The Teutonic temptresses are hitting the headlines just in time for the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.

German bobsledder Buckwitz and skeleton racer Flock of Austria both posed nude for the German edition of Playboy’s Olympic issue. The split run features a cover of each athlete.

Reigning champion Buckwitz — who captured gold at the Pyeongchang Winter Games in 2018 — posed and pouted in a silk green blouse that exposed her breasts. The 27-year-old also wore black stilettos and a gold body chain that went around her waist.

Flock, who previously competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, doffed her duds while sitting in a chair and coyly covering her breasts with a fur blanket.

Both said in interviews with the iconic skin mag that they were confident in their “natural bodies” and said women are deserving of that uplifting feeling.

“Every woman can be naked and nobody should be ashamed of her body,” Buckwitz told the magazine. “For example, I have a few more muscles — so what? I wanted to show that this is also a woman’s body. I don’t have to hide as a competitive athlete. No woman has to hide.”

Ten-time world champion Flock, 32, agreed.

“I want to show that a natural body can also be beautiful, one on which nothing is done. I haven’t had any cosmetic surgeries and I stand by what I have,” she said.

“Every woman can be proud of her body. It’s important to have things other than sport on your mind every now and then, I think it could even give me an extra motivation boost.”
