The World’s Sexiest Athlete

The “world’s sexiest athlete” she was a gold medalist at 14. Three Olympics later, she’s the former world record holder in the 200-meter breaststroke and a 7-time medalist going for her fourth straight Olympics. She’s also become a quite the sex symbol. In between training for Beijing and posing for magazine shoots, Amanda Beard brainstorms with us on how to make competitive swimming more “risqué,” surveys the field of other sexy athletes.

In a recent interview she was quoted as saying, “I’ve actually talked to my agents a lot about producing my own swim meets where we’d do a couple different swim meets in different locations and mix it up like that — not having your traditional races and having someone like Budweiser or Go Daddy be big sponsors and make it more risqué, make it more fun for the fans to get really into it. That kind of stuff could really draw a lot more people to swimming and then, maybe, they’ll continue watching year-round instead of every four years for the Olympics”.

That July 2007 Playboy cover called Amanda the “world’s sexiest athlete.” as did the August 2006 issue of FHM, and she ESPN’s Hottest Female Athlete in 2005.

The Olympic Dream Come True

She was only 14 when she dazzled the world by winning two silvers and a gold at the 1996 Games, still a teenager when she took bronze at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, and an alluring 22-year-old when she set a new Olympic record in 2004 and arguably became the American face of the Athens Games. Now a model, entrepreneur, and environmental advocate, she’s keeping the dream alive as she aims for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
