CNN Go listed Asia's sexiest 30 athletes.

Yu-Na topped the ladies' list and Mao is # 13 ( ummmmhhhhwaaat. needs to be higher tbh). Pics and write-up below.

ifkr??

yeah I kind of expected Daisuke to make the list. Maybe they have to limit to x number of athletes per nation but his achievement is more impressive than the majority of the athletes they picked. He's prettier than most of them too.

SHE IS GORGEOUS.

Mao's not even the sexiest Japanese ladies skater! Beautiful? Yes. Cute? Yes. Sexy? I don't think so. Miki is the one who should have been there.

And I can't believe Daisuke isn't there! >:(

Or Fumie Suguri or Shizuka, imo.

I think lists like these tend to take into account overall popularity and medals / achievements the most. The sexy thing is just a title gimmick to get people's attention. They can replace 'sexiest' with 'most popular', I guess.

I agree that the dudes list is underwhelming. Then again, if they put Daisuke and Takahiko and left Oda out that'd be kinda....cruel. XD

yay for you-na and mao, but i'm disappointed keisuke honda is not on the men's list

They are both beautiful ladies, each one in their own style and it's really cool to see them getting love from the media.
