Zara Phillips may have narrowly missed out on the Olympic Games – but she is still a winner.

Just two days before Beijing 2008 begins, she has been voted the British sportswoman who best combines achievement and glamour.

Athletes who will compete in the Games are not far behind, with cyclist Victoria Pendleton and heptathlete Kelly Sotherton claiming spots two and five respectively. Gold-winning legends Kelly Holmes and Denise Lewis take positions three and four.

Celebrity personal trainer Nicki Waterman, who oversaw the poll, said: “Between them the top five have won a host of honours, including three Olympic golds, three Olympic bronzes and two BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, and have done so while always looking their best.”

Zara, 27, was forced to withdraw from the Olympics after her horse, Toytown, was injured during training. (via Daily Express)
