"Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, 21, who won three medals for Team USA at the 2012 Games, has once again solidified her title as one of the country's top athletes, as she joins a host of sportsmen and women in posing nude for ESPN's famous Body issue, showing off her incredibly muscular form while taking on tough gymanstic poses - all while in the buff.
'Instead of being insecure about my muscles, I've learned to love them,' Aly told the magazine. 'I don't even think of it as a flaw anymore because it's made me into the athlete that I am.'
Speaking to the magazine, Aly revealed that this fact has somewhat taken away from her other Olympic triumphs thanks to her perfectionist nature.
'That kind of pisses me off -- I always think that it's never good enough. I almost fell and put my hand down; it was stupid, I never make that mistake on the beam,' she said.
'I'll have a second chance at it, but I think about it all the time. I wish I didn't have to learn that valuable lesson at the Olympics.'
