It’s no doubt that the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is what everyone is talking about these days. Putting aside our very own Malaysian Flying Fish Prince and the other good looking and skilled male participants, there are also a number of attractive female athletes participating in the competition.
Here are some of the beauties you may have seen on television, coming from different backgrounds and representing their countries.
Camila Giorgi
Camila Giorgi, a professional Italian tennis player who won her first ITF title in 2009, made her Grand Slam and main draw debut at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships. Giorgi advanced to the fourth round of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships on only her second appearance.
Most of her athleisure wear is designed by her mother.
Farah Ann Abdul Hadi
Born in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Farah Ann was born to a Malaysian father and a Canadian mother. Being the true Malaysian that she is, she was representing our country in Women’s artistic gymnastics. Although she came home from Tokyo without any wins, having her being able to even participate in the international multi-sport event is a big thing for us Malaysians.
Avishag Semberg
The 19-year-old is a taekwondo athlete from Israel and has secured a bronze medal for her country in the women’s 49 kg competition. Becoming Israel’s youngest ever medalist, she managed to beat Turkey’s Rukiye Yıldırım. She’s also the first Israeli to ever win a taekwondo match at the Olympics.
She is currently in a relationship with another fellow Israeli taekwondo athlete – Nimrod Krivitzky.
Alica Schmidt
Born in 1998 in Worms, Germany, Alicia Schmidt is a German runner and is part of the national team for the 4 × 400 metres relay event. Before the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, she came in second at the 2017 European Athletics U20 Championships, and third in the same discipline at the 2019 European Athletics U23 Championships.
She’s also sponsored by Puma.
Valentina Acosta Giraldo
