She's a sophomore in college and is still 3 feet off what it takes to
win the Olympics. * Most Olympic caliber athletes are pretty much at or
close to their prime by the time they are a sophormore at college. * She
is nowhere near world class.


If you are even a national class miler in college, you should be able to
run a sub 4-minute mile by your freshman year.

* So this chick is going


to have a short career if she doesn't make the 2012 Olympics (which she
won't). *There' ain't no way to be world class at the pole vault unless
you make the Olympci or worlds team. *Otherwise, there's no sustainable
income in this specialty.


Thanks,

IMO, women pole vaulters have the most attractive physiques of all
female athletes. They're generally tall, very lean, and have muscular
upper bodies, torsos, and legs. The event has high demands for
strength, low weight, speed, flexibility, and coordination. Far too
few high schoolers try it here in the US, both men and women.

That first photo of Isinbayeva is beautiful, what a great athlete.

Which means you're either old or dead.

Dumbass, jumping high is 2nd to how good she looks.


She ain't that hot and pole vaulting isn't a sport that will garner her any
media or sponsorships unless she makes the Olympic/worlkds team, which will
not happen for her. *Her looks are irrelevant.


Dumbass -

With young women, looks are never irrelevant.

Example: Anna Kournikova. In her 'prime' she had the most sponsorship
income of any female tennis player despite never being ranked in the
top 10. For a time she was #1 on the most google'd list. The next most
google'd female tennis player was probably #10,000.


Anna K was ranked 7th in the world at one point and a legitimate pro by all
accounts (she won two Grand Slams). She was also in a sport that had
national TV
contracts for over 100 hours/week with the Grand Slam tournaments. It was
reasonable to expect to see Anna play for dozens of hours/year on
nationally televised
networks. Tennis matches last anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours and
only ficus on 2 competitors per program.


Pole vaulting - has none of that and to compare her TV face time to Anna
K means you are just
glossing over the relevant details and trying to fit square pegs into round
holes.

Don't do that again.


Thanks,

Magilla

I had to look that up. Yes, she won the doubles competition at the
Australian Open in 1999 and 2002, paired with Hingis both times.

Made me laugh, from the same page: "This article is about the tennis
player. For the computer virus, see Anna Kournikova (computer virus)."

Kournikova won two women's doubles titles. How hard was that?
Navratilova won two in 2003 at 46 years, 8 months

So much so that Stokke was tainted by the mere comparison.

I can not believe her team and/or sponsors condone her riding without
a helmet.
