Remember the female Olympic runner who started the style of running with long painted nails, heavy make-up and gold necklaces? I don't think she was criticized for that. I felt the media was intrusive this year, and especially obnoxious in the interview after the African American speed skater won his gold. He was clearly preoccupied and trying to maintain his decorum while the reporter sarcastically stated that he didn't look very happy. Then there was one commentator for female ice skaters that sounded like nasty Simon Cowell from American Idol.<BR/>I have nothing but admiration for athletes at that level, and when I remember how young some of them are, and the amount of pressure they are under, succeeding and failing, making mistakes for all the world to see, I am humbled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904950.post-1141316287064595132006-03-02T10:18:00.000-06:002006-03-02T10:18:00.000-06:00Somehow, I actually missed teh winter olympics thi...Somehow, I actually missed teh winter olympics this year.
