McKayla Maroney’s Latest Provocative Skirt Causes A Stir (Photos)

McKayla Maroney’s Latest Provocative Skirt Causes A Stir (Photos)

McKayla Maroney is one of the most respected gymnasts of her generation.

As a foundational member of the “Fierce Five” at the 2012 Olympic Games, Maroney etched her name into the record books with a gold medal in the team event and silver medal in the individual vault event.

Beyond just enjoying immense success on the mats, though – she entered the cultural zeitgeist like few athletes in her sport have shown the propensity to.

As a result, Maroney continues to be just as relevant in 2022 as she was in her heyday as a gymnast a decade ago.

This week Maroney went viral after posting a series of photos showing off a particularly provocative skirt:

For obvious reasons, it was an instant hit.

This isn’t the first time in recent weeks Maroney has blown up online like this, though. Between her provocative outfit choices, memorable poolside photos and wild Instagram Stories – it has been one thing after another with her.

In addition to all that, Maroney’s massive Instagram following also ensures that just her standard content also gets incredible engagement numbers.

Case in point:

Maroney has really paved the way for a lot of young athletes. These days being an influencer seems like a common path. But when she was doing it, social media wasn’t as big of a thing.

It’s not a stretch to say that Olivia Dunne wouldn’t be pulling million dollar brand deals for taking her shirt off in the LSU locker room if Maroney hadn’t blazed the path first.

Maroney’s impact both on and off the mats is massive.

Hopefully as time goes on, she continues to get the credit she deserves for being something of a trailblazer in the field of gymnastics.
