World's Hottest Female Athlete

What a weekend. Just an amazing championship tournament. I mean, it's great every year. But the last couple of days have just seemed to bring even more excitement than we've got any right to expect. More drama, bigger upsets, more Cinderellas, heavy favorites falling, and complete unknowns carving out a legend for themselves with big time clutch performances.

March Madness has been good, too. But of course I'm talking about the World Figure Skating Championships from Goteborg, Sweden. The basketball has been great, but I defy anyone to find as much drama in the first 48 games of the NCAAs as we had in this year's Worlds. The clutch, gutsy performance of men's champion Jeff Buttle. The agony of defending champ Miki Ando, who tried to go out there for her long program on a bum leg and a big heart, but had to leave the ice in tears. Mao Asada recovering to win the ladies title despite after falling on her triple axel. As Dick Button said, "Splendid."

But more than any other factor, what made this year's World's unforgettable was that it introduced us to Finnish skating legend Kiira Korpi. I'm stating right now that we can close down the polling places. The election is over. Without a doubt, Kiira Korpi is the consensus World's Hottest Female Athlete. By the time she finished her long program, you could tell Kiira even had Dickie B. ready to switch teams. Say what you want about Maria Sharapova or Daniela Hantuchova, but do either of them have an interactive online paper doll? No they don't. Only the best looking female athlete in the world has that, and Kiira is most definitely her.
