5. Patricia Mamona
Mamona isn’t the most famous athlete on this list but she’s a ferocious competitor. The Olympic silver medalist grew up in Portugal after moving from Angola. Then she earned a scholarship to Clemson and tore up the NCAA scene with multiple wins.

This triple jumper is one of the world’s gorgeous female athletes. True, her powerful physique may cause some people to turn their noses up but she’s at the peak of human performance. Meanwhile, Mamona spreads a lot of joy on her social media where she interacts with fans (via Annual-Report).
