Nicole Reinhardt is one of four Olympic athletes who posed for the German edition of Playboy. Reinhardt and the others posed nude on separate covers of the September issue of the magazine.

Reinhardt is competing for Germany in kayaking. Yes, kayaking is now officially a sexy Olympic sport.

In the new issue Nicole is nude along with Romy Tarangul, Katharine Scholz, and Petra Niemann.

Romy Tarangul, just 20-years-old, has sadly been eliminated from the Judo competition already. Tsk.

Katharina Scholz is a field hockey starlet, and also a WAG of ex-national hockey captain Oliver Hentschel. She isn’t the first German from her discipline to pose in the buff for the popular magazine – the hilariously-named Fanny Rinne also did so prior to the Athens Olympiad.

Petra Niemann is competing in her third Olympiad, and sailing is her game. “I’ve been working hard with my psychologist,” she told Playboy, as if to suggest this had something to do with sport or being naked.

Reinhardt is the Anna Kournikova of kayaking, and now every young girl in America is heading out to Dick’s Sporting Goods to buy a kayak and pasties.

Other Olympic athletes that have appeared nude in Playboy and other places include Reinhardt, Tarangul, Scholz, Niemann, Katharina Witt, Amy Acuff, Bia & Branca Feres, Haley Cope, Rebecca Romera, Amanda Beard (see her nude PETA spread), and several others.
