Mohamed Salah named one of world's 100 most influential people by Time

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is one of six TIME 100 cover stars, the magazine's annual list of the world's most influential people.

Other athletes on the list include the NBA's LeBron James, U.S. soccer's Alex Morgan, tennis player Naomi Osaka, middle distance runner Caster Semenya, golfer Tiger Woods, and pro gamer "Ninja" (Richard Tyler Blevins).

 

While this is the first time Salah has featured on the list, Woods -- who won the Masters on Sunday in one of sport's greatest comeback stories -- has featured three times and LA Lakers' James four.

Two-time grand slam champion Osaka, forward Morgan -- who is expected to star in this year's Women's World Cup -- and double Olympic champion Semenya are among a record 48 women on the list
