To make a point I will share a few things with y'all. I didn't even know how to swim till late last year. It wasn't until I watched the olympics that I even became interested in it. They didn't have swimming where I went to school. You know what caught my attention and what made me sit down to watch swimming? It was how attractive the swimmers were. That may sound shallow but that's the way it is. I'm am now so happy I sat down to watch and got so interested in the sport. I've lost weight and found an activity that I truly love. No,I've never raced and probally never will. I get in the pool and just enjoy myself.
Now to get to the point....I've met the woman who runs BHO and you know what....I'm proud to be a BHO girl. It's my right to admire anyone I want for any reason. I can jump on a plane and travel to see someone compete if I want to. I went to Montreal and watched some incredible races. I can say I was there to see Crocker beat Phelps. Brendan's win over Kitajima was one of the most exciting races I've seen. I saw Katie Hoff finally dominate in the IM's in an international meet just like I knew she could. I got to see many WR's broken in person and I wouldn't change a thing.
Good things do come from these sites. Swimmers deserve recognition just like any other athlete. The more popular a swimmer and the more attention they get means more endorsements. It would be nice to see more swimmers get paid a living for what they do,wouldn't it? There is good and bad with all things. That's all I really wanted to say....sorry so long.
Can I just add....Brendan Hansen is so hotttt! *Squees* ;)
