Carol Lewis, the sister of Carl Lewis
Won a silver medal for long jump at the World Championships and holds the U.S. record for two years may be a considerable achievement in the field of athletics.

Eddy Baggio, Roberto Baggio's sister
Italian football player began his career along with his brother in the famous youth team Fiorentina.

Rudy Clay, aka Ali Rahman, the sister of Muhammad Ali

He lost his last match by knockout on the O'Halloran Jack, a boxer who became an actor over the profession and serves as Non (villain of the Kryptonian that stupid) in the first two Superman movies.

Ralf Schumacher, brother of Michael
Many people who criticize Bruno Senna since changed his name so he could get a place in Formula One, but it's not new. The younger brother of seven-time world champion race can play in F1 and last for 11 seasons despite a disappointing performance.
He had had periods of glory - with a hat-trick of victories in 2001 and twice again in 2003 - but at the end of six wins from 180 races is a bad record for the racer who became one of the highest paid stars in the sport, and that often have nice cars on hand.
