Melbourne, July 12 (ANI): Swimmer Stephanie Rice has once again taken to Twitter to flaunt her toned body, this time in a skimpy blue bikini, ahead of the London Olympics later this month.

The uploaded picture shows the Australian relaxing and working on her tan with the caption tough life.

German Olympic swimmer Thomas Rupparth was quick to comment: Enjoy the time. Hope you're fit for London, the Herald Sun reported.

In the past, the golden girl has landed herself in hot water for posting racy images of herself on social networking sites.

She caused a media storm with her most recent tweet on June 23 that was also in a bikini.

And in 2008, she caused a stir when a photo of her donning a policewoman's costume that she uploaded on Facebook. (ANI)
