When the game is on the line, athletes have to perform with every set of eyeballs in the crowd locked on them. These ladies probably have to deal with every set of eyeballs on them even when the games or matches aren’t even close. Hell, even when they’re at the grocery store or walking their dog, these girls probably command attention, wanted or not. Why? ‘Cause they got back. Sir Mix-a-Lot, if you’re reading, this piece is for you. Here are some of the best backsides in women’s sports. Actually, in the world, not just women’s sports. Enjoy.

19. Kerri Walsh

What has two index fingers and a great backside? THIS GIRL!

18. Francesca Piccinini

You don’t have to have a killer derriere to be a pro volleyball player. But it don’t hurt.

17. Anna Semenovich

I hadn’t heard of her either. Good luck trying to forget her after seeing this pic. In case you meet her and talk about her interests, she’s a figure skater. So read up on figure skating.

16. Anna Kournikova

We’re not going for subtlety here. And apparently, neither is she.

15. Maria Sharapova

This picture doesn’t offer much in the way of context, but when it comes to Sharapova’s body parts, context is wayyyyy overrated.

14. Misty May

The best thing about female volleyball players is that when they have a great ass, it is hidden from no one.

13. Sandra Pires

I think all Brazilian women’s sports should be simulcast stateside. If only for the tiny outfits.

12. Amy Acuff

I’m sure there is a great reason why a high jumper needs a tone and taught butt, but rather than ask why, let’s just be grateful for what we have been given.

11. Anastasia Ashley

She gets 42 extra hot points for being named Anastasia and not being a stripper or wannabe pop singer.

10. Gabrielle Reece

You can’t tell where the bikini stops and the backside starts, which is just fine. Even at 6′ 3″, she’s proportioned well.

This brunette bombshell golfer was born on 03/27/86 in Moscow, Russia, and has since taken the world by storm not only with her good looks but her ability to grip a golf club.

In 2004 she won the Russian Amateur Championship and did the same again in 2006.  In 2007 she qualified for the Ladies European Tour (LET), and has since cashed in all but one “regular” tour event she’s played so far.  Verchenova has also recently qualified to play in the upcoming Women’s British Open.

Maria Verchenova is already being tagged as the next Maria Sharapova of tennis.  The only difference right now is that along with good looks, Sharapova is an established winner on the Tennis Tour.  But hopefully Verchenova can follow suit and have a long and successful career.
