Sara Carrigan has no major endorsements from her gold medal and has won
NOTHING since the Olympics. Her career has effectively imploded.

She could walk into the local shopping mall in Sydney and nobody would
recognize her. NOBODY. Where you get "fame and fortune for years" from
this sorry-ass picture is quite inexplicable to me and everyone else.

You are still saying thanks, that doesn't fit for you.

Imagine the mind of someone who believes that "fame and fortune" are nothing
more than public awareness.

"Leontien.nl" is her business, it's a women's magazine and pushing fitness
crap to the telemarketing crowd. Apparently it pays for things. The team
is a development project with only 10 riders, most of them are young
(Blaak is 19), so it should be relatively cheap. Another cost saver: her
husband is both DS & manager.

Why are you playing to that dope? I thought that you were a lot smarter than
to help a fool make everyone else look like a fool.

That's cool.

Don't feed the animals, JT.

There's no fortune in that, but fame in one's own community is cool.

There's almost nothing more pathetic than the guys who were on the high
school varsity football or wrestling team with their letter jackets
still talking about that junk 10-20 years later while they pump gas at
the local CITGO.

That kind of "fame" is bogus because it's small fish in a small pond.

The Olympics is quite a few levels beyond that.

Anybody who craves

C'mon, don't play rhetorical games by adding the "craves" part -- we
don't know that's why she went to want won in the Oympics.

I didn't say that's why they did it...but they crave the attention once they
got it because they think it matters. It doesn't. And they also tend to
exaggerate how much their fans really like them.

****ing bunch of Lief Garretts and David Cassidys.

For a cyclist who wins a gold medal in the Olympics, fame and fortune is quite
dependent on public awareness. Ever hear of somebody called Michael Phelps.

The problem is most cyclists think they are entitled to fame and fortune once
the win a gold medal. They are not.

Correct - I do "make everyone else look like a fool." Thanks for owning up to
it, Tom.

Thanks,

Most women come from affluent upper classes into cycling, so for them
life
is never so bad, regardless.-

that's the part that's so dickish about picking on Liz Hatch's
teeth. * They're very indicative of social class.

What I have noticed is that even a lot of women don't have super great
teeth, although some do. Premium dental work and cometics are extremely
expensive. Since they are young, there is no need. However you see a lot of
yellow teeth. That's because quality bleeching treatments from a good
dentist are both expensive and don't last like Veneers do. Veneers never go
yellow, but they are extremely expensive. More then likely women wait until
they are older to engage in a lot of very costly dental work like crowns and
bridges, inlays and veneers, etc. They simple don't need them when they are
younger, but that stuff never goes yellow like real teeth. While a lot of
girls are from the upper class, they don't have that kind of cash laying
around, or are unwilling to spend it. Insurance often won't pick up most of
the very pricey stuff that adds the right kind of luster for star appeal.
Veneers can cost 15k or more for top and bottom set, and that has nothing to
do with crowns, bridges and inlays. Movie Stars spend untold thousands and
thousands on their teeth, and that doesn't last forever, because at some
point later on, they will also need root canals and replacements. That's big
money.

Good teeth don't always indicate wealth, but bad teeth almost always
indicate poverty.

There's probably a lot of guys out there that think Liz Hatch has the
most ragged teeth they've ever come across.
