The opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics are coming up on July 27. And to get you all ready for the Games of the XXX Olympiad—yep, that’s right, these are the triple-X games—we at total pro sports present you with this list of 30 gorgeous female Olympians. Why? Because the only thing better than extremely attractive women are extremely attractive women who also happen to be really talented.
So check out this list, then consult your local TV listings and set your DVRs accordingly. (You’re welcome.)

Field hockey has a lot of gorgeous athletes. Four-time Olympian Luciana Aymar is just the tip of the iceberg.
I included New Zealand’s Luuka Jones for all the outdoorsy, crunchy granola types out there. (She’ll be competing the canoeing competition.)
Great Britain isn’t known to be a track and field powerhouse, but Jessica Ennis here is a former World Champion in heptathlon, so she could definitely take home a medal this year.
Sue Bird isn’t just a pretty face; she’s also one of the best players in the WNBA.
Hope Solo and Alex Morgan get all the attention (don’t worry, they’re coming up), but American soccer player Sydney Leroux is fairly attractive, too.
Brazil is famous around the world for two things: their soccer and their incredibly gorgeous women. So here’s a two-fer: an incredibly gorgeous Brazilian soccer player.
German sprint canoer Nicole Reinhardt is the world champ in the 500m…and she has no problem with nudity, having appears on the cover of German Playboy
Swimmer Natalie Coughlin already has three Olympic gold medals to her name and is the only woman ever to win the 100m backstroke in back-to-back Games. Also, she’s still really good-looking.
We’ve gotta have a Canadian on the list, right? Luckily, we don’t really have to stretch things too far. Soccer player Lauren Sesselmann doesn’t need hot-chick affirmative action.
Swin Cash of the WNBA’s Chicago Sky already had one gold medal to her name from the 2004 Games in Athens. This year she’ll be going for #2.
Caroline Wozniacki has fallen off a bit since being ranked #1 in 2010 (she’s now #8), but she’ll still look to bring Denmark a medal in women’s tennis this year.
See, I told you there would be more field hockey athletes. Fatima here plays for the Netherlands.
Like our previous entry, Noel Barrionuevo will also be vying for field hockey gold in London—only it will be for Argentina.
And what do you know—yet another field hockey player. This sport is really on a roll here.
The #12-ranked women’s tennis player is four years removed from winning the French Open and climbing to #1 one in the world. However, she’s still #1 in our hearts. (Though, when is comes to beautiful women’s tennis players, there’s like a 10-way tie for the #1 spot.)
I can’t be sure, but Lolo Jones is probably the best-looking 60 and 100m hurdles specialist in the world. And she me also be the Olympics’ hottest virgin.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Rice is still the best-looking athlete from the Australian contingent. (I think. Please feel free to prove me wrong on that.)
Her glory days in the pool were back in 2003 when she won a World Championship in the freestyle. But at 27, Seppala is just coming into her own in the looks department.
It’s not only the beach volleyball players that look good in bikinis. The indoor types (like Kim, here) can hold their own.
I told you we’d see the U.S. goalkeeper on the list. How could we not?
For years people have been going gaga over Misty May-Treanor, but I think Jennier Kessy (beach volleyball player) makes Misty look downright average.
With this woman running around on the field, you’ll want to make sure you catch all of the France’s soccer games this year.
Maria Sharapova makes almost every list we do—best-looking, highest-earning, most-talented…you name it.
I realize that ranking tennis player Dominika Cibulkova ahead of Sharapova and Ivanovic is a bit of an upset. But I thought it was time for a change.
Here’s another reason to watch women’s beach volley ball this year…like you needed it.
And if you get tired of beach volleyball, there’s alway regular old-fashioned indoor volleyball.
Then again, how can you get tired of beach volleyball?
Alex Morgan became a household name during last summer’s Women’s World Cup, and she’s been in our thoughts ever since.
I think it’s safe to say that Leryn Franco here is the most famous javelin athlete in the history of the world.
Coming in at #1 is yet another indoor volleyball player. I don’t know if Italy’s Francesca Piccinini (what a name) always looks this amazing, but I also do not care. This photo is more than enough evidence for me.
