Emma Coburn To Appear In ESPN Body Issue
Olympic steeplechaser Emma Coburn is set to join a roster of world class athletes for this year's installment of ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue.

Among the 19 athletes who will strip down for the magazine, Coburn will pose alongside Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta, NBA veteran Dwyane Wade, and the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, who recently enjoyed a stint on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars." 




Last year, Amanda Bingson, the U.S. hammer throw record-holder, was featured in 2015's Body Issue.

Other track and field stars like Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete Ashton Eaton, hurdler Lolo Jones, sprinter Walter Dix, and marathoner Ryan Hall have also graced the pages of past Body Issues, but Coburn will be the first female distance runner to feature her physique.

The eighth edition of the issue featuring raw, artistic photographs of elite athletes baring it all will be revealed July 6—the day after the Olympic Trials 3000m steeplechase final that Coburn is favored to win.
