15. Gretchen Bleiler



Snowboarders tend to be fun people. They tend to hang out with other fun people. And they tend to travel to interesting place. Do the math; follow Gretchen Blailer. Her actual tweets? Well, they can be kind of boring. But she snaps fun photos—dogs in costumes, scenic landscapes, her training—so her feed it worth a look just for that.

14. Allyson Felix



Allyson Felix, in addition to being pretty hot and a tremendously gifted athlete, also seems like a pretty cool person who’s involved in a number of good causes. Plus she tweets tons of great pics.
Did I mention she is gorgeous? Oh, right, I did.

13. Lolo Jones



Lolo took a lot of crap (from the New York Times) for getting more attention than she supposedly deserved at the 2012 Summer Olympics simply because she is hot. However, if people had bothered to check out her Twitter feed, they would have discovered that she’s also genuinely funny* and down to earth—the kind of chick it would be cool to hang out with at a sports bar. So I say she deserved every bit of attention she gets.
*ESPN’s Samantha Steele tweeted this pic and said it was nice to have another woman on the bus. Lolo Jones replied, “This is awkward. Espn didn’t tell u? I’m here to apply for ur job.”

12. Paula Creamer



Paula Creamer has been one of the most popular golfers on the LPGA Tour pretty much since the day she joined. It’s easy to see why. “The Pink Panther,” as she is called, keeps it real on her Twitter feed, posting random thoughts (e.g., she really likes the Starbucks non-fat peppermint latte), updates about her schedule, and candid photos from her everyday life.

11. Caroline Wozniacki



For being one of the most famous and richest female athletes in the world, Caroline Wozniacki seems pretty down to earth. Her Twitter account isn’t run by her publicist; it’s just a straight forward look at her life—which looks pretty great. If you can withstand the mushy tweets about all the sweet things her boyfriend (some guy named Rory McIlroy) does for her, then you’ll also get a behind the scenes look at what it’s like to be a tennis superstar.
You can definitely tell she’s part of the generation that grew up with social media and had no reservations about sharing her life with the entire world. However, she’s not shallow and vapid like to many other women her age. I highly recommend her Twitter feed.

10. Ronda Rousey



I find this Olympic gold medalist-turned-MMA star quite fascinating. When she’s in the ring, with her hair pulled back tightly, she looks like such a badass. When she’s out of the ring, she looks like your typical girly girl. There’s something about that juxtaposition that is just awesome. Consensus #1 pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world on the one hand; super hot, fun-loving model on the other hand.
