Aly Raisman was photographed by James Macari in Houston, Texas.

Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman traded her red, white and blue Team USA leotards for striking and funky bikinis during her SI Swimsuit debut in 2017. The 29-year-old was photographed by James Macari in Houston for her rookie feature, and returned to the magazine the following year for a breathtaking beach photoshoot in Aruba. 

The Massachusetts native double-dipped during her sophomore year with the brand and participated in a special and powerful in-studio project called “In Her Own Words” with Taylor Ballantyne in New York City.

“I put a lot of thought into the words I put on my body, where I wanted to place them,” Raisman said, and added how her experience with the brand impacted her. “I truly believe [SI Swimsuit] sends a really important message that women don’t have to be modest to be respected. This year is extra special for me because I want people to understand you can be sexy. You can wear whatever you want. You can still be powerful. You can still have a voice. You can still advocate for change. You can still be a good person. You can still be respected. No matter what you’re wearing. A lot of people are supportive of that but there are still people who don’t understand that and I think it’s important to further the conversation and talk about it.”

Below are five stunning and incredibly impressive photos of the six-time Olympic medalist in Houston.
