McKayla Maroney’s Provocative Poolside Video Goes Viral

McKayla Maroney’s Provocative Poolside Video Goes Viral

McKayla Maroney achieved worldwide prominence in the early 2010s as an instrumental part of Team USA’s national gymnastics team.

As an irreplaceable component of the “Fierce Five” squad, she took home gold in the team event and silver in the vault at the London Games.

Between her undeniable talent and fiery attitude, Maroney became a cultural sensation. That fame and adoration carried over to her post-gymnastics career, as she effortlessly transitioned into being a very successful influencer.

Presently, Maroney boasts more than 1.4 million followers on Instagram. And because of that, any time she posts anything – it immediately goes viral. Case in point, a recent poolside video she published that set the web ablaze:

This isn’t the first time in recent months Maroney has broken through all the online noise and set the internet on fire.

Whether it’s her racy Easter celebration pics, provocative Valentine’s Day photo snaps or notable video content, the 26-year-old never has trouble going viral.

Plus, there are just her general Instagram posts:

As well as her TikToks:

It would be easy to dismiss Maroney’s success as unimpressive, but the reality is that few have been able to transition from athlete to influencer in the way she has.

When Maroney’s former teammate Aly Raisman’s at one point tried to post provocative content, it just didn’t hit the same. The authenticity and genuineness just wasn’t right.

There is an art involved here – and Maroney has mastered it fully.

What will the gymnastics legend ultimately go viral for next?

Time will tell.
