30 Tough and Sexy Sports Hotties

Toughness comes in many forms. 

The women on this list are not only ravishing, but they all hail from sports that require a certain amount of heart. 

Some of these girls made the list because they are more beautiful than they are tough, or vice versa.

Athletics have given the universe innumerable gifts, but perhaps none is more glorious than the sexy athlete. 

There is something about a girl with pure athleticism, especially for us athletes out there.

Let's take a look at who made the cut. 

30. Maryse

Anyone who participates in a lingerie pillow fight is tough. 

Ok, maybe not so much, but Maryse looks good.

29. Natacha Gachang

Formula 1 is pretty much the only form of racing I respect. 

She may only race in the Formula 1 minor leagues, but anytime you could end up crashing in a fiery inferno you're at least mentally tough. 

Oh yeah, she's hot.

28. Angelica Chavez

Angelica is an MMA fighter. 

There are few sports around today that require more toughness than mixed martial arts. 

It might not be the worst thing in the world if Angelica got me into a rear naked choke.

27. Rita Dravucz

For those of you that think water polo does not require toughness, you are sadly mistaken.

Rita also has the looks of a supermodel which helped get her on this list.

26. Danica Patrick

The eternal Ricky Bobby once said, "I wanna go fast."

I'd like to go fast with Danica. 

25. Nikki Lee

I wish I could have found more photos or videos of Nikki, she may be one of the hottest LFL players around.

24. Stacy Keibler

Maxim video shoot

Stacy is a staple of pretty much any hot athletes list. 

I think it's pretty clear why that is.

23. Melany Lorenzo

Yet another Lingerie Football girl. 

I'm not really sure what position she played or how long she played, but she had to be on this list. 

22. Brooke Adams

Brooke Adams

I'm a self proclaimed hater of the WWE, but damn, these divas can hold it down.

21. Michelle Waterson

Michelle is an MMA fighter and is known as the "Karate Hottie." 

She reminds me of MMA ring girl Arianny.  That is, if Arianny could roundhouse kick you in the head.

20. Ashley Force

The Force name is a dynasty in the auto racing world.

Those eyes alone make her worthy of the list. 

19. Lokelani McMichael

http://i2.listal.com/image/1894447/600full-lokelani-mcmichael.jpg

Not many things are more athletically demanding that being a triathlete. 

Lokelani does it all and still stays smoking.

18. Laila Ali

http://lailaali.org/photo/laila_ali_2.jpg

Leila is the daughter of a legend and has all the swagger of her father. 

17. Maria Kanellis

Another Diva.

Anyone out there have any complaints? 

16. Annik Nayler

A former Lingerie Football League player who is also trained in fire safety. 

I'm going to stay away from all the firefighter jokes and just let you enjoy Annik.

  

15. Eve Torres

Eve is one of those women who is obviously physically beautiful, but has that extra sexy swag that really puts her over the top.

I said earlier how much I hate the WWE.

These Divas are seriously starting to change my mind.

14. Gina Carano

Gina is pretty much the poster child for a list like this. 

As an MMA fighter, she can throw down for real in the octagon and she probably looks good getting thrown down in the bedroom.

13. Eliana Sosco

Skateboarding definitely requires toughness. 

The rebel spirit inherent of skateboarders is also an incredibly sexy quality in a woman.

12. Gretchen Bleiler

http://a.espncdn.com/media/motion/2010/0310/themag_031010_bleiler.jpg

Another hot snowboarder. 

Don't think she's tough?

11. Chanelle Sladics

http://3.bp.blogspot.com

Chanelle is a snowboarder with a natural beauty that is nearly immobilizing.

Plus, the snow bunny look is always sexy.

10. Elle Cartabiano

http://3.bp.blogspot.com

You had to guess the LFL would hold it down on this list. 

 Any chick who can ball automatically earns some hot points. 

When you already look like a Victoria's Secret model and you can ball you're pretty much off the scale. 

9. Monique Gaxiola

http://coedmagazine.files.wordpress.com

She's got a little Kim Kardashian look going on. 

If Kim played football in her panties she'd be even hotter. 

Hence, the reason Monique made it onto this list.

8. Kelly Kelly

http://www.straitpinkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/barbieblank06.jpg

There are a lot hot WWE Divas out there. 

Kelly earned her spot because of one attribute in particular.

7. Tiffani Hardin

http://www.lfl360.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/tiffanihardin1.jpg

What else can I say about these Lingerie Football players? 

6. Danielle Moinet

Danielle has a special place in my heart.  

Not only is she incredibly fine, but she also plays quarterback in the LFL.  

Seriously?  

I played receiver back in day, so the thought of a smoke show like Danielle throwing me routes is pretty much nirvana. 

5. Mikayla Wingle

http://1.bp.blogspot.com

Clearly my love of football and women is evident throughout this slideshow.

Mikayla is another player in the LFL.

4. Leryn Franco

I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of stretching the limits of tough with this one, but Leryn had to be on the list. 

Her breathtaking beauty supercedes the fact that the javelin throw is not the most brutal of athletic endeavors.

3. Malia Jones

http://cdn2.maxim.com/maxim/files

Malia is a surfer and may exude the most raw sexuality of any woman on this list.

Surfing is sexy in and of itself, but when you add someone like Malia to the mix you can anticipate a tsunami of hotness.

2. Bianca Cruz

http://coedbc.files.wordpress.com

I have lost the ability to think clearly. This picture is incredible.

1. Anastasia Ashley

The natural motions of surfing usually create a hot body, whether it's man or woman. 

The ocean certainly did her job on this one. 

Anastasia is exquisite.
