Former Japanese Olympic swimmer strips nude for pool-themed shoot

We recently blogged about an awesome Olympic sports-themed nude photo shoot by several Japanese porn stars.

Now comes the welcome news that former swimmer Miku Kojima (小嶋美紅) has posed fully nude for a photo book. while a teenager, Kojima formerly represented Japan in swimming in such competitions as the 100-meter relay and 200-meter medley. She took part in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, forming part of the team that won a bronze medal in the 400-meter mixed medley relay, but was not able to channel her ambitions further to the 2020/21 Olympics held in her native country.

Instead, it seems, she decided to strip nude.

Shot in a pool, the photos truly showcase her toned and athletic body as well as her generous bust and girl-next-door smile.

Now 21 years old, Miku Kojima joins a growing list of Japanese female athletes who have exploited their fame and impressive physiques for nude shoots. Past examples include boxers Riyako Goshi and Tomomi Takano, snowboarder Mero Imai, gymnast Risa Izumi, and para-athlete Maya Nakanishi.
