Martina Navratilova: Won 18 Grand Slam singles tennis titles, 31 major women's doubles titles (an all-time record), and 10 major mixed doubles titles. She reached the Wimbledon singles final 12 times, including nine consecutive years between 1982 and 1990, and won the women's singles title at Wimbledon a record nine times.

Dayron Robles: The Cuban 110m hurdler set a new world record of 12.87 seconds in 2008 while wearing glasses. He also went on to win Olympic gold in Beijing later that year.
