Ilona Maher Displays Steamy Thirst Trap Despite Serious Injury

Professional Rugby player Ilona Maher won innumerable fans while competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics last summer. She gained even more after agreeing to compete on Dancing With The Stars Season 33. Viewers around the world fell in love with her relatable personality and hilarious videos.

More than that, fans grew to adore her confidence and willingness to inspire others.

After coming in second place during Season 33, Ilona resumed her pro Rugby career. She traveled to England to compete with the Bristol Bears. Her first match was so popular that the team had to relocate to a bigger venue. 

Sadly, she sustained a wildly painful injury during a recent match. But even that hasn’t stopped her from sharing cute photos online. Read on to get the scoop.

Ilona Maher Turns Heads With Her Stunning New Bikini Photos

Fans know that Ilona Maher has never shied away from an opportunity to shine. She’s tremendously proud of her Sports Illustrated photoshoot and wants to show others it’s perfectly fine to be proud of their body and accomplishments.

As TV Shows Ace previously shared, Ilona Maher suffered a broken nose while playing professional Rugby in the UK. While delighted to be part of the Bristol Bears, she felt less than enthused about the painful injury.

Nevertheless, she kept her social media audience laughing by poking fun at the situation.

Even though she doesn’t feel the best, Ilona wants to show her followers she’s doing better.

“Sweating it out,” the Olympic bronze medalist shared on Instagram. In the photos, Ilona is posed seductively in a sauna, wearing a revealing yellow bikini that shows off her muscles. Her nose appears a bit swollen following her Rugby injury, but her Instagram followers hardly noticed.

“Thirst trapping us @ilonamaher ❤️🔥” DWTS pro Emma Slater wrote in the comments. 

Other Instagram users agreed the two photos were phenomenal, flooding the comment section with compliments for the Rugby player.

They wrote:

• “Weird way to propose but the answer is yes 👰‍♀️💍”
• “Will putting my phone in rice make it cool down faster or….🌡️🥵🔥”
• “THANK YOU ILONA 🫶🏼”
