She was holding her toddler in her arms after competing - and the interview didn't even mention the child, or the relationship. It was all about the sport. I immediately thought of your post.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-1090987868103745032012-08-02T12:00:20.359-04:002012-08-02T12:00:20.359-04:00Before I even read that article in Salon, I watche...Before I even read that article in Salon, I watched an interview with the 2 American beach volleyball players. While I was watching, all I could think was, "shut up about her being a mom already!!!" They were even asking her volleyball teammate more about that than the sport! So, then seeing the article in Salon validated me a bit. :) Note they don't interview the male players on how they handle their sport and family...<br /><br />Enjoy your long weekend!ms.

There was another article on Salon yesterday about an American living in Britain who was marvelling over how much better the BBC coverage was. http://www.salon.com/2012/08/01/ryan_seacrest_youve_been_replaced/<br /><br />Coming in to work today, I paused briefly to watch the screens in the concourse. There was an ad for PetroCanada, which ended with a tagline about "moms & dads" (of Olympians). At least poor old Dad got some recognition with this one. ; )loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-46842503609644574152012-08-02T00:44:59.945-04:002012-08-02T00:44:59.945-04:00Glad you're enjoying the Olympics.

It really struck me the other day, that right now, people in pretty much every country in the world are aware that the Olympics are on, that the entire planet is united in playing games together. I really like that.<br /><br />The Salon article was a good one too. Thank goodness we haven't had that sort of coverage here.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
