They are known for being models, in particular for appearing in their swimsuits for Sports Illustrated.
And showing they can do the ‘sporty’ part of the job Genevieve Morton and Jarah Mariano had some fun playing ping pong on Thursday.
Taking to the table dressed in sexy athletic ensembles, the girls batted balls in celebration of the New York City BNP Paribas Showdown at SPiN New York, Susan Sarandon's ping-pong social club.
Game: Jarah Mariano and Genevieve Morton play ping pong ahead of the New York City BNP Paribas Showdown
Hawaiian born Jarah, who has also modelled for Victoria’s Secret, showed off her enviable figure wearing a small pink tennis skirt with a blue sports bra.
Her completely flat stomach was on display, as were her toned and shapely legs – showing exactly why she’s a swimwear model.
The 28-year-old wore her shiny brunette hair loose despite the perhaps unsuitability of wearing it like that when playing sport.
Skill set: Jarah (L) seemed to have the edge over Genevieve (R) as they took to the table
Pink and blue: The women wore pink and blue crop tops and tennis skirts and matching trainers
Not letting her locks get in the way the pretty model flicked her hair back and forth as she got into the game.
Her component South African Genevieve Morton looked a little more prepared for the game wearing her blonde hair tied back in a ponytail.
Genevieve wore matching colours to Jarah, however the crop top was pink while her skirt was baby blue.
Trying hard: Jarah seemed to find Genevieve's playing funny, or she was just trying to look sexy
Leaning: The South African model seemed keen to show off her figure and used the table as her prop
During the game the blonde seemed to get a little scared as Jarah hit balls at her, perhaps proving herself to be the sportier amongst the two.
As they got involved in the game plenty of cleavage was on show, no doubt much to the delight of spectators at SPiN New York in Manhattan.
Both of the beauties were treated to customized paddles for their game featuring pictures of their bikini clad selves on them.
Balls galore: The models seemed delighted as a number of ping pong balls were chucked at them
Bracing themselves: Jarah and Genevieve got ready for the balls to be chucked at them
Model bodies: The girls showed off their enviable figures in their stomach revealing costumes
Clearly delighted with her equipment, Jarah tweeted: ‘So much fun @spinpong for @MSGSportsNYC how cool is my customized paddle?!!’
Genevieve made her rookie debut in the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2010 and has graced the pages of the magazine in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Jarah meanwhile has appeared in the 2008, 2009 Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue as well as starring in a wide range of other campaigns including H&M and Abercrombie & Fitch.
Strike a pose: The models were more than ready to pose having both appeared in Sports Illustrated a number of times
The star, who moved to California at the age of four, may have had an advantage during her game as she is rumoured to be dating Spanish tennis star Fernando Verdasco.
Genevieve and Jarah will throw out first ball at BNP Paribas Showdown at MSG on March 4.
Good sports: The women showed they knew the rules about being polite during the game
