Stephanie rice new

An Australian swimmer who will compete in the London 2012 Olympics has Tweeted a photograph of herself in a racy bikini.

Stephanie Rice, who will defend her 200m and 400m Olympic titles this summer, posted the flattering shot after receiving the suit as a birthday gift from the designer Ellie Gonsalves.As well as admiration of the picture, there were questions as to whether the 24-year-old, who used to endorse Speedo, was officially backing Gonsalves’ work.

But the three-time Olympic gold medallist’s manager told the Herald Sun: “No, Stephanie isn’t an ambassador for Ellie Gonsalves, she just loves their stuff.”He added: “She doesn’t have any relationship with Speedo anymore so there are no restrictions there."OK, good to know. Anyhoo, here are more pictures of Stephanie Rice looking hot

A month before making literal waves in a London swimming pool at the 2012 Olympics, Australian Stephanie Rice is making figurative ones for a photo she recently posted on Twitter.The three-time gold medalist snapped a shot of herself in a bikini this week, showing off both her body and a birthday gift from designer Ellie Gonsalves. Simple and harmless, right? Not to some of Rice's followers.


"i feel that stephanie rice posting a photo of herself in swimwear has brought disgrace to the australian swim team and she should be dropped," wrote one Twitter user, presumably taking issue with Rice for... okay, we have no idea.Showing more skin here than she does while donning official Olympic attire? The nerve!

Stephanie Rice is no stranger to somewhat racy Twitter photos, as evidenced by this picture of herself as a police officer.She was also once rumored to be dating Michael Phelps, which would be less scandalous than perfectly understandable from both points of view.So, in conclusion: Team Stephanie Rice in a Bikini!
