Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk is a Ukrainian long jumper and a name you’re going to want to remember. We aren’t sure how many long jumpers most people can name off the top of their heads, but this one should be an exception. She won the bronze medal at the 2013 European Junior Championships but that was only the beginning.
The athlete went on to win the silver medal at the 2018 European Championships. Her best jump is 6.93 meters, which she achieved in Lutsk in 2016. She has a prominent social media presence, posting both personal and professional posts for her hundreds of thousands of followers.
Elena Dementieva
Elena Dementieva is considered to be one of the best female tennis players out there and, though she may not have won a major tournament, she has still found success elsewhere. Dementieva won a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games for the women’s singles competition and earned the attention that led to endorsement deals.
The gorgeous player even has a song about her. Blue Dog and Sponge Cake, a comedic band from Colorado, wrote a song about Dementieva and Maria Sharapova, and her signature grunt was used in a Lil' Wayne song. So other than being an athlete, she is also a muse!
Garbiñe Muguruza
The beautiful and talented Garbiñe Muguruza has endorsement deals with Adidas, Babolat, Rolex, and Maui Jim, so she is pretty much set in that respect. Though Muguruza has only been competing professionally since 2012, she has defeated several players who have ranked number one in the world, including the infamous Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki, both of whom are also featured on this list.
Muguruza was also able to claim the number one ranking after she won Wimbledon in 2017. When she doesn't have a racket in her hand, she helps promote literacy and education with the nonprofit organization, Room to Read. In her free time (though we can't see how she might have any), Muguruza loves playing the guitar!
Anastasia Ashley
It seems as though this California girl was born to surf. Anastasia Ashley is an American professional surfer and model; she began surfing at age five. By the age of six, she had won a surf contest using a run-down board that she found in a trash can. At age seven, she found herself a sponsor to replace her run-down boards, and the rest is history.
In 2003 Ashley receive the Triple Crown Rookie of the Year award, and at age 16, she had already won her first major national title. She's appeared in many magazines, including the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition" in 2014.
Kosovare Asllani
Kosovare Asllani is a Swedish pro soccer player who plays for Real Madrid and Sweden's women's national team. Dubbed "Kosse," Asllani is a skilled striker, possessing great speed and unique technique in her game. If you watched the 2019 Women’s World Cup, you'd know what a vital role Asllani played in helping Sweden enter the finals.
If you check out her Instagram page (nearly 320K followers and counting), it looks like Asllani is a typical woman of her age, enjoying brunch with friends and gorgeous fashion shots. That is if you ignore the hundreds of photos of her on the field!
