U.S. Olympian and Olympian Ilona Maher was mocked by a viewer on her TikTok video.

Maher is 5 -ft.-10-in and 200 lbs, which is considered “overweight” by BMI standards.

Maher: "I do have a BMI of 30.3 to be exact, but this is actually a fact".

Maher also shut down any notions that her BMI was high due to anything other than muscle with a Sports Illustrated cover shoot in August of 2024 . Um, yeah. Thin and fit are not the same thing. Thank you, Ilona Maher , for the powerful reminder. This article originally appeared last year ..
