Article:2008 Hottest Female Athlete Tournament - First Round Voting (Region 4)

After what seemed to be a very busy Halloween weekend for me, I finally have time (at 6:30 am) to give you the final 32 contestants for the "Hottest Female Athlete of All Time" tournament. After this, you will have seen all of the possible winners of the contest. Tell us what you think of this lovely flock of birds:

Bracket #4 preview===

The Gabriele Reese region is freakin loaded. By no means is Gabby Reese assured of a spot inn the FFOH, not with Gina Carano, Missy Gibson, Veronica Kay, and Kristi Leskinen lurking about. If Bracket #2 is deemed the Group of Death, this region is the “Group of Near Death”, or “The Gauntlet”.

Best first round match:  Gisela Dulko vs. Laura Manaudo…Argentina against France, the heart swoons.

Biggest miss match:  Gabby Reese vs. Nicole Bobek…poor Nicole gets ousted by a pre tournament favorite.

Second round watch:  Natalie Coughlin vs. Hope Solo, Lauren Jackson vs. Maria Kirilenko, Michelle Wei vs. Ana Ivanavich

Best bet to advance to the Final Four of Hotness:  Reese, Carano, Gibson, Kay

Dark horse:  Hope solo, Natalie Coughlin
