Five months after turning heads in Rio as a part of the Final Five, U.S. Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles and Aly Raisman are ditching their leotards for bikinis. 

That's right, folks — Aly and Simone are officially a part of SI Swimsuit 2017. Talk about a perfect 10!

Suit: Mikoh, available at Shopbop, Top: $112; Bottoms: $90

"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."

Shot at the North Houston Skate Park and The Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden, these sneak-peak photos by James Macari feature the newest ladies of SI Swimsuit against the backdrop for the first annual VIBES by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. The new music, food and culture festival will showcase the best of the best from each category at Post HTX in downtown Houston. Information for the event can be found at SI.com/SwimsuitVibes.
