Katarina Witt
In the late 80s, Katarina Witt may have retired from figure skating, but that doesn’t mean her name was forgotten, especially as the German native has since worked in film and television. In any case, after winning two Olympic gold medals for East Germany, Witt got her fame, first at Sarajevo’s 1984 Olympics and second at Calgary’s 1988 Olympics. She happens to be a four-time world champion and two-time world, silver medalist. Witt was East Germany’s poster athlete with her unstoppable talent and radiant beauty.
Gabrielle Reece
As a professional volleyball player, Gabrielle Reece, now 50 years old, has made a name for herself and as a sports announcer, fashion model, and actress. Reece moved to New York City to pursue a parallel career as a sports fashion model after playing college-level volleyball for Florida State University on a scholarship while continuing her pro-volleyball career. Then again, we can’t say that it surprises us as much as she looks natural in front of the camera, not to mention she’s unbelievably beautiful.
