andygates Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Maya Nakanishi is a Japanese sprinter aiming for the London Paralympics this summer. To raise the cash she needs, she's done a nudie calendar which is really well shot. The combination of being hella buff and showing off her smexy carbon-fibre running blade hasn't been without some comment, apparently...(NSFW links for the usual calendar tasteful skin)http://ajw.asahi.com/article/sports/topics/AJ201203210062http://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/japanese-para-athlete-makes-nude-calendar-to-fundNerd relevance? (quick, before I get accused of just posting random hot chicks and being all objectifyin') My inner transhuman loves these running blades and welcomes our new cyborg overlords. Fitness relevance? Well, like all para-sport, it's all about the overcoming. I detest those motivators that say "this person did this awesome thing with no legs and a swordfish through the liver, what's your excuse?" They're badgering attack ads, no better than the pro-ana ones. But I love seeing these overcomings. Link to comment
