    Besides supermodels like Kate Upton and Katherine Webb, the Sports Illustrated 2013 Swimsuit Issue features also four world-class athletes that interestingly enough are not involved in the (traditional) aquatic sports. Australian hurdler (and internet sensation) Michelle Jenneke, famed surfer Alana Blanchard, plus Dutch field hockey players Eva de Goede and Ellen Hoog.

    I mean, she is pretty and all that, but that is beside the point :-)


    Here is the video that made her a sensation. 21 million views and counting.

    “Michael Fred Phelps II (born June 30, 1985) is a retired American swimmer and the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a total of 22 medals. Phelps also holds the all-time records for Olympic gold medals (18, double the second highest record holders), Olympic gold medals in individual events (11), and Olympic medals in individual events for a male (13). In winning eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Games, Phelps took the record for the most first-place finishes at any single Olympic Games. Five of those victories were in individual events, tying the single Games record. In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Phelps won four golds and two silver medals, making him the most successful athlete of the Games for the third Olympics in a row.”
