Simone Biles was the most decorated woman athlete at the 2016 Olympics
Simone Biles is hoping to add the Yurchenko Double Pike to her vault routine after she has won the gymnastics gold medal. This skill requires you to sprint down a runway, push off a table while upside-down, and then land on one foot. She has landed two-and-a-half flips and is now on her path to the Yurchenko double Pike, which will be added in the vault lineup.
Katie Ledecky is the greatest female swimmer in the world
If you're looking for a woman to follow in her footsteps in swimming, Katie Ledecky is the girl to watch. The 19-yearold Bethesda girl has performed incredible feats on the water. She won two gold medals and two bronze at the Olympics. Is that a sign she is disappointed? Although she has won gold and silver, she still hasn’t broken the record.
Danica Sue Patrick, the most beautiful surfer of all time, is Danica Sue Patrick
Danica Patrick was famous after she started participating in charity activities. She is a member the Excel Sports Management and the IMG talent agency. Danica Patrick is a health conscious person and has partnered with Williams Sonoma to raise awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She has also become a model for Nike and has participated in swimwear collaborations. Despite her fame and fortune, she remains humble about her background and still works to improve her physical skills.
Maya Moore is WNBA's most decorated female athlete
Maya Moore led her team to a 10-0 record in their first season. This was the same record as the previous season. Moore then helped the Lynx to a WNBA title, their second in as many years, and to a sweep of the WNBA Finals. Moore was named the Finals MVP that year, as she averaged 19.3 points per game. Moore was chosen as the league's most valuable player and the Minnesota Lynx ended the season with a record 28-6.
Nadia Comaneci excelled at athletics
Comaneci competed in athletics and was considered an outcast due to her lack of political ideologies. Romanian, Comaneci was 14 years old at the time she won the perfect 10, in Montreal's 1976 Olympics. She has won three gold medals in track and field since then. But Comaneci was not only an athletic legend, she was also a propaganda silver bullet for the Romanian regime.
Billie Jean King was a tennis star
American tennis player Billie Jean King earned 39 major titles throughout her career. She won 12 singles titles (16 women's doubles) and 11 mixed doubles (11 mixed doubles) titles. King was part of the United States women's tennis team for seven Federation Cups and nine Wightman Cups. One of her most famous feats was becoming the first female grand slam champion, which is still a record.
Serena Williams is not on the list
Serena Williams would definitely be on the list for the greatest female athletes if she was. Although Serena Williams was not a winner of a grand-slam, she was on the 2000 list. Serena Williams, at the time, was still learning as a player. She has won more Grand Slams than twenty times in the intervening years and is still a popular female athlete around the globe.
