US Soccer Goalie Hope Solo is our first Hottie of the Beijing Games. At 27 years old and hailing from Seattle, Hope is not only a blonde bombshell, she's been known to be explosive on the field. In 2007, she was kicked off the US FIFA Women's World Cup team for criticizing her coach but has since worked hard to make the starting goalie position on the Olympic team.
