In celebration of U.S. Vogue's Olympic-themed June cover, the magazine has released a behind-the-scenes video showing the elaborate sets that were used to make photographer Annie Leibovitz's vision come to life.
Swimmer Ryan Lochte is captured swimming on a sheet of plastic, while soccer star Hope Solo and tennis champion Serena Williams giggle as they stride down a Miami beach.
A highlight is watching the serious-faced Ashton Eaton as he hurdles over a floating Karlie Kloss.

The 24-year-old Olympic decathlon hopeful joked in the candid video: 'Hurdling over a supermodel in the water, not what you do every day'.
The video also highlights the incredible digital post-production that goes into a Vogue shoot.
Many of the images in the Olympic feature consist of two action shots, one of the star athletes, and one of Ms Kloss, which are then re-worked and put together to create effortless looking portraits.
Filming the Olympic gold hopefuls as they swim, jump, serve, and run with Ms Kloss, the heartwarming video also captures the graciousness of each athlete.

Ms Williams said: 'Working with Ryan and Hope was really cool. Having such great athletes and amazing Olympic gold medal hopefuls, and bringing us all together, is really awesome.'
The athlete's also had messages for young sporting hopefuls, and touched on how they got into the business.
While Ms Williams' dad started her on tennis at the age of three, basketballer Dwyane Wade revealed: 'My father put the ball in my hand and kind of said, go play.
Mr Lochte offered: 'My dad was a swim coach when I was growing up.'

Gymnast Johnathan Horton also had words of advice: 'There have been days when I've just been down in the dumps. But it was worth it to me and worth fighting every bit of effort that I had.
'Once I realised, wow, I can make the Olympics, my confidence level changed. Believing is a big part of it. If it's important to you, its worth fighting for,' he added.
Mr Eaton admitted he sometimes questions his profession as a decathlete.

He said: 'Sometimes in competition I get so nervous, and the event is so long, I'm like, ah, why am I am doing this again?
'But then I do something like preparing for the Olympics, and I'm like, alright, this makes sense now. Being an athlete is so cool.'
