Well for the start of this NEW YEAR yours truly thought we might kick it off with some ripper sheilahs, and seeing we all love our sport then why not join the two together. And what I came up with was Notso's Top Eleven sporty sheilahs.... Why eleven you ask? well to be fairdinkum it was bloody had to cut it down to that! And I thought that my top 237 sheilahs would take to long to post. So I picked through them very.... slowly.... to come up with my best ones to put in, Over the years i've had so many ripper winners of Notso's top sporty sheilahs like.... Gabriela Sabatini, Anna kournikova, katarina witt, Leisel Jones, and the spunky little Snow skier Alisa Camplin. So who wins this years beaut'est Sheilah....
Stone the crows what a beaut start!
We start our top Eleven with two sheilahs.... and what a friggin sandwich these two would make, it's the Brazilian synchronize swimming twins Bia and Branca Feres. Crikey what a pair.... these two Rio De Janeiro identical twin sheilahs make hay. They have been swimming about for a fair few years, and are known in the synchronized swimming world as SPOONERS! Strewth doesn't that make the mind wonder... and what a sight these two 22 year old sisters make, as they splash about like couple of raw prawns in the sun.
At number Ten comes Hawaiian bonzer surfer Malia Jones who at the nice age of thirty three, is together with Biba Golic the oldest girls to make the list. She was actually born in California but moved back to Hawaii when she was two, so really you should call her Hawaiian hay. But fairdinkum she's actually Hawaiian, Spanish-Filipino, German and English descent.... crikey she's one mixed bag! She began to surf competitively in her early teens, and also picked up a job as a swimsuit model spunk for the blokes bible Sports Illustrated.
Niki Gudex now with a name like that you might of thought this spunky little thing might of come from the hinterlands of Sweden, or from a sunny beach in the Greek islands... but NO! This thirty-one year old is actually a ridge-didge Aussie from the hills around Sydney, who just loves to slide that fine freckle into her mountain bike and set off up a hill crikey. She has won the Australian National Championships and placed in the top ten World Championships. She's also graced the covers of Black n' white and The Rolling stone mags and our aussie sport bible Inside Sport, while she was there she won the magazines Australia's Sexiest Sportswoman in 2002.
At number eight and at the beaut age of 33 this Serbian table-tennis player is a knock out, Biba Golic is a Mediterranean Champion, a Yugoslavian Champion and US National Champion.... so she knows how to handle balls! (table-tennis balls that is) This scrutinise Yugoslavian beauty has been playing since she turned nine, and if were lucky then she will keep sending them down for a few more years to go.
At lucky seven comes the Aussie drop dead gorgeous glamor sheilah Nikki Garrett, this easy on the eye glamorpuss comes all the way from Shelly Beach Gosford. That's right all that time I spent catching waves on the surfski on old Shelly's, when I should of been hitting golf balls just up in the sand dunes of the Shelly beach Golf Club. This 27 year old professional golfer grew up just down the road from Bateau Bay, and now swings her clubs all around the world.... lucky bugger. She has won two Professional tournaments the first was Tenerife Ladies Open which is on the Spanish Island of Tenerife, and the other was the Open De EspaƱa Femenino which is also in Spain. Both she won in 2007 but sadly she hasn't done anything since.
Our third aussie in the top eleven is a crow eater from South Aussie, who goes by the name of Anna Rawson, and as you can see is not a bad sort at all. Fairdinkum this girl has better legs then the daily double at Saturdays Randwick meeting! she might be getting on a bit but shes still good on the eye if your into watching golf. That's right Anna is one of Australia's champion golfers, and coming up to the ripe old age of 29 (thats old in sport years mate) is loving her golf. She turned Pro (Golf Pro that is) in 2004 and since has won the Jack Newton International, and is currently playing in the LPGA Tour.
In 5th place comes the gorgeous Californian gal Amanda Beard, who just happens to be an American Olympic level swimmer. This Newport beach sheilah participated in '96, '00, '04 and '08 summer Olympics, in which she captured a total seven medals fairdinkum Chlorine is this sheilahs perfume. It's a known thing that everybody should start at the bottom in any sport... Except maybe in learning to swim! This thirty year old vegetarian was actually one of the youngest U.S. swimmers in history to win a Olympic gold medal, she won a Olympic bronze medal in 2000 and again in 2004 she set a world record in the 200 meter breaststroke... which just so happens to be my favorite stroke!
At No4 is the perfect athletic form of our attractive Serbian beauty Ana Ivanovic, who at the age of 24 has already amassed more then 8 million dollars US. So thanks to her turning pro at the age of sixteen, this Yugoslavian sheilah isn't short of a crust hay. This young sheilah is now based in Switzerland and has already won a ripper event, and that would be the 2008 French Open and a runner up at the 2008 Australian Open.
A womans water-polo player gets the number three place in the list, as ripsnorter Rita Drayucz from Hungary picks up the place. The 28 year old who looks like a little spunk in her cosi, has been splashing about in pools for the Hungary national team since 1997. She knows how to keep a conversation up at the local dinner party, as shes a trilingual (Hungarian, Italian n' English) and can speak all the lingo. Shes known as a accurate shot in a match and can easily find the back of the net, but it's a funny game water-polo because you get the best perve from the players on the bench!
Just missing out on number one is the spunky Swedish sheilah Susanna Kallur, now Susanna was born in the USA but hurdles for Sweden which means she has dual-citizenship. Shes an athlete competing in the run-and-jumps (Hurdles), and has won heaps of medals in the 100m hurdles over the years. Shes now reached 29 years old so she probably has another few years, before this beauty hangs up the spikes for good.
And the Winner is.....
WINNER for this years Notso's Sportiest Sheilah gos to the legendary Italian Tania Cagnotto, who at the tender age of 25 years is a champion diver. And isn't she a little ripper to have a squizz at fairdinkum, you wouldn't blame a mozzie for getting it's teeth into this little Italian. She bounced to three Gold metals at the European Diving Championships which were held in Torino '09, then followed it up with a Gold at the next Championships at Budapest in 2010. So not only is this fine specimen of a sheilah a real beaut, but she can dive off the one and three meter springboard with the elegance of a gazelle... Well okay a gazelle jumping off a springboard ten meters in the air mightn't be the most elegant sight, but you get the drift hay. So an Italian wins this years award NOTSO'S SPORTEST SHEILAH for recognize excellence in the field of wearing a cosi!
