This article features some of the greatest female athletes around the globe. Simone Biles, who was the most decorated Olympic female athlete, and Katie Ledecky (who is the world's greatest swimmer), are just a few of the many examples. Danica Sue Patrick, one of the best surfers on the planet, will be also discussed. Last, but not the least, we will discuss Maya Moore the most decorated female athlete within the WNBA.
Simone Biles is the most decorated Olympic female athlete in 2016.
Simone Biles is hoping to add the Yurchenko Double Pike to her vault routine after she has won the gymnastics gold medal. This amazing skill involves sprinting down the runway, pushing off a table upside down, and landing one foot. She has already landed two and half flips, and she is now ready to attempt the Yurchenko double Pike.
Katie Ledecky has been named the best female swimmer worldwide
Katie Ledecky is a great choice if you are looking for a woman who will follow her lead in swimming. The 19-year old from Bethesda in Maryland has accomplished incredible feats in the pool. She's won two gold and two silver medals at the Olympics. Does that mean she is disappointed? She's been awarded gold and silver but she hasn't broken any world records.
Danica Sue Patrick has been called the "most beautiful surfer" in the entire world.
Danica Patrick became famous and began volunteering for charity. She is a member of the IMG talent agency and the Excel Sports Management. Danica Patrick is an active health-conscious person who has partnered up with Williams Sonoma in order to raise awareness about chronic obstructive lung disease. She has been a model and swimwear collaborator for Nike. Despite her fame, she is modest about her history and continues to work hard to improve her physical abilities.
Maya Moore is the most decorated female WNBA athlete
Maya Moore, the Minnesota Lynx's rookie season coach, led the team in achieving a 10-0 record which was equal to their previous season. Moore led the Lynx, for the second time in as many years to a WNBA Title and a sweep to the WNBA Finals. Moore averaged 19.3 per game and was named Finals MVP. The Minnesota Lynx finished with a new franchise record of 28-6 and a double-bye into the semi-finals, as Moore was selected as the league's Most Valuable Player.
Nadia Comaneci excelled in athletics
Comaneci had been considered an outcast while competing in athletics because of her lackluster political ideology. Romanian, Comaneci was 14 years old at the time she won the perfect 10, in Montreal's 1976 Olympics. She has won three gold medals in track and field since then. Comaneci wasn't just an athlete legend; she was also a propaganda bullet for the Romanian government.
Billie Jean King was a tennis superstar
American tennis player Billie Jean King has won 39 major titles over her career. This includes 12 singles titles as well 16 women's doubles titles and 11 mixed doubles championships. King was part of the United States women's tennis team for seven Federation Cups and nine Wightman Cups. She is remembered for being the first female grand-slam champion.
Serena Williams does not appear on this list
Serena Williams would be at the top of the list of female athletes famous for her achievements. However, the list was created in 2000 and Serena had only won one grand slam. Serena Williams, at the time, was still learning as a player. She has won more Grand Slams than twenty times in the intervening years and is still a popular female athlete around the globe.
