If you’ve been sitting around wondering whether or not you should watch the Beijing Olympic games this summer I give you a few reasons to at least set the DVR to record a few events. Amanda Beard, whom FHM Magazine dubbed the “Tiger Woods of Swimming” has yet again proven she’s not only smoking hot but still has the curves to get it done in the pool, earning a spot on the 2008 Olympic Swim Team.

Before a thunderous crowd of 13,247 red, white and blue-clad spectators, Beard, 26, completed another unlikely comeback to finish second in the 200-meter breaststroke and qualify for her fourth consecutive U.S. Olympic team.

Beard wasn’t expected to make this team, so it’ll be interesting to see how she does. After being favored for Gold in 2004 things will be a little harder this time. But with 7 Olympic medals to her credit and arguably one of the best female swimmers of all time, it should be fun to watch. Still need some persuasion, here’s 14 more reason’s to watch.
