Well my dreams have finally come true. Amanda Beard, my all time favorite Olympic swimmer from the 2004 Athens Olympics Games has agreed to pose nude in Playboy. It’s been announced in several places that she will appear in the July issue of Playboy magazine both on the cover and in a pictorial.

She is not new to modeling, having done an FHM shoot in 2004 right around the time of the Olympics and numerous product endorsements since then but this is the first time we will see Amanda Beard naked. As I recall there were quite a bunch of olympians who agreed to pose nude or almost nude in various magazines and calenders ast the last Olympics. I think people were calling it “The Nude Olympics” because of the large number of naked olympians in print at the time. way more than the 2000 Sydney games or the 1996 Atlanta games.

There were about ten or so female olympians who posed nude in Playboy at the time. The issue from memory was called Women Of The Olympics in the same theme as their subsequent women of walmart or women of mcdonalds etc issues.

Anyhow the word on the street is that we will be able to download Amanda Beard in Playboy pictures at the end of the first week of June which is only a few days away from the online edition called Playboys Cyberclub which has the same pictures as the printed issue but comes out several weeks earlier.

I can’t wait! Amanda is even in training hoping for a shot at the 2008 Beijing Olympics can you believe it? That would be her fourth! I hope this trend with top athletes agreeing to pose naked continues as I have a few more girls on my list of wanting to get a closer look at.
