Kelly Kulick, the only woman ever to win a PBA Tour title and a three-time PBA Tour exempt player, will be among a select group of athletes who will bare almost all in a "Body We Want" section of the Oct. 7 issue of ESPN the Magazine.
Kulick, the 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions winner, will appear along with gymnast Alicia Sacramone, snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, soccer goalie Hope Solo, NBA star Blake Griffin, New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson and several other athletes who posed nude – discreetly – for ESPN The Magazine's third annual "Body Issue."
All of the athletes will appear naked or barely-clothed (with private parts strategically covered), ESPN The Magazine editor-in-chief Chad Millman told USA Today. It will be the magazine's third "exploration and celebration of the athletic form," he noted.
Other female athletes baring their physiques will be WNBA competitor Sylvia Fowles, LPGA rookie Belen Mozo, track and field star Natasha Hastings, hockey player Julie Chu, tennis player Vera Zvonareva, surfer Steph Gilmore and tattooed roller derby player Suzy Hotrod.
The other male athletes will be speedskater Apolo Ohno, NHL player Ryan Kesler, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, IndyCar racer Helio Castroneves, boxer Sergio Martinez, marathoner Ryan Hall and paralympian Jeremy Campbell.
"In the short time we've been doing it, this is an issue that has become pretty anticipated," says Millman. "In terms of the athletes we've attracted, we feel like the group is really strong."
