Two USA Triathlon members - U.S. Paralympic Triathlon Team qualifier Allysa Seely and amateur Duathlon World Championships competitor Chris Mosier - are among the 19 athletes featured in ESPN the Magazine's eighth annual Body Issue.
The full roster of athletes included in the July issue of ESPN the Magazine was announced by ESPN this week, and Seely and Mosier join the likes of Nathan Adrian (swimming), Adeline Gray (wrestling), Greg Louganis (diving) and others from the NFL, NBA and other Olympic sports. The issue will be available online beginning July 6 and hits newsstands July 8.
Seely (Glendale, Ariz.) is the reigning paratriathlon world champion in the PT2 sport class and qualified for a spot on the first-ever U.S. Paralympic Triathlon Team in March. Seely will compete in Rio on Sept. 11 as paratriathlon makes its Paralympic Games debut. In addition to her world title at the 2015 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships on Sept. 18, 2015, Seely also won the PT2 sport class at the Yokohama ITU World Paratriathlon Event on May 14 and the Edmonton ITU World Paratriathlon event last August.
Mosier (New York, N.Y.) recently represented the U.S. at the ITU Sprint Duathlon World Championships as part of USA Triathlon's Team USA, comprised of the nation's top amateur multisport athletes who represent the U.S. at each ITU World Championships event. Mosier became the first known transgender athlete to qualify for a world championships team and has also qualified to compete at the 2017 ITU Long Distance Duathlon World Championships. Mosier is the first transgender athlete to appear in ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue.
