AskMen screws over female athletes

I love AskMen.com. It is always a great read and has lots of photos of lovely ladies to look at. However, the site has me fired up as its Top 99 Most Desirable Women list has overlooked some extremely gorgeous and hot athletes and former athletes.

In total, the AskMen list, topped by Eva Mendes, includes seven athletes: . This is including two former "wrestlers," we can have the debate about whether they are actually athletes later.

Here is my top 10 of the sports ladies who were overlooked by AskMen and should be given their due:
10. Amanda Beard - I always thought that Beard had a unique face that could be gorgeous in some photos and at times a little less so, but former Playboy covergirl's toned body is definitely hot.
9. Gro Hammerseng - This stunning Norwegian handballer would rank even higher, except that she is dating a handballer - a cute female teammate. It's not that we have anything against this, it just means that she probably won't join us in bed.
8. Jelena Jankovic - Currently ranked No. 1 in the world, the exotic Serb is looking for her first major title - and looking good while doing it. She also always has something funny to say.
7. Alicia Sacramone - This U.S. gymnast wasn't at her best on the mat this summer but she still showed she is one of the best in the world. As well, her looks had us mesmerized. She is trying to get into fashion and I caught her on a Golden Globes red carpet show earlier this month (the wife made me watch it, OK?)
6. Karina Petroni - Is surfing a sport? This girl is just gorgeous.
5. Alexandra Orlando - The Canadian rhythmic gymnast topped webtv.hub's list of the 50 sexiest female competitors at the Olympics this summer.
4. Anna Rawson - Forget about Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman, Rawson is the real Aussie stunner. She has earned a spot on the LPGA tour for the 2009 season.
3. Lauren Jackson - Another Aussie. The Olympian, Seattle Storm hoopster and WNBA MVP is a tall drink of water - and I have never looked at water like this before. She doesn't mind doing nude shoots. That is a definite bonus.
2. Ashley Force - The drag racer is known for her speed on the track, for being John Force's little girl and for her killer good looks. In 2007, she topped an AOL Sports Poll for being the hottest athlete - male or female.
1. Natalie Gulbis - This girl makes golf worth watching. She is amazing to look at and has a fun personality.

So, that is my top 10 and I didn't even include retired athletes like Anna Kournikova (I mean, how can they leave her off) or Gabrielle Reece.
As well, I didn't include such hotties as softball hurlers Jennie Finch and Cat Osterman, tennis star Jelena Jankovic, golfer Cristie Kerr, snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, soccer goalie Hope Solo, Serena and Venus Williams ...
