Katarina Witt

In the late ‘80s, Katarina Witt stopped competing as a figure skater. Despite this, we have not forgotten about her just yet. After all, the German native started working in the world of film and TV after that. She made it big after bringing home two Olympic gold medals under the East Germany flag. The first one was at the Sarajevo Olympics in 1984, while the second was at the Calgary Olympics in 1988. She has four World Champion titles and two World silver medals to her name. Her talent made her stand out from the crowd, as did her beauty. She was the poster athlete of East Germany back in the day.

Now in her fifties, Gabrielle Reece made it big as a pro volleyball player. But aside from that, she also served as a fashion model, an actress, and a sports announcer. She earned a volleyball scholarship at Florida State University and then moved to New York City after her graduation. She went pro, but this did not stop her from becoming a sports fashion model at the same time. With her good looks, we are sure that it was not difficult to find a job. She must have been a natural!
