> [@Baron\_Greenback](#): > > Indeed. Doesn’t have Jess Ennis in the list, for a start, and she’s actually at the top of her sport. Step away from the keyboard Baron, she is mine. She does genuinely seem to be a lovely person as well. Part of the attraction is that she is a tiny wee dot of a thing but with this phenomenal athletic talent. She could throw me further than I could throw her shot-put.

That’s a decent list. The third one is a terrible choice - she’s extremely manish. People nominating Serena need to be prohibited from voting on this matter - there’s something wrong with their hot-o-meter. There is absolutely nothing feminine about Serena. Alison Stokke should be on every one of these lists, despite her reluctance to be known as the hottest female athlete ever. This Jess Ennis person is also a most welcome addition to my hot female vocabulary - she’s delightful! I also wonder at the lack of Korean figure skaters. > [@](#): > > Most assuredly this.

Yeah, she looks almost like a tiger… Like all the pieces fit together perfectly to form a whole that’s optimized for what she does. Including, to judge from the look on her face, her personality. ---

> [@Superhal](#): > > Any body who thinks Anna Kournakouva is hotter than Maria Sharapova instantly loses all credibility. It depends on how you define “hot”, and that’s a pretty personal definition. Kournikova is a “cute” hot. While I agree that Sharapova is a stunningly beautiful woman, she’s “hot” in a more typical, cover-of-Vogue way. Me, I have a soft spot for gymnasts and figure skaters, particularly [Svetlana Boginskaya](http://svetlana.in/svetlana-boginskaya/) and [Nicole Bobek](http://www.hollywoodcelebgossips.com/2009/07/06/nicole-bobek-drug-charge-nicole-bobek-methamphetamine-ring/nicole-bobek-drug-charge/), though from what I’ve seen, time and bad habits haven’t been good to Bobek. Both of them are from some years back, though, and I’m afraid I’m not really up on current gymnasts and skaters. ---

Maybe I’m odd, but I like women athletes who look like, well, athletes. I’d take [Brandi Chastain](http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/07X1esQgAldjo/340x.jpg) over pretty much any fashion model or actress. ---

Eh, is there any indication the _current_ star of the show can act? She can’t be much worse. And **runner pat** , she looks far more the part than a 6-foot bimbo would.
