My heart goes out to Katie Hoff. In Athens, she was not able to do as well as she could. Now here in Beijing, same thing. She can and has shown she is a world beater, a world record holder but she is having an off time in Beijing. I hope she doesnt give up swimming.
Apparently Leisel Jones seriously considered giving up swimming after Athens because of not being able to get that elusive gold in Sydney or at Athens.
But she didnt and history was written.
I hope that Katie will continue, but I hope she shortens her programme next time so that she can take sure gold in some events rather than attempt a "Michael Phelps."

Yeah, I would bet that, right now, Hoff doesn't give a toss about any alleged cosmetic contract.
She is a professional swimmer and elected not to swim in college at all to become one. If by "right now," you mean this very moment that is probably true. But clearly she is concerned about her ability to make money in the sport.
