Inspired by USA’s loss to Japan, here are the top 5 hottest female athletes.

5. Hope Solo
I’m pretty sure not many people have heard of her before this world cup but I still think she deserves the publicity. Is she one of the best female goaltenders? Who cares. At 29, she has a pretty face and is 100% marketable. She’s certainly better than Abby Wambach who is their best player. I probably wouldn’t have included her in this list if she wasn’t current but here she is anyway.

4. Natalie Gulbis
She’s rumored to be dating Dustin Johnson but don’t hold me to that. She deserves bonus points for being a female golfer. Female golfers have the reputation for being butch, lesbians, and way too strong for their own good. Natalie obviously is just plain hot. I found her spreads in FHM where she’s wearing a bikini less attractive than the two pics I picked. That back arching picture is unreal by the way.

3. Allison Stokke
I don’t really have much information about her other than she’s a pole vaulter for the Univ of California. It seems like she’s above average but not the cream of the crop usually placing 8th -15th in meets. I don’t really think I need to do much explaining why she is making this list.

2. Bia and Branca Feres
I’ve been following this sport for a while now and I’d say it’s pretty unbelievable. The grace, elegance and athletic ability are sensational for this sport. What sport am I referring to? Synchronized swimming of course and these two hotties are showing us why the popularity is growing. I’m not even sure if they air this sport but why the heck not.

Leryn Franco
She is a 28 year old Paraguayan model and athlete (better known for her modeling). She was 42 out of 45 in the Athens Olympics competing in the Javelin. Even though she’s the Anna Kournikova of Javelin, I’m pretty sure she’ll be OK.

Some notables off the list are Anna Kournikova, Maria Sharapova, Jennie Finch, Heather Mitts, Ashley Force,
