Gymnast McKayla Maroney In Skimpy Backyard Bikini Sets A New 'Standard'

Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney had compliments flying in just as soon as she updated her Glowy by McKayla wellness Instagram in July 2022. Absolutely making it a Hot Girl Summer, the former athlete flaunted her stunning figure in skimpy swimwear from her backyard, topping up her tan in the California sunshine and making fans drool with her body. Looking gorgeous as she posed with damp hair, Maroney put an unusual twist on the Fourth of July holiday, posting one day after it and saying that it was a good time to reassess your goals. While some fans did, others couldn't help but comment on McKayla's looks.

Scroll for the photo. Enjoying a suntrap spot as she sat on a cream rug blanket and amid cushions, McKayla showed off her gorgeous curves while also flaunting some mean muscle.

Rocking a two-tone bikini in blue, the brunette drew the eye to her cleavage and gym-honed abs, also flashing her shapely waistline and thighs as she enjoyed the sun.

Wearing barely any makeup as she opted for a natural summery glow, McKayla placed one manicured hand to the blanket, sending her fans a slightly knowing gaze as she exuded confidence. The image opened a gallery, one also including footage of the star's dog, selfie action, plus a snap of cardio gym machines.

"Hope your 4th was fun!🎆💃It’s kind of crazy, but we’re officially half way through this year!!! This is really a good time to asses where you’re at, who you’re becoming, what you’re accepting, what habits you’ve been forming, and what you want moving forward!" McKayla told fans, then outlining all of the ways in which one can concretely look at their lives, take a step back, and refresh their goals.

Fans left the star plenty of comments, with many stunned by her jaw-dropping figure. "You’re so beautiful, god bless you," one fan said, although another went further as they simply called McKayla the "new standard." Thanking McKayla for her informative post, another user told her: "Hey McKayla!!! You’re awesome, thanks for making this page…. What can I do for a better mental health? Any recommendations?"

McKayla joins the list of mental health advocates, one including stars such as Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga.

McKayla drove her 1.4 million Instagram fans wild with this shot as she posed indoors and flaunted her cleavage in a peephole brown dress with a form-fitting finish. Pouting as she showed off her angelic facial features, the Miage Beauty partner wrote: "Didn’t post anything for Halloween but my hair has looked like Jane Jetson for a month now. The person who cuts my bangs wont text me back. Hope your November is starting off blessed."

McKayla Maroney is best known for the London 2012 Olympics. She retired from professional gymnastics in 2016.
