Aly Raisman steps out in a sparkly dress at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2018 Launch Event held at Magic Hour at Moxy Times Square on Wednesday night (February 14) in New York City.

The two-time Olympic gymnast poses in nothing but words in the annual issue, and hopes to empower women through it.

“Women can be intelligent, fierce, sexy, powerful, strong, advocates for change while wearing what makes them feel best,” Aly shared with the pic on Instagram.

She adds, “The time where women are taught to be ashamed of their bodies is OVER. The female body is beautiful and we should all be proud of who we are, inside and out.”

Aly Raisman has been in the spotlight for a while with the 2014 and 2016 Summer Olympic Games — but lately, she’s been there as a voice for the gymnastics community about sexual abuse going on.

In a new interview with People, the gymnast is putting more of her thoughts and energy to sexual abuse in the system, than concentrating on the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

“I’ve been to two Olympic Games, and I love gymnastics so much,” she shared. “I love the Olympics and being able to represent my country. But with everything going on right now, I realize that this is more important than any gold medal. My main focus is fixing this organization and getting to the bottom of what happened.”

Aly, who was team captain in London and Rio, was one of Larry Nassar‘s victims, the former physician for the US Gymnastics teams.

“I felt very strong,” she says of how she felt after her testimony. “I felt like I had so much I wanted to say. You never really want to say, ‘I was sexually abused, but you have to process it. You can’t push it aside forever, which is what I did for a long time. I’m still processing it and coping with it.”

Aly adds, “I’m just starting to realize how strong I am and I won’t be silenced.”

Aly Raisman was one of over 150 women who spoke at former doctor Larry Nassar hearing last week, reading a victim impact statement that he didn’t want to hear.

Now, the Olympic medalist, is opening up in several interviews about what it felt like to speak in court, where he was sitting only feet away from her.

“In that moment, I almost felt like I was going to compete, because at the Olympics, you block out everything, and in that moment, I blocked out everything,” Aly shared with Today on Thursday (January 25). “I forgot that people were watching me, I forgot the media was over there, I forgot that Larry was right there. I just spoke, and I felt like I really had to be strong.”

While she did prep for the hearing, Aly still felt sick after her speech.

“I almost passed out [after giving testimony],” she shared. “I had the worst headache for hours. Even since then – I still don’t feel good now…It’s hard to put into words, but it makes me literally sick, all the stress and the trauma of everything.”

She adds, “For that moment, I had to be strong. But I’m very, very exhausted from it.”

Aly is also pictured at The View, telling her story to the hosts of the program there on Friday (January 26).
