Lolo Jones
Not only because of her immense talent, but also because of her exotic looks, Lolo Jones has gained public attention over the years. Jones, an American hurdler and bobsledder, won three NCAA titles and while attending Louisiana State University, won 11 All-American honors. Now 37 years old, Jones has no intention in the near future of slowing down. In addition to essentially ruling in her respective sport, Jones has also done modeling work for magazines including ESPN: The Magazine’s “The Body Issue,“ as well as the cover of Outside.
Michelle Wie
When Michelle Wie was just 10 years old, she already started playing golf. She became the youngest player to qualify for an amateur USGA championship at that point. Beyond that, Wie was also the youngest U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links winner and the youngest to qualify for an LPGA Tour event. In 2005, shortly before her 16th birthday, Wie finally took her career to a professional level, accompanied by an enormous amount of advertising and endorsements, unsurprisingly. Then, in 2014, this knockout won her first major at the U.S. Women’s Open.
