This article features some of the greatest female athletes around the globe. From Simone Biles, the most decorated female athlete of the 2016 Olympics, to Katie Ledecky, the world's best swimmer. Danica Sue Patrick, one of the best surfers on the planet, will be also discussed. Last but not least, Maya Moore will be discussed, who is the most decorated female athlete of the WNBA.
Simone Biles is 2016's most decorated female Olympic athlete
Simone Biles has won the gold in gymnastics. Now she wants to add the Yurchenko double Pike to her vault routine. This amazing skill involves sprinting down the runway, pushing off a table upside down, and landing one foot. She is now on her way to the Yurchenko double Pike, which will be added into the vault lineup.
Katie Ledecky is the greatest female swimmer in the world
Katie Ledecky, a girl who is determined to swim like her, is the girl you should be following. The 19-year old from Bethesda in Maryland has accomplished incredible feats in the pool. At the Olympics, she won two gold and two medals. But does that mean she's disappointed? Even though she has won silver and gold, it doesn't mean that she broke the world record.
Danica Sue Patrick is considered the most beautiful surfer anywhere in the world.
Danica Patrick became famous and began volunteering for charity. She is a member IMG Talent Agency and Excel Sports Management. Danica Patrick is a health conscious person and has partnered with Williams Sonoma to raise awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She has also become a model for Nike and has participated in swimwear collaborations. Despite her wealth and fame, she still keeps her humble and works hard to improve her physical skills.
Maya Moore is the most decorated female WNBA athlete
Maya Moore led her team to a 10-0 record in their first season. This was the same record as the 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, who averaged 19.3 points per match, was the 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 was an athlete of distinction
Comaneci competed in athletics and was considered an outcast due to her lack of political ideologies. She was Romanian and was only 14 years old when she won the first perfect 10 in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. She has won three Olympic gold medals in athletics since that time. Comaneci is not only an athletic hero, but she was also a propagandist for the Romanian regime.
Billie Jean King, a tennis star, was Billie Jean King
American tennis player Billie Jean King was the winner of 39 major titles. King was part of the United States Women's Tennis Team for seven Federation Cups (and nine Wightman Cups). King is remembered for her first ever female grand slam champion. This record is still held.
Serena Williams is not on the list
If Serena Williams were on the list of famous female athletes, she would certainly be near the top. Although Serena Williams was not a winner of a grand-slam, she was on the 2000 list. Serena Williams had just begun to develop as a tennis player. She has won over twenty Grand Slams in her career and is still one of the most beloved female athletes in the world.
