In the August issue of FHM magazine, swimmer Amanda Beard was named the world’s sexiest athlete. Beard, who said she plans to compete at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, also revealed she has broken off her year-long romance with race car driver Carl Edwards. “I had liked NASCAR for a long time, but obviously while I was dating Carl I had more of an emotional attachment to it, more of a `please don’t crash and die’ kind of attachment. I was a nervous wreck every race. . . . I’m a really laid-back, chilled-out person. I’m a surfer girl from Southern California, and when you date a race car driver, there’s so much stress. Race car drivers are too intense for me.”
