Crystal Dunn, USA Soccer

Here is one of the eight athletes you probably don’t know who haven’t yet shown their skills on the gigantic Olympics stage.  They will. Don’t say we didn’t give you the heads-up! [See below for the others on our list.]

Dunn feels her time is now as she just missed making the roster for the 2015 Women’s World Cup team. The 24-year-old forward has taken her game to another level and she has become second only to Alex Morgan with 10 goals this year — most notably scoring five times in a 10-0 rout of Puerto Rico in the Olympic qualifying tournament.
