Julie is a member of the US women’s soccer team and plays defender for the Chicago Red Stars. Ertz made FIFA history when she was featured along with her national teammates in the FIFA 16 video game. The history-making doesn’t end there, as she and the team were also the first women’s team to bo honored with a ticker-tape parade in NYC.
It was the first time women players were included in the game and has been included in every EA Sports title since. In 2016, Ertz became engaged to Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, and the couple married a year later. They now have a child together — a son named Madden Matthew Ertz.
Voula Papachristou
The gorgeous Greek triple jumper and long jumper was sure to make our list of beautiful athletes. Sure, the expression on her face in this picture is not a good example, but you can see what we're talking about. Also, you try looking attractive while pushing your body to its limit and then some. Yeah, thought so.
Papachristou represented Greece at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics. Unfortunately, she was removed from the Greek team for the 2012 Olympics after making an insensitive comment online a year earlier. That being said, she participated in the 2016 Summer Olympics final in Rio de Janeiro, taking 8th place.
Nichelle Prince
With a Jamaican father and an American mother, it's surprising that Nichelle would grow up in Canada, of all places. The Canadian soccer player currently plays for the Houston Dash and the Canadian national team. Apart from her born talent in the field, Prince enjoys writing, reading, and doing yoga in her free time, which no doubt helps her performance on the field as well.
Though she has built herself a solid fanbase, she is still somewhat of a fangirl herself. Some of her favorites are soccer player Lionel Messi and hurdlers Priscilla Lopes-Schliep and Perdita Felicien, who are also fellow Canadians.
Elena Delle Donne
Standing at 6 ft 5 in, the more of Elena, the merrier. Elena Delle Donne is a pro-basketball player with the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. In 2016, Delle Donne announced her engagement to girlfriend Amanda Clifton in an issue of "Vogue," and in 2017, the couple was married.
Since her WNBA draft, the star has signed multiple endorsement deals with various companies. She's made deals with Nike and DuPont. Delle Donne is also one of three WNBA players to have career icons in NBA Live 19. Other than playing basketball, this woman has a great passion for helping the disabled and has been a Special Olympics Global Ambassador since 2014.
Silje Norendal
If it wasn't for the sports gear, the medal in her hand, and the sponsorship logos in the background, we would have thought we were looking at a model working on set. Silje Norendal is a Norwegian snowboarder. Starting her career young, she has accomplished a lot.
She won gold at the Winter X Games Europe in Tignes in 2013, and the following year won the same title at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. In the 2018 Winter Olympics, Noredal finished in fourth place with a score of 78.75. It seems like this beautiful snowboarder found love on ice, getting engaged to hockey player Alexander Bonsaksen in 2018.
