7. Agnieszka Radwanska

Despite holding a second seed in the Olympic women's singles competition and the number two spot in the world, Polish tennis player Agnieszka Radwanska fell to unseeded Julia Goerges of Germany in the first round. But she has plenty to fall back on even if she leaves London without a medal: her prize winnings and endorsements from the likes of Lexus have garnered her $6.9 million in the last year.

What a misleading headline. 7 of the 8 athletes make all their money as a result of professional tennis. They just happen to be Olympians this year. If you are going to "explore" this subject...do a better job. I'd love to read about how different athletes are able/unable to parley their Olympic success into business ventures. Never saw the Darling of the Olympics gymnasts like Olga Korbut, or Nadia C. or more recently Dominique do much with it other than coaching and a traveling show..Bet Gabby cashes in big time.
