10. Amy Taylor
The archetypal image of a female footballer may leave you quivering under your Subbuteo-print bedsheets, but this one’s different: she’s pretty. She’s Australian. She could kick your arse at five-a-side – she’s the perfect woman.
9. Natalie Gulbis
In such a refined and regal sport as golf, it may seem a touch vulgar to ask, but still – how does she swing the club so well with such ample breasts? It’s quite the conundrum…
8. Gretchen Bleiler
You might not guess it to look at her, but young Gretchen is the big name in female snowboarding. When she’s not tearing up half-pipes, she likes looking pretty, playing with her hair, and mini-golf. At a guess, anyway.
7. Nikki Gudex
Her name may make her sound like some kind of robotic seductress, but in reality she’s a world-class mountain biker. Her legs look long and sleek, but underneath lie pistons of steel. Our guess is she could probably beat the crap out of you too. Yes, we can tell.
6. Ana Ivanovic
We’ve loved this racket-wielding siren for quite some time now. She’s young, tough and currently number 1 in the world!
5. Amanda Beard
Despite the unappealingly masculine name, Ms Beard is in fact an American Olympic swimmer and model. She’s not shy, either: in her time she’s appeared in Sports Illustrated, Playboy and good ol’ FHM. Which is nice.
4. Biba Golic
Table tennis is cool. That’s a fact. We know this because any sport that brings us a woman as hot as Biba has to be cool. Has to be.
3. Bia and Branca Feres
There are two of them! And they’re both stunning! And they do synchronised swimming! That means bikinis – yes it does.
2. Allison Stokke
At the age of just 17, Allison was pole-vaulted (boom boom) to stardom by being, well… hot. Swiftly becoming an internet phenomenon, she’s brought a new found respect to the stick-waggling profession. And by ‘respect’ we mean ‘lust’.
1. Maria Sharapova
Maria, Maria, Maria. Classier than Kournikova, prettier than Nadal. She’s just so damn beautiful – which is why we’ve made her number one, frankly.
