Sarah Reinertsen, the first female amputee to complete in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship, is one of six covers for ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue, reports USA Today. Good for her for being bold enough to pose nude for ESPN. She looks great. Another thirty athletes will pose nude inside the issue including NASCAR driver Carl Edwards.

ESPN is sexing things up with its first-ever “Body Issue,” which will feature six covers, each with a different athlete in the nude: mixed martial artist Gina Carano, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards, tennis player Serena Williams, Orlando Magic basketball player Dwight Howard, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, and Sarah Reinertsen, the first amputee to compete in the Ironman Triathlon.

While this could go the way of that other sports magazine’s yearly provocative issue that features women in swimsuits, ESPN‘s special issue seems more like it’s honoring the work athletes put into developing their bodies for peak performance, rather than putting them on display in a sexual way. Though, we’re pretty sure some guys will be excited to see Williams in a new way. Keep reading for a look at triathlete Reinertsen’s cover.
