Aly Raisman Feels Empowered By Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Shoot – NESN.com

January 19, 2017 by admin

Gymnast Aly Raisman dazzled fans in her two Olympic appearances, but now we’ll get to see a different side of the three-time gold medalist.

The 22-year-old will be appearing in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue, an experience she is quite proud of.

“I loved the photo shoot. It was such an empowering feeling to be so confident and happy with the way I looked,” Raisman told Yahoo. “I work so hard for the body that I have and believe that all women should embrace how beautiful they are, no matter their body type.”

The Massachusetts native doesn’t appear to be concerned about what others say about the shoot, as her opinion is the only one that truly matters.

“I haven’t read my comments recently on social,” Raisman told Yahoo. “I didn’t look at any comments after the SI photo was released because I’m just proud of my hard work. I’m proud of how I look and feel confident, that’s all that matters.”

While Raisman typically ignores comments, she admits she will run into hateful ones from time to time. However, she says she tries her best to ignore them, with the help of her support group.

“In general, if I see a comment that’s hurtful I try to brush it off — easier said than done, though,” she told Yahoo. “I’m a very sensitive person, and sometimes will call my parents or boyfriend, and they always remind me that if I’m happy, a nice person, and have good intentions in my everyday life, then that’s all that matters. As much as I’d like to, I can’t please everyone all the time.”

Aly Raisman, Simone Biles Pose For 2017 SI Swimsuit Photos In This Preview Video – NESN.com

January 10, 2017 by admin

Simone Biles and Aly Raisman should make easy transitions from leotards to swimsuits in 2017.

Sports Illustrated announced Tuesday that the U.S. Olympic gymnastics heroes will appear in its 2017 SI Swimsuit. This year will mark Biles’ and Raisman’s first appearance in SI’s annual swimsuit issue.

SI produced this preview video in which Biles and Raisman pose for photos.

“I am thrilled to include the gold medal-winning, U.S. women’s gymnasts Aly Raisman and Simone Biles in this year’s Swimsuit issue,” SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day said. “Aly and Simone represent all that is beautiful and strong and inspiring in women today. Women that are not only elite athletes, that are captivating and impressive in their own professional accomplishments (lots and lots of Olympic gold medals between them), but strikingly sexy and beautiful in front of photographer James Macari’s lens. I love seeing them shine in an entirely different way in the Swimsuit issue and being able to share these gorgeous and powerful images with the world. These women, their beauty, and what they can achieve know no limits.”

SI hasn’t revealed which other models or athletes will appear in this year’s Swimsuit edition.

The print magazine likely will come out on Feb. 13 or Feb. 20.

FIFA Awards 2016: Cristiano Ronaldo, Carli Lloyd Named ‘The Best’ Soccer Players – NESN.com

January 9, 2017 by admin

1:45 p.m.: It’s time for The Best Women’s Player award.

USA superstar Carli Lloyd is a nominee. She won last year.

1:35 p.m.: Mohd Faiz Subri has won the Puskas Award for this science-law-bending goal.

1:30 p.m.: Brazilian futsal legend Falcao wins the inaugural career award for his indoor exploits.

1:25 p.m.: Ranieri wins in an upset.

Such is the scale of Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League triumph last season that he beat out the winning coaches of the UEFA Champions League and Euro 2016 for “Best Men’s Coach”award.

1:25 p.m.: Here come the heavy hitters.

Diego Maradona will present the men’s coach of the year award. We reckon either Real Madrid’s Zinedine Zidane or Portugal’s Paulo Santos will win. Leicester City’s Claudio Ranieri also is a finalist.

1:20 p.m.: Atletico Nacional of Medillin, Colombia, wins the FIFA Fair Play award for its incredible support of Chapecoense in the wake of the tragic plane crash in December.

1:15 p.m.: Ronaldo and Griezmann are on stage talking about their nomination for the best men’s player award.

Lionel Messi is back in Spain preparing for Barcelona’s game against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday in the Copa del Rey (Spanish cup).

1:05 p.m.: Germany’s Silvia Neid claims the best women’s coach award.

Germany won the gold medal at the Rio Olympics.

1 p.m.: FIFA now will name its men’s and women’s coach of the year.

Jill Ellis is a finalist but she might not win due to Team USA’s debacle at the Rio Olympics.

12:55 p.m.: And the Reds have won it.

12:50 p.m.: Now it’s time for the Fan Award, as voted by the public.

We’re rooting for Liverpool fans, whose rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” on April 14 at Anfield makes our spines tingle to this day.

12:40 p.m.: It’s time for the first award, as FIFA names its World XI, or all-world team. Over 26,000 professional players who belong to FIFpro, a world players’ union, voted on the World XI.

Goalkeeper: Maunel Neuer
Defenders: Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo
Midfielders: Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Andres Iniesta
Forwards: Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo.

They might as well call it the Real Madrid/Barcelona combined dream team (plus Neuer).

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy was on the shortlist for the World XI but the Premier League’s only representative understandably didn’t make the final cut.

12:35 p.m.: Eva Longoria is one of the guest hosts, as the United States apparently continues to flex its muscles at FIFA in all kinds of ways.

12:30 p.m.: Some VIPs of the soccer world are in the house.

Noon ET: For at least a day, FIFA will make headlines for all the right reasons.

World soccer’s governing body will hold its annual awards ceremony on Monday in Zurich, Switzerland, crowning the best players, coaches, fans and goal for 2016. A combined voting process held in November determined the winners, and FIFA will reveal them to the world at a glitzy gala, known formally as “The Best FIFA Football Awards.”

Here are the awards and nominees, via FIFA.com:

  • The Best FIFA Men’s Player Award (Nominees: Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi)
  • The Best FIFA Women’s Player Award (Nominees: Melanie Behringer, Carli Lloyd and Marta)
  • The Best FIFA Men’s Coach Award (Nominees: Claudio Ranieri, Fernando Santos and Zinedine Zidane)
  • The Best FIFA Women’s Coach Award (Nominees: Jill Ellis, Silvia Neid and Pia Sundhage)

“The Best FIFA Football Awards” ceremony will begin at 12:30 p.m. ET. Join us right here for some sights, sounds and news from Zurich.

Ryan Lochte Reveals He’s Going To Be A Dad In Creative Instagram Post – NESN.com

December 15, 2016 by admin

It’s been quite the year for Ryan Lochte.

The U.S. Olympic swimmer has won gold medals, lied about being robbed at gunpoint, gotten engaged and been attacked by hecklers on “Dancing With the Stars” — to name a few things.

But the latest news is good news for Lochte, as the 32-year-old revealed Wednesday he and his fiancée, Kayla Rae Reid, are expecting a child. The couple got creative with the announcement, too.

It appears Lochte and Reid are ready to take the plunge on parenthood.

In the meantime, Lochte will have plenty of free time to spend with his Playboy model fiancée. The six-time Olympic gold medalist reportedly was suspended for 10 months in September and barred from the 2017 world championships as fallout from his robbery incident in Rio de Janeiro.

Ryan Lochte clearly doesn’t know how old his dog is >>
