The Hot 50 Sports Stars In The World

"Looks, talent and sporting success. Take a cold shower, put your oven gloves on - it's Alpha's 50 hottest sports stars of 2007. Starring Maria Sharapova, LeBron James, Kristie Newton, Lucas Neill, Jodie Henry, Sonny Bill, Niki Gudex, Kelly Slater and Danica Patrick."

"Australia's mountain bikers may not often appear on the sports pages, but one Australian rider definitely deserves broader appeal. Gudex is one of the few mountain bikers to have won national championship series titles in both cross-country and downhill racing - two very different disciplines. The scars she's collected along the way may not be great business for her part time modelling career, but Gudex isn't too concerned: "I'd prefer to be a mountain biker than a model anyway. You can look at a hill and think, 'I rode that.'"
