Professional athletes have awe aspiring bodies (it comes with the job description), and to celebrate the sex appeal of the beautiful and the talented, ESPN The Magazine released “The Body Issue” that features athletes showing off their money makers with strategically-placed props from their respective sports. 

Surfing’s own Claire Bevilacqua, 26, posed topless (long blonde hair laying over her chest) for a centerfold, shown carrying her surfboard on her head walking down the beach. The shot of the stunning Aussie woman introduced the Body Issue, followed by a profile page of Claire standing in front of her board bearing her tight stomach, strong arms and dynamically cut muscle- enough to make any non-believer of women’s athletics bit their tongue. 

The worldwide leader in sports produced the special issue as “a celebration and an exploration of the athletic form,” including Triathlete Sarah Reinertsen, 34, Tennis Player Serena Williams, 28, Table Tennis Player Biba Golic, 31, U.S. Soccer’s inked hottie Natasha Kai, 26, Olympic Shot Putter Michelle Carter, 24, Climber Steph Davis, 36, Olympic Rower Susan Francia, 26, Olympic Hurdler Lolo Jones, 27, and Mixed Martial Artist Gina Carano, 27.
