Ecuadorian swimmer Anicka Delgado didn't win a medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, but she certainly put herself on the map.
Delgado, 22, competed in the 50-meter freestyle. She placed second in her heat before missing the cut for the semifinals. Her following on social media exploded in the summer because of her appearance at the Olympics. After her time in Paris came to an end, she thanked all those who supported her.
"First off, I am overwhelmed with the amount of love and support that I have received over these past couple of days," Delgado said. "Thank you to EVERYONE that I have met along this journey and in my life. Each one of you has left an impact and has helped me to reach my goals. As for my performance, I swam my second best time ever!!! And I could not be more proud of myself for getting here. Over the past two days, rather than feeling nervous and scared, I've felt so much peace. I've enjoyed every single second being here at the games and on this journey. I feel SO blessed to have made it this far. These are moments I will never forget."
Although the Olympics are in the rearview mirror, Delgado is still finding ways to turn heads on social media.
On Monday night, Delgado shared a few photos of her wearing a brown bikini on Instagram along with the caption: "My type of Fall."
Delgado has already left her Instagram followers in awe several times this fall. Just a few weeks ago, she attended the Wisconsin-USC game.
In case you didn't know, Delgado competed collegiately at USC. She's a four-time Pac-12 champion and CSCAA All-American.
Delgado has not announced her plans for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. She has plenty of time to make a decision.
In the meantime, Delgado will be soaking up the sun.
