most attractive people in sports

U.S. figure skater Gracie Gold conveys a kind of old school, exquisite glamor that conjures up memories of Audrey Hepburn or a young Mia Farrow.
She s a true regal beauty and the fact that she seems to pull it off so effortlessly (along with the ups and downs of olympic competition) bodes well for the future of U.S. figure skating.

Even by the standards of a sport that s defined by two piece uniforms and leggy female athletes lunging to make a save, volleyball player Kim Glass is quite the specimen.
Not surprisingly, the girl is a model, too. Not many people in this world have the opportunity to pursue two careers that share the same interest in minimizing the amount of fabric adorning your insane body.

Playing hockey in Los Angeles has to be bittersweet. On one hand, Canadian cutie Jeff Carter is living his dream, making a good living playing a game hed gladly play for free if he didnt make it professionally.
On the other hand, when you win a championship, nobody cares. Well, maybe not nobody about 150,000 fans showed up for the Kings Stanley Cup parade in 2012. The Lakers average 500,000 to two million when they win.
Lucky for Carter, hes good looking enough to cover the gap. An ugly hockey player might actually have trouble picking up girls in L.A., but this guy has never been the ugly guy anywhere. Not even in L.A.

You can t help but appreciate the purity of the Fox Sports Girls franchise a spectacle best illustrated by the Fox Sports Florida Girls.
Featuring hosts Jordana (sic) and Annilie (sic), two pretty damn hot girls who seem to legitimately love sports, they interview players and staff from the local teams, giggle, dance, bounce and jiggle through various segments aired on the regional Fox Sports affiliate.

Tennis is a sport that does more than its best to not stand in the way of a womans appeal; it enhances it. Skimpy outfits that tend to flutter around the butt region? Check. Just enough sweat to look like a scene in a beer commercial? Check. Um...grunting? Check...I guess.
The irony is that womens tennis player Ana Ivanovic doesnt need any damn help. She looks like she was created when a couple of nerds hooked a car battery and a bra up to a Commodore 64 during a thunderstorm.

If were being completely honest, the current putrid state of the Lakers was almost enough to keep Xavier Henry, their young guard out of Kansas, off this list. Kobe or no Kobe, theres something fundamentally unsettling about seeing the Lakers in the basement, looking up at the Clippers in the penthouse with more than double the wins.
The situation forced me to do some overdramatic soul searching particularly overdramatic in that Im not even a Lakers fan. In the end, though, Henrys hypnotic green eyes and inviting smile triumphed. A victory he should savor and share with his teammates because, this year, wins are few and far between.

On paper, the sport of curling suggests that even at the highest level of competition, the typical

ESPN s Michelle Beadle has always struck me as a woman whose charm and appeal is rooted in the same place that forged people like Eva Gardner. She s hard scrabble hot fiercely independent, has a sometimes dark sense of humor and finds herself at times together and at others, not so much.
People like her make guys fall hard, make friends easily and lose them just as quickly and make impulsive but not totally incomprehensible career decisions.

Considering how ridiculously adorable Hendrick Motorsports driver Kasey Kahne is, I continue to be surprised at how under the radar he seems to be. Granted, as the most casual of NASCAR fans, perhaps Im not entirely qualified to assess his overall visibility in the sport.
I am, however, plenty qualified to assess his assets, so to speak. Boyish good looks? Check. Pleasing smile? Check. The piercing blue eyes of a Siberian Husky? Check, check! Lets just say that when it comes to Kasey Kahne, Im picking up what hes putting down.

I ve said it once and I ll say it again: Man or woman, track and field athletes have some of the most smokin bodies in sports.
Sanya Richards Ross stands out from a bumper crop of U.S. women s track and field athletes that all nicely bring together hard bodies, good looks and a clear commitment to success.
What sets her apart? Whether by virtue of just being in sync with the world around her or knowing how to look great in front of a camera...she works it.
