We here at Sports Crunch love the Olympics. It’s great getting excited about sports that we only think of once every four years, and we wish there were more events with non-stop nearly round the clock action for two solid weeks. But what we really love are all the incredibly fit women that grace our televisions every four years. So, because it’s what we do, we decided to make a list of our favorite 50 female athletes competing in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Hope you enjoy, we certainly had a great time putting it together.
