Ashlyn Michelle Harris is a pro-soccer player for the Orlando Pride of the NWSL, the highest division of women’s professional soccer in the United States. She, too, was featured alongside her teammates in the EA Sports FIFA video game series, becoming one of the first women players that were included in the game.
Off the field, Harris is known for her distinguished sense of style and a large number of tattoos (obviously not visible here with the sleeves and gloves so you will just have to take our word for it) and has declared her interest in music, fashion, surfing, and skateboarding.
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.
Kaytlin Neil
Looking at her kind face you could never guess, but this woman could tear you to shreds in the blink of an eye. MMA Fighter Kaytlin Neil, better known by the name of Katniss (yup, like the one from the "Hunger Games" franchise), developed a passion for the sport early on.
She began competing professionally in 2013, making her debut appearance in the Showdown Fights event. Neil is known for her Muay Thai style and competes in the Flyweight division. The MMA fighter has become popular on Instagram, posting fitness-related content to her page, and sharing training images and behind-the-scenes fights with her 70k followers.
Petra Kvitová
Czech tennis pro, Petra Kvitová, is the first player born after 1990 to have won one of the major tennis tournaments. Kvitová won Wimbledon twice, and, as of 2020, she is ranked eighth on the pro list.
Since turning pro in 2006, Kvitová has raked in $31 million in winnings. Kvitová was listed as the world's sixth highest-paid female athlete by "Forbes" in 2015. With half a million followers on Instagram, she is sure to keep her feed updated with inside photos of her home and everyday life. So let us get this straight: beautiful face, talent, AND money? Looks like some people actually can have it all.
Mikaela Shiffrin
The winter Olympics doesn't usually enjoy the same viewership as its summer counterpart, but we feel like things look a little different when this woman is scheduled to compete. Skier Mikaela Shiffrin took two gold medals and a silver medal in the 2014 Sochi and 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic games. Shiffrin's smile is contagious, and along with her extreme talents, she's become a fan favorite.
Some may see Shiffrin as a predecessor to Lindsey Vonn, but Shiffrin proves them wrong, showing the world that she has her own legacy to leave behind. In March 2019, she was the first alpine skier to land 15 World Cup wins, so it seems that fans haven’t yet seen all that Shiffrin can accomplish.
