Nude photos of Ineta Radēviča, NCAA champion and European U23 bronze medalist in long jump (18﹢)

The beautiful and successful Latvian long jumper Ineta Radēviča (pictured) was elected president of the Latvian Athletics Association last week, but in an interview, she revealed that an old photo shoot for “Playboy” magazine played a significant role in her successful career.

Radēviča is considered one of the most beautiful representatives of Latvian sports, but 13 years ago, she delighted her fans with a candid nude photo session for the American magazine Playboy, which also brought her recognition.

Now, in an interview with “Privātā Dzīve” magazine, she revealed that the decision to pose nude played a big role in her life, and if she were to receive such an offer now, she would agree to it.

“In a way, this photo shoot allowed me to become who I am today. It gave me financial security for a long time, and I was able to stay in sports. That’s why I would say yes,” the athlete revealed.

She added that it is always important to have a reason for taking such a step. She wanted to show that sports can be beautiful and to encourage girls who don’t go into sports because they think it’s too masculine of a field.

It should be noted that Radēviča is married to Russian hockey player Pyotr Shchastlivy and is raising two children—a son, Marks, and a daughter, Amēlija.
