It is already a traditional advertisement for the Olympic Games in a light-hearted way. The German edition of Playboy magazine has again prepared its special 30 most beautiful Olympic stars, in which, on one hundred pages, it recalls sportswomen who have presented themselves naked in previous years.
German ski jumping representative Juliane Seyfarth is in the media spotlight shortly before her third Olympics – thanks to her current appearance in a special issue of Playboy magazine. And right on the cover.
Special titled “30 Most Beautiful Olympic Stars” offers a selection of photographs of women who have appeared in German in the past Playboyi. This tradition goes back several years and includes other well-known German sportswomen who posed for the magazine when their sports career opened the door to the international scene.
Juliane Seyfarth, who is well known in the world of ski jumping, was photographed for the March issue in 2021 and later presented her photos via social media. Fan reactions have been largely positive, according to available information. “The reaction to those photos is still coming today. They are very positive. People love the pictures and especially appreciate the creativity,” claims Seyfarth today.
Other Olympians have also photographed for German Playboy in the past. They include, for example, diver Christin Steuerová, bobsledder Lisa Buckwitzová or field hockey player Katharina Scholzová or canoeist Nicole Reinhardtová.
In interviews and in the media, there are different opinions about what such undressing for the media means for female athletes. Some of them see it as a form of self-expression and celebration of female power, others as part of a wider strategy to make women’s sports visible in mainstream culture.
“”I’m so happy to be on the cover. I feel really honored,” says Seyfarth, who says she still receives positive reactions from fans. “It was a short winter trip to the beach, really cool. The pictures with the glitter or the basketball, which you don’t see that often, were really special.” he remembers the photo shoot at that time.
Maybe she is fulfilling two dreams at once. In addition to the prestigious cover, further participation in the Games. “The Olympics is incredibly amazing because now I’ve qualified for the third time,” narrates.
Will they dazzle on the Italian bridges as well as during the photo shoot?
