Us gay guys might have missed the July 2007 issue of Playboy in which Amanda Beard posed for but us swim fans watched in awe of her back when she was just 14 years old competing in the Atlanta Olympics.  Then again when she won even more medals four years later in Sydney and then again four years later in Athens.

Over the years she has won seven medals in the 100 meter and 200 meter breaststroke and a gold in a medley relay.  This year she'll be once again competing in the breaststroke hoping to take home more precocious medal.  Besides winning in the pool, posing in Playboy, Beard is one of the GoDaddy Girls and speaks out against the killing of sharks by the fishing industry.  Check out a few of Beard's commercials:
