While these may be some of the fiercest athletes in the world, take them off the slopes and the ice and they sure clean up well.

In honor of heart health month, top female competitors at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics took time out of training to get their model on in a selection of red dresses.

Accessorizing with the American flag, skates, skis and even a hockey stick, these women show support for their country and a good cause while looking red hot.

Lindsey Vohn is an attention seeking pain in the butt. She has ruined the competition with her need for celebrity,. She is perfect for a tacky reality show in the future. Can't stand her.

Lindsey Vonn has such an ego now. She is nothing more than a drama queen and I bet she poses nude before lone. There isn't a camera she doesn't like and I hope her 15 minutes of fame ends soon.
