I think Beard just got the general 'also swimming in this heat' because she's not really a contender in the 100 BR, and they already had the Hardy-Soni storyline planned for the event as well as a discussion of Breeja Larson's good form to cover. They'll probably say more in the 200 BR where she's got a better shot.
I agree with this and there will be a big storyline about Amanda in the 200 ***. Now anybody out there correct me if I am wrong, but Amanda Beard, if she makes the team in the 200 ***, will be the first USA Women to make 5 consecutive Olympic Teams. Dara has made more but not consecutively. She might be the first Women to do this but I am not up on other countries Olympians and there is probably someone that has made more. For that reason and that reason alone, that should create a good story line. This will only be possible if she makes the final of the 200 ***.
In 2008, Amanda Beard upset Catlin Leverenz for that second spot in the 200 *** where no gave her a chance so she has a shot. The way Leverenz swam the IM you would think not but then Leverenz did'nt swim a good 100 *** so you never know.
