PARALYMPIC ATHLETES BARE IT ALL IN NEW AD-CAMPAIGN AGAINST STEREOTYPE AHEAD OF RIO 2016 PARALYMPICS

These paralympic athletes in a bid against stereotype before, during and after the Rio 2016 Paralympics went completely nude to create awareness for the beauty of sport irrespective of the performer and also to create awareness for handicapped individuals worldwide...
The Paralympics event at Rio, Brazil starts next week.

Tennis ace Jordanne Whiley, 24, of Halesowen, West Mids said to Sport Magazine:

"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." 

Power-lifter Ali Jawad, 27, representing Team Great Britain said to 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 my weight. My best bench is 202kg, which is almost three and a half times my body weight of 58kg. If I hit that Rio, I'll be looking at a medal." 

The magazine will feature a nude image of sportperson each week over the duration of the Rio 2016 Paralympics.
