Sexiest sports stars 3

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, U.S.A., beach volleyball, celebrate sweet victory at the Olympics. The May-Walsh partnership is the most world's most successful.

Marie-Jose Perec, France, track star. After a troubled career the gold-winning Olympian retired and looked forward to a career in tourism on Guadaloupe. Marie-Jose Perec could have run away with the gold in the women's 400-meter race in the Sydney Olympics. Instead, she just ran away. Reuters reported that the French track star fled the country, claiming that someone had threatened her at her hotel. Apart from Perec's assertion, there's no proof that such an encounter took place. This is one of a line of weird happenings in Perec's athletics career.
