Meet the young woman who was chosen to pose in the magazine's swimsuit issue.

This year the Sport Ilustrated Swimsuit edition has brought several surprises. And it is that in the pages of this special edition there are not only some of the most beautiful models in the world, including the plus-size ones, and the third black woman who adorns the cover, but also includes in the edition a the first paralympic athlete to be chosen to pose for the magazine in a swimsuit.

It's about Brenna Huckaby, the 22-year-old from Utah, a snowboarder champion, left the snow-covered mountains for a moment to go to Aruba to pose with a tiny bikini and charm everyone with her charisma.

“I was very excited to have the opportunity to pose for Sport Illustrated. When they called me to give me the news, I jumped in my room for an hour because I was very happy, "Huckaby said in an interview with the magazine. “I had never seen myself as someone sexy until I had my daughter Lilah. That's when I felt comfortable wearing a swimsuit without shorts."

Although she was very nervous when taking the photos and showing her sexiest side, Huckaby was very happy with the result of the sessions and hopes to be an example for other women like her.

“I hope women feel empowered with [the photos]. Everyone should feel sexy no matter what their body looks like. When you feel good in your own skin, it shows, "she assured. "I see it as an opportunity to inspire others. It is very rare or almost impossible to see a disabled woman posing in a swimsuit. I want other women, regardless of their figure, to also feel powerful and sexy.”
