope Solo
Elena Delle Donne
You know someone with three names is going to be pretty. Elena is a basketball player for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. She’s got more than a jumpshot, including a pretty smile.

Lindsey Vonn

Stephanie Rice
Sarah Backman
We’ve found a professional arm wrestler beautiful enough to make our list. Backman is an 8x World Arm Wrestling champion and a former WWE wrestler.
Sarah Backman
Alexandra Saitova
Saitova could probably single handedly make professional curling fun to watch. She’s a member of the Russian national team.
Alexandra Saitova

Blair ONeal
Melanie Adams
You probably don’t remember her name but she’s definitely hard to forget. Adams was an Olympic pole vaulter from Melbourne, Australia.
Melanie Adams
