Most popular female Australian athletes and teams on Twitter

This entry was posted by Laura on Wednesday, 13 October, 2010 at

I spent an hour or two looking to improve this list with an eye for female Australian athletes. They’ve been doing so well during the Commonwealth Games, the Matildas are doing awesome, the W-League and WNBL seasons are upon us. It seems like a great time to spotlight female athletes and teams. Of course, after I ran this list, I found another five or so female Australian athletes (cricketers) so this isn’t as comprehensive as I’d like. If you know of any Australian female athletes, clubs or leagues I am missing… let me know so that future lists can be improved.
