Here's a sneak peek from the show this week, and some interesting, little-known facts about the people featured. This time the focus moves to sports legends.

Chris is Tennis' first female superstar, and was the first to cross the million-dollar mark.
Chris won at least one grand slam tournament for 13 consecutive years and a total of 18 in her career; 1,000 single matches and 157 tournament victories rank her second amongst both men and women.
