Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman knows that you have to be pretty proud of your bod to post for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, and that’s exactly what she is. <br /><br />But since she’s known as a gymnast before being a swimsuit model, of course she’s taken some criticism for wearing less than a leotard in magazines. <br /><br />She tells Motto magazine, “I did the issue because I love my body. I can express myself in any way that I want… But that doesn’t give anyone the right to judge me. I think being a role model is about being a kind person.” <br /><br />Yeah, you don’t think Aly knows a judge when she sees one? That’s what gymnastics has… Judges. She doesn’t need that from photoshoots too. <br /><br />The 22-year-old tells the magazine, “It really made me realize that women do not have to be modest in order to be respected. <br /><br />C’mon, if anyone knows how to perfectly balance being a role model, it’s Aly, a gold medal winning gymnast. <br />
