1. Calvin Borel -- horse racing

Charismatic jockey who won three Kentucky Derbys in a four-year span.

2. Robert Griffin, III -- football

Former Baylor quarterback who now leads the Washington Redskins.

3. Gabby Douglas -- gymnastics

Heroine of the U.S. gymnastics team at the 2012 Olympics.

4. Andrew McCutchen -- baseball

Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder who won last year's NL MVP.

5. Bubba Watson -- golf

Who could forget his emotional win at the 2012 Masters?

6. Jamie Sale -- ice skating

She was one half of the Canadian pair who was awarded the gold medal after the judging scandal at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

7. Kevin Ware -- basketball

His horrific injury during last year's NCAA tournament was responsible for inspiring his Louisville Cardinals to win their first championship in 27 years.

8. Tony Kanaan -- auto racing

This Brazilian racer won last year's Indianapolis 500.

9. Jennifer Kessy -- volleyball

American beach volleyball medalist not named Misty May-Treanor or Kerri Walsh-Jennings.

10. Kayla Harrison -- judo

I had to use her in this game because she was born in my old hometown of Middletown, OH. :) There was a big event for her in Middletown after she won her gold medal at the 2012 Olympics.

The best score here was 7 out of 10, which three players achieved.

4/7 + 4/8 + 4/9 + 4/10 Scores (12 participants)
Bob Juch - 9 + 6 + 16 + 28 = 59
ShamelessWeasel - 2 + 11 + 16 + 28 = 57
plasticene - 4 + 9 + 8 + 28 = 49
smilergrogan - 4 + 11 + 10 + 16 = 41
kroxquo - 2 + 7 + 0 + 24 = 33
franktangredi - 4 + 13 + 6 + 4 = 27
jarnon - 1 + 3 + 10 + 12 = 26
Bob78164 - 3 + 7 + 0 + 0 = 10
MarleysGh0st - 4 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 10
Vandal - 4 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 4
silverscreenselect - 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
themanintheseersuckersuit - 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
