Just a few months after winning big in Rio, U.S. Olympic gymnasts Aly Raisman and Simone Biles are swimming into something new -- by earning perfect 10s as they pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2017.
"I am thrilled to include the gold medal-winning, U.S. women's gymnasts Aly Raisman and Simone Biles in this year's Swimsuit issue," said MJ Day, SI Swimsuit editor. "Aly and Simone represent all that is beautiful and strong and inspiring in women today. Women that are not only elite athletes, that are captivating and impressive in their own professional accomplishments (lots and lots of Olympic gold medals between them), but strikingly sexy and beautiful in front of photographer James Macari's lens. I love seeing them shine in an entirely different way in the Swimsuit issue and being able to share these gorgeous and powerful images with the world. These women, their beauty, and what they can achieve know no limits."
Apparently these sneak peak shots are for the first annual VIBES by Sports Illustrated which is an even that will feature new music, food, models and cultural -- showcasing the best of the best from each category. The event will take place on Friday, Feb. 17 in Houston, Texas.
