Next Olympic athlete beauty on WC News is Hope Amelia Solo, born July 30, 1981. She is an American soccer goal keeper, playing for the United States women’s national soccer team since 2000. There is an interesting story about Hope Solo and her soccer career, probably something that never happened in soccer history! During her high school days Solo was playing forward and she was very successful on that position, leading her team to three consecutive league titles and a state championship, scoring 109 goals! Later she decided to change her position to goalkeeper! Probably no one was hoping, even herself, that she will be even more successful as a goalkeeper. Eight years later the United States women’s national soccer team won the gold medal at the Olympics in Beijing defeating Brazil, mostly thanks to the great performance of Hope Solo, making save after save!
