Well, we all knew the time would come...As this
semester and fabulous assignment (that may have become a new summer hobby for
me) draw to a close, I’d like to end in true popculture fashion. Going back to the foundation of this blog and
rating top athletes based on the superficial aspects of their lives will serve
as a light, yet entertaining send off.
For my last official (graded ;)) blog post I will count down some
adorable powerhouse athlete couples.
Enjoy!
Maria Sharapova (tennis) and Sahsa
Vujacic (NBA)
Although the power from this “powerhouse” couple may
be coming all from Maria Sharapova, boyfriend and Lakers basketball player
Sahsa Vujacic doesn’t seem to mind too much; (way to be progressive
Sahsa). Despite riding the bench for the
Lakers he landed one of the hottest female athletes of the decade who also
happens to be on top in the tennis world.
Good for these two!
Mia Hamm (soccer) and Nomar Garciaparra
(MLB)
These two have been married since 2003, and although
Normar left the Red Sox right before they won it all in 2004, he still has his
wife’s two gold medals to look at. Who
says baseball and soccer players can’t get a long!? These two have certainly
found a way to make it work.
Heather Mitts (soccer) and AJ Feeley
(NFL)
Heather and AJ are currently engaged to be
married. Even though Feeley is a backup
QB in the NFL life is far from gloom for him being that his fiancé was named
ESPN’s sexiest female athletes of the year and has a couple gold medals to go
along with it. Nothing wrong with the
girls running the show in my eyes!
Candace Parker (WNBA) and Sheldon
Williams (NBA)
These two love birds have been married since
November 2008. They had their first baby
girl back in May of this year; adorable b-ball family; hopefully their little
girl has her mother’s and skills on the court though...
Misty May-Treanor (volleyball) and Matt
Treanor (MLB)
Married in 2004, this powerhouse couple proves once
again that it’s okay for the female to wear the pants in the relationship. Misty May is well known for her beach volleyball
performance (the uniform doesn’t hurt either), winning gold medals and being
apart of the winningest female volleyball duo of all time, not the mention the abundance
of endorsements she receives. Hubby Matt
Treanor plays in the MLB, but lets just say his greatest accomplishment is
landing Misty.
Amanda Beard
(swimming) and Carl Edwards (racing)
Although these two
broke up in 2006 they are still a note worthy powerhouse athlete couple. Although they were only together a short
while, with Beard’s seven gold medals and Edwards 40 Nascar wins they could
have been the most successful athlete couple of all time!
Andre Agassi
(tennis) and Steffi Graf (tennis)
Bring on the tennis
couple! Married since 2001, this couple has combined for over 150 titles. We will be expecting big things for their son
and daughter in the future; they have two great coaches after all.
Malia Jones
(surfer) and Luke Stedman (surfer)
Malia Jones married
the Aussi surfer Luke Stedman in 2007, and has led very successful
careers. They had their first child in
2009 (Spike); not the greatest name, but I’m sure he won’t have any trouble
picking up the ladies once he masters the craft of surfing.
This is Kournikova’s
third time getting mention on this blog; props to her for that. She and Sergi Federov divorced in 2003 after
a minute marriage, but she’s been newsworthy for less in her life than
this. Sergi claims they were married in
2001, but Anna says vows were never exchanged. Regardless of what really went
down, they’re a fun couple to mention.
With the longest
standing marriage of them all, we have Gabrielle Reece and Laird Hamilton
married since 1997. Reece has been
featured in Playboy and Hamilton has been described as “one of the baddest
dudes on the planet). Way to enforce the
“good guys finish last” stereotype you two.
Relationships will come and go, but the pictures you take together will be on the internet forever (lucky for us).
