LSU Gymnast Alyona Shchennikova Braves The Cold In Her Tiny Bikini

Alyona Shchennikova brought some serious heat to Instagram this week as she stripped down to her bikini in the snow!

Warming up her social media feed with new swimwear snaps, the LSU gymnast put her gym-honed figure on full display for her followers to admire.

The photos showed Shchennikova looking happy and healthy and flashing a whole lot of skin with a snowy wooded landscape behind her.

Striking a pose for the camera, the athlete held up her body as if she was about to sit on a snow-filled back chair. She angled her face sideways while smiling and closing her eyes.

The next picture showed Shchennikova sitting directly on the cold chair while clad in her bikini. Facing the lens, she also tugged on her bikini bottoms as she smiled.

The gymnast then immersed her body in the nearby hot tub. Seated on the edge, the camera focused on her smiling face, with snow adorning her hair and some portions of her eyebrows.

Braving the cold once more and donning beige slippers, Shchennikova struck a side pose with one knee bent and arm raised before returning to the chair. As if feeling the chilly air in her bikini wasn't enough, the gymnast lounged on the snow-covered floor with her arms spread and mouth wide open as she seemingly shouted at the time.

The 22-year-old rocked a ruched baby blue bikini top featuring sunflower prints. Its strapless design highlighted her slender arms and shoulders, while the straight neckline sitting low on her chest bared an ample amount of skin across her décolletage.

Shchennikova paired the upper garment with high-cut bottoms. Boasting a scooped waistline, the swimwear highlighted her taut tummy and abs.

Keeping the distractions minimal, Shchennikova wore her hair up in a bun and sported dainty necklaces with stud earrings as accessories.

She captioned the share, "Baby, it's cold outside."

The sizzling hot share amassed more than 3,500 likes and about 40 comments as fans showered Shchennikova with compliments. While most of them used subtly flirtatious words, others expressed their admiration for the gymnast through emojis.

"So cold yet so hot," noted teammate and SI Swimsuit model Olivia Dunne, while Savannah Schoenherr wrote, "Hot outside when you're there."

A follower remarked, "Girl, you're crazy lol but it looks like so much fun!!!!" and the fourth user expressed, "Pic 3 is especially great."

Last week, Shchennikova shared a series of snaps of herself wearing a plaid mini-dress with white boots while posing on the balcony.

The gymnast wrote in the caption: "Looks like a killa is a cinnamon roll."

As per the definition provided in Urban Dictionary, a "cinnamon roll" is described as a person who exudes sweetness and adorableness.
