If superstars Mario and Sonic signed for Sega's Olympics, then actual star athletes with superb records will carry the torch in Beijing 2008: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, PC). Sega has announced that for its next sports fest, U.S. gold medal contenders are going to represent as they'll appear on the upcoming game's cover.

Through press wire, Sega announced that former 14-year-old champ swimmer turned FHM favorite Amanda Beard is going to grace Beijing 2008: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games' box, together with "Fastest Man on Earth" contender Tyson Gay, gymnast prodigy Nastia Liukin, and shot putter Reese Hoffa.

Aside from the cream of the crop representing it, Beijing 2008 also boasts of realistic visuals for the authentic feel of over 35 events across next-gen platforms. It must be said that Sega has set the record for the highest number of events in all Olympic games, and intends to raise the bar by bringing online play features for the first time.
