Team GB Olympic athletes in a campaign to encourage schoolgirls to take up exercise

Three Team GB athletes going for gold in Rio this summer have stripped down to their lingerie to show that a sporty body is a sexy body. 

Windsurfer Bryony Shaw(33), skeet shooter Amber Hill and Paralympian long jumper Stefanie Reid have posed for Bluebella's BeStrongBeBeautiful campaign to encourage young women not to neglect sport at school.

Research has revealed that more than half of secondary school girls drop out of sport after the age of 13 due to body issues and negative experiences of PE lessons

Windsurfer Bryony Shaw claimed a bronze in the women's event on her Olympic debut at London 2012

  

Standing at just 5ft 4ins Bryony Shaw is one of the smallest of the windsurfing fleet, but has formidable upper body strength

Stef Reid(32) is a Paralympic track and field athlete, who competes mainly in the long jump and category T44 sprint events
