Aly Raisman and Simone Biles’ Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover is the definition of badass
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue has never looked better. The 2017 issue cover features four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and three-time Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman.
The special issue will be celebrated at the first-ever VIBES festival by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit on February 17 and 18 in Houston. Featuring performances by Diplo and Miguel, a line-up of music and a food festival. Models of the 2017 swimsuit issues will be in attendance.
For the issue, the athletes traded in their leotards for some smoking bikinis, and you can literally see the fruits of their labor: the women are CUT.
Biles, 19 and Raisman, 22, (both members of the gold-medal “Final Five” team at the Rio Olympics) were photographed by SI Swimsuit photographer James Macari.
We seriously cannot deal with how hot these two look.

“Aly and Simone represent all that is beautiful and strong and inspiring in women today,” SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day said in a press release.

“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.”
If ever we needed inspiration to get our asses to the gym, we’ve got it now.
