​Since the advent of Title IX into law in 1972 dictated that all public high schools and universities have the same amount of male and female sporting teams, there has been a boom in the promotion and prominence of female athletes. In the time between 1972 and now we have seen womens sports go from an afterthought to sitting on our television sets, with events such as the Olympic basketball, soccer and track and field events gaining specifically large promotion.

The result of female sports gaining more promotion in the mainstream has been that both male and female viewers have seen women athletes come into the public spectrum for the first time. While for females this has been a very significant thing in that it has brought a role model that can be related to in the sporting world, it can easily be seen that the impact on males has been much different.

What the rise of female athletes has done from many males is provide another avenue of attractive females to look at. No longer are the most attractive women in the world exclusively models or actresses, but now they can be athletes as well. For men the result is that there are now additional sex figures in the world that grace the pages of magazines such as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, ESPN The Body Issue and the like.

While the editions of these two articles do a significant job of getting together a good group of attractive female athletes within their pages, they are often limited by who is willing to pose for their cameras. Having this limitation in mind we have compiled a list of the 20 sexiest women in sports, with no limitations from holding ourselves back.

Enjoy!
