Japanese sprinter goes naked to raise funds for paralympics

A 27-year-old sprinter who wants to represent Japan at the London Paralympic Games has stripped off for a calendar showcasing her finely-toned body — complete with prosthetic leg.

Japanese sprinter Maya Nakanishi strikes a pose in the nude for her calendar to raise money to fund her trip to London and to buy a new artificial limb.

Maya Nakanishi is hoping to raise money to fund her trip to London and to buy new a artificial limb.

The calendar, with pictures taken by professional photographer Takao Ochi, shows an unclothed Nakanishi striking tasteful poses that ensure just enough of her body is covered.

Nakanishi said on her official blog she hoped people would enjoy the calendar.

"I don’t regret having become nude. I’m very happy that I was able to show Maya Nakanishi as I am."
