see, this is all i was asking for. another few names.

great lists, and a ton of deserving people. you can make an argument for a few of the gold medal winners, but nobody won multiple medals, from what i saw. i have no horse in this race, so i really don't care.

For the record, the runner up was Lauren Hill (the basketball player with brain cancer) and third place was Serena Williams.

The ice dancer chick did, but that's barely even a sport.

And all I had to do was google "sochi gold medalists," "2014 women's grand slam winners," "2014 women's college world series" and "2014 women's basketball all americans" to find a dozen more worthy candidates. You'd have thought the JOURNALISTS at the Associated freaking Press would have done that too instead of just sitting around a table and saying "who was that little girl who pitched in those Little League games? That was cool. Let's give it to her"--which was apparently what they did.

I can at least concede that Davis was the beneficiary of a down year in female sports, and therefore her selection is not as far out of left field as she otherwise should have been. Still, the Olympic champions are far more deserving in my mind than Davis could ever be.
