This professional snowboarder made history in 2018 when, at the Winter Games in South Korea, she became the first woman to win two gold medals in snowboarding and the youngest woman to win a gold in the sport at the Games, period. She is currently a four-time X Games gold medalist and holds the titles of halfpipe World Champion, Olympic Champion, and X Games Champion. Phew!
In 2018, she was honored with several ESPY awards, including that for Best Female Athlete. In 2019 she announced that she was putting her snowboarding career on pause to head to Princeton University. Amazing!
Michelle Waterson
The “Karate Hottie” is known for looking amazing while simultaneously destroying her opponent in a match. She’s got over one million followers on her Instagram account, where she frequently posts pictures posing in bikinis, along with pictures of her family and daily life. Waterson is married to former Armed Forces boxer Joshua Gomez, with whom she has a daughter.
During the 2013-2014 season, she was the world’s #1 women’s atomweight fighter. In 2016, there was a documentary made about her called "Fight Mom." She has appeared on a few other shows as well, including "American Ninja Warrior" and "Bully Beatdown."
Kayla McBride
Kayla McBride always loved playing basketball, but you don't get into the WNBA just because you love it. She started to get really serious about it during high school, where she was named the District 10 Player of the Year in 2009 and 2010.
She played all through college at Notre Dame as well and was drafted into the WNBA in 2014 when she was placed on the San Antonio Stars. But it wasn’t just her playing ability that got her noticed; it was her awesome smile, as well. In 2018, she signed with the Las Vegas Aces and moved to Nevada.
Ronda Rousey
Ronda "Rowdy" Rousey was the first woman to ever win a medal in judo at the Olympics in 2008 and then started to develop her MMA career. In 2011, she was named the UFC’s Women’s Bantamweight Champion, and several years later, she was inducted into their Hall of Fame. How could she not be, though? Considering she is pretty much the face of Women’s UFC.
As if being a judo and MMA champion wasn’t enough, she decided to launch a pro wrestling career with the WWE in 2018, where she, of course, became the Raw Women’s Champion. She’s also dabbled in some acting, like her role as Kara in "Furious 7."
Winifer Fernandez
Winifer is a talented volleyball player that hails from the Dominican Republic. In 2010, she won several awards at the NORCECA U20 Championship, including Best Digger and Receiver. Two years later, she won the gold medal at the same event, along with the award for Most Valuable Player. So yeah, she knows what she's doing.
But that wasn’t her only gold medal that year because she won another at the U23 Pan-American Cup. Then, in 2016 and 2017, she won two more, including one from the Bolivarian Games. She is one of the most searched-for female athletes on the internet to this day.
