Body Language
Sports take, and make, all kinds of bodies, from tiny to
towering, from buff to beefy. On this and the next two spreads
are 72 of the 130 men and women--swimmers and shot-putters,
jumpers and jockeys, powerlifters and point guards, runners and
rhythmic gymnasts, a flyweight and a sumo--photographed by
Howard Schatz for his book Athlete, published this month by
HarperCollins.
