Team Ossur Athlete Sarah Reinertsen Featured in ESPN

ESPN The Magazine's inaugural “Body Issue,” on newsstands Friday, Oct. 9, will feature nearly 80 athletes from a variety of sports in a celebration and exploration of the athletic form. The issue honors athletes of diverse shapes, sizes, genders and races within the boundaries of taste and frontiers of creativity upon which ESPN The Magazine and ESPN have built their reputations. It is a testament to the work the athletes do, the effort they exert and the price they sometimes pay in reliance on their most important asset – their bodies.

Features in the Body Issue explore the athletic form, inside and out – literally. Body Issue editorial topics include: the largest genetic test of current and former athletes to examine their genetic mapping, athletes’ use of sexuality to promote themselves, a first-hand look at an athlete’s ACL surgery, insuring the athletic body and what video game companies know about the athletic body and the process they go through to create the video game representation of star athletes.

The Body Issue will feature three major photo acts that will feature many elite athletes, including Todd Potter (CTi Mx athlete.) as well as a story on CTi athlete Blake “Bilko” Williams.

ESPN Insider on ESPN.com will host a photo gallery and will feature behind the scenes video from some of the more than 30 photo shoots produced; content will post beginning Wednesday, Oct. 7.

ESPN will be offering a “sneak peek” at the making of the “Body Issue” on e60 tomorrow night. Sarah will also be featured on this show.
