Paralympians undressed for a photo shoot to prove that any body is beautiful
Four British Paralympic athletes took off naked to declare their attitude to the beauty of the body. Tennis star Jordan Wiley, swimmer Lewis Edwards, sprinter Bethy Woodward and powerlifter Ali Javad took part in a photo shoot for Sport magazine.
Tennis player Jordan Wiley shared that, for example, she personally just wanted to demonstrate to people that it's not necessary to be a model to get great pictures.

Jordan is one of the most successful British tennis players. The 27-year-old athlete has the "crystal man" disease, or osteogenesis imperfecta — increased bone fragility.

Her parents settled on 26. Jordan Wiley: "I'm far from perfect, but I'm comfortable in my body."
27-year-old Ali Javad, a powerlifting athlete, was born without legs. At the age of 16, he started playing sports, and now his dream is to take a medal at the Paralympic Games in Rio by doing a bench press of a weight that is three and a half times his own — 58 kg.

However, after surgery to remove a small part of the intestine, the athlete went to the Paralympic Games in London.
23-year-old sprinter Bethy Woodward, winner of silver at the London Paralympic Games, also starred nude and showed a stunning figure. Beti has cerebral palsy.
Former soldier Lewis Edwards lost part of his arm in a car accident a few days before his first trip to Iraq.
Lewis believes that it was sport that gave him a second chance at life after an injury.
