Seven-time Olympic medalist turns model (PHOTOS)

Thirty-year-old former American swimmer Amanda Ray Beard—who is a double Olympic champion, a five-time winner, a world champion, and a former world record holder in the 200-meter breaststroke (long course)—is achieving success in her modeling career, too.       

Her husband is photographer Sacha Brown, and he photographs his wife for FHM, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and Playboy magazines.   

To note, Amanda Ray Beard competed in the 1996 Atlanta, 2000 Sydney, 2004 Athens, and 2008 Beijing Olympics.  Beard became the second-youngest Olympic medalist in American swimming history when she won three medals in Atlanta—one gold and two silver.
