Maria Sharapova
What else can we say about the great Maria Sharapova? There was a point when she was considered to be the face of women’s tennis. The Russian-born athlete was only 18 years old when she ended up becoming No. 1 in the world. She also went on to claim 36 single titles! When we talk about tennis, people take Grand Slams to be the indicator of greatness. The fact that she has five titles to her name is certainly all the proof we need of her tennis glory. Aside from her two wins at the French Open, she got one each during Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open.

McKayla Maroney
It is quite unfortunate if a popular meme overlooks your sports credentials. This was true for McKayla Maroney, who made gymnastic waves after one of the Fierce Five won gold in the 2012 Summer Olympics. After receiving the silver medal, they photographed the gymnast and it became a popular meme on the Internet. He went along with this slogan: “McKayla wasn’t impressed.” After suffering numerous injuries, she retired from the sport.
