| On the list because the 25-year-old Canadian is sometimes called "the female Wayne Gretzky." Member of the national team since age 15, she was MVP of Canada's Olympic champions in 2002. Played men's pro hockey in 2003 with a second-division team in Finland and scored two goals and 10 assists in 23 games. |
| On the list because she was the first to free climb the Nose on Yosemite's El Capitan, in 1993. In 1994, she climbed the Nose in 23 hours, a speed record that hasn't been broken. And she's still one of the best climbers in the world -- male or female -- at age 43. | |
