Sanya Richards, 23-years-old, has a renowned ability to challenge a speeding bullet. She proved her point by becoming the youngest woman ever to break the daunting 49-second barrier in the 400 meters. She won two Olympic gold medals in the 4 × 400 meters relay at the 2004 and the 2008 Olympic Games. She also won individual bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics, for the 400 meter. She went on to win a gold medal in the 400 meter race at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. FemaleMuscle loves her because she is a woman who is boldly chasing (pun intended) her dreams and while she is at it, creating a strong image for fans everywhere, and plus, who doesn’t love her shoulders and arms?
