Wow! Top Paralympic Stars Go Completely N*ked Ahead of Rio Games to Smash Stereotypes (Photos)
Posted by Samuel on Fri 02nd Sep, 2016 - tori.ngSome top Paralympic superstars have stripped n*de in support of a popular cause they are pursuing.
Jordanne Whiley
Jordanne Whiley, a Paralympic Tennis star has stripped off to smash stereotypes about Paralympians.
Whiley, 24, of Halesowen, West Mids, will compete at next week’s Rio Games despite brittle bone disease.
According to The Sun UK, the woman revealed that: “I wanted to show people you can do beautiful shoots without being a tall model.
“That’s quite obvious. I’m short, I’m disabled and I’m nowhere near perfection. But I’m very comfortable in my skin.
“I’m healthy and I think that’s what women should strive for – athletes are great role models. Role models should be real people, too. I’m flawed, I’m a normal person.”
Ali Jawad
The Sun UK reports that powerlifter Ali Jawad, 27, will also be representing Team GB at the Games.
He told the magazine: “The emphasis in my event is on bench press. It’s an all-body movement, so you need all-around strength. Not having legs means it’s twice as hard because I don’t have that plant on the floor.
“My core has to be stronger than the average person, and my back has to be strong to support the weight. My best bench is 202kg, which is almost three and a half times my bodyweight of 58kg. If I hit that in Rio, I’ll be looking at a medal.”
Lewis Edwards
Others to look out for in Rio are swimmer and ex-soldier Lewis Edwards, 27, and sprinter Bethany Woodward, 23.
