After all of the bullshit Olympic events we've sat through (e.g., curling), the moment we've been waiting for finally arrived yesterday—the competition featuring ladies with limber bodies, stripper-like flexibility, and the awesome athletic ability to jump on ice. That's right, last night was the start of the ladies' figure skating competition in Vancouver, with the best skaters from all over the world—including this year's favorites, Kim Yu-Na of South Korea and Miki Ando of Japan—breaking it down in skin-tight outfits (no Johnny Weir) in the short program. So, while you get ready to peep tomorrow's finale, we celebrate the in-between day with the hottest female figure skaters of all time...
#10. Dorothy Hamill, USA
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Innsbruck 1976
COMPLEX SAYS: America's sweetheart took home gold in '76 Olympics, popularizing the bob haircut and her trademark "Hamill camel" skating move.

#9. Sonja Henie, Norway
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: St. Moritz 1928, Lake Placid 1932, Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936
COMPLEX SAYS: This blonde throwback (and we mean throwwwwwwback) from Norway stunted on ice and the big screen. She was a three-time gold medalist and one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. But she was also known for her connections to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Aryan bitches—can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

#8. Nancy Kerrigan, USA
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Albertville 1992, Lillehammer 1994
COMPLEX SAYS: Thanks to Tonya Harding, Kerrigan was the victim of one of the gulliest attacks in sports history. Despite the attack, Nancy still left with silver around her neck. We'd beat...minus the crowbar, obviously.

#7. Peggy Fleming, USA
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Grenoble 1968
COMPLEX SAYS: Peggy took the only U.S. gold medal at the '68 games, and has since worked as a commentator for ABC Sports. The B&W pic above might be kinda tame now but it was fappable 40 years ago. Ax your pops.

#6. Kiira Korpi, Finland
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Torino 2006, Vancouver 2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Kiira was only 17 when she competed at the games in Torino, but at 21, she's all grown-up now for this year's Games. Legal Scandinavian ice princess x Olympic Village debauchery = a damn good time by all.

#5. Michelle Kwan, USA
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Nagano 1998, Salt Lake City 2002
COMPLEX SAYS: This American-born beauty has won bronze and silver, but never gold. Injury kept her out of the 2006 Games, and rather than compete in Vancouver, she opted to continue her political studies at graduate school. Damn Asian overachievers!

#4. Sasha Cohen, USA
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Torino 2006
COMPLEX SAYS: Sasha took silver at the 2006 Games and received more attention when the Flying Tomato tried to holler. We can't blame him, though. With a body like that, and contortions like this, we'd try to lay some half-pipe, too.

#3. Miki Ando, Japan
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Vancouver 2010
COMPLEX SAYS: Miki is making her Olympic debut this year, but is already known for sexy acts such as her "handcuffs" routine, performed in leather shorts. She only won a bronze medal for that competition, but we feel it was at least worthy of a gold..en shower.

#2. Kim Yu-Na, South Korea
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Vancouver 2010
COMPLEX SAYS: The Japanese and South Koreans have a long history of beef, and this year's figure-skating competition is no different. The current favorite is this barely-legal '90s baby, also known as Korea's "little sister." If Yu-Na ends up failing, we have an idea for a second career...

#1. Katarina Witt, Germany
OLYMPICS COMPETED IN: Sarajevo 1984, Calgary 1988
COMPLEX SAYS: Katarina won her first pair of gold medals in '84 then in '88. Ten years later, she showed off her God-given medals in Playboy magazine. Like gymnastics, figure-skating usually favors the petite and lithe, but the voluptuous Witt was a curvy exception to the rule. We'd say that qualifies her as the hottest figure skater of all time.
