By trade, professional athletes are physical specimens. Translate that to women’s sports, and you have a ready-made recipe for thirst bucket activity by virtue of them being paid to take care of their bodies.

During the rare times when all that athletic prowess isn’t put to use, a revealing photo shoot has never done any harm. The detective work has already been done for you with this collection of 13 of the most attractive female athletes. Game time never looked so good.

Skylar Diggins

From her time at Notre Dame to her current WNBA run, we understand why Drake was thirsty.

Candace Parker

You know it’s real when Streetlife from Wu-Tang Clan is shouting out Candace Parker. Shelden Williams is a former Duke basketball player who is married to Candace Parker. Feel free to let the hate out.

Serena Williams

BRUH. Serena has turned Common, Drake, and probably many a fan into a thirst bucket with her well renowned thickness.

Lolo Jones

The Olympic hurdler-turned-bobsledder had no shame in telling the world she was a virgin. Her dry wit and statuesque beauty are two reasons a lot of dudes would happily take that V-card.

Sydney Leroux

If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. This Canadian forward for the US women’s national soccer team is the truth. Get thee to Google and look up her pics in the ESPN The Magazine’s body issue.

Jessica Ennis

During the 2012 Olympics in London, British heptathlete had us thinking one word: cakes.

Jaqueline Carvalho

If you know about Brazilian women and happen to remember what the average female volleyball player wears as a “uniform,” you get an idea of just why Carvalho is so popular. She can throw down on the court too.

Leryn Franco

Franco is a Paraguayan athlete and model in that order. She throws a mean javelin, and once you see her, you’ll want to do the same.

Sanya Richards-Ross

Few finer things have emerged from Jamaica than Sanya Richards-Ross. She can run a mean 400 meters, has washboard abs, and does community outreach. What more can you ask for?

Michelle Jenneke

You don’t need Iggy Azalea. Jenneke is your WorldStar approved Australian Becky with cakes for days. Bonus points because she doesn’t rap horribly.

Anastasia Ashley

When the term “twerk” was first starting to get appropriated and played out, Ashley was at the forefront of the movement popping her petite bottom on the beach as a warm up before she surfed. You know the drill: surfbort.

Alex Morgan

Morgan is a teammate and BFF of Leroux, who’s equally attractive and a deadly scorer. A cursory glance at her Instagram account reveals some swirly pics of their strictly platonic friendship. That doesn’t mean you can’t fantasize though.

Gina Carano

Gina Carano

Once you’re armed with the knowledge that this MMA fighter posed for Playboy, there’s really no reason to waste time reading about it. A picture is worth a thousand words.

AJ Lee

Perhaps this doesn’t count since WWE Diva AJ Lee retired? Nah. Hopefully, that just means she has more free time on her hands and can commence to thirst-trapping.
