All long limbs and baby blues, Jenna Roberts is the lithe, leggy looker pulling shapes at the gym and in front of the lens. Still buzzing from the euphoria of the Olympics and not quite ready to let it go, Jenna shows us her moves, balancing on beams and bars before a quick stretch, a swing of a leg and swish! it’s behind her ear! Casually sinking into splits for photographer Barbara Anastacio, Jenna is the fully flexible 5’11’’ British babe signed to Select and somersaulting her way into the hearts of the fashion pack with a perfect 10.0.
