The
Winter Olympic Games has just ended in Sochi, Russia, running from the 7th
to the 23rd of February, and it was not just the athletics that
received the attention and media coverage; but the athletes especially. This
year’s Winter Games has showcased some of the most beautiful and talented
female athletes that have stunned us with their poise and grace in their
respective areas. They don’t get to pose while they’re photographed competing and
they aren’t made-up like models either. These ladies are just simply
breathtaking.
Silje Norendal
The
20-year-old Norwegian snowboarder made her debut at the Olympics this year. The
gorgeous blue-eyed, blonde has gained much media attention and she photographs
amazingly.
Kiira Korpi
Figure
skating is one of the most graceful sports there is and this 25-year-old
Finnish girl was definitely born to do this. It has been said that she somewhat
resembles the former Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. Nevertheless, she’s
beautiful.
Yuna Kim
Another
figure skater that has caught the world’s eye is Yuna Kim from South Korea. The
youthful-looking 23-year-old has made $14 million in prize money and
sponsorships in the last 12 months and is ranked number 6 on Forbes' list of
Highest-paid Female Athletes.
Vanessa Mae
She
is a knockout. At 35, she took part in the skiing segment of the Games and was
only the third person to represent Thailand at the Games. But that’s not all;
she’s also a violinist by career. She’s the very definition of multi-talented.
Torah Bright
This
Australian snowboarding stunner, 26, was said to have taken the Australian Olympic
Committee to task after it banned the athletes’ use of social media. So, she’s
feisty too.
Alyson Dudek
The
US brought this girl-next-door beauty, Alyson Dudek, 23, to compete in short
track speed-skating, and who had also won the Bronze medal with the relay team
in the Vancouver Olympics in 2010.
Clair Bidez
Under
all those layers of snowboarding gear, who would’ve guessed that there is a
Sports Illustrated model? Although she didn’t even compete in the 2010 Olympics
due to an injury, she was scouted to pose for the magazine. And with that
sultry face it’s no wonder.
The
Summer Olympics is set to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016 and
we’re sure to see a whole new bevy of beauties emerge then!
