sports illustrated swimsuit 2011

Last night talk show host David Letterman revealed the identity of the Russian model who is the 2011 sports illustrated cover model. Her name is Irina Shayk and it's her fifth entry in the issue but her first time on the front cover. The news came out by accident yesterday when an office worker took a photo of a billboard where Shayk was on.

"There were 10 models there to do the Top 10 List, and nobody knows until the last minute who the cover will be," Shayk (who is dating soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo) said. "And then I saw it, and I couldn't believe it."The Russian model’s cover was briefly revealed earlier today on a large billboard in New York’s Times Square for a segment to air later tonight on “Late Show with David Letterman.”In addition to her work on the catwalk and in the pages of fashion magazines, Shayk is also known for dating soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

So certainly a treat for the eyes on this years sports illustrated cover and the knowledge of the cover appeared to be a mishap of information.
