Oh, Come ON!!!
I watched to interviews with Sasha Cohen today. I couldn't help but think as she was putting on her big smile and her lil' speech, "oh, you know I just enjoy the sport, its not about the color of the medal", that I wanted her to say, "you know what it SUCKS. I can't believe a moment in time I worked so hard on..." LOL You know sometimes it would be nice to see that. To know that when you are looking at one of your moments in time where you failed big time and to see someone pubicly say, it SUCKS when you fail. Maybe that is just me, but I'm kind of tired of seeing us dress up "failure".

maybe what you picked up on was that what she said really wasn't true, that she really did want to scream in frustration.
the contrary part of me says, what if she means it? i mean, when i compete i give it everything i have. i come up short, but feel so darn good about it...i was good enough to get there! i learned so much on the way! it was such a huge thrill and wonderful experience and tremendous privilege!!!! it's awesome!!! unbelievable!! now i know where i need to work to be even better!!!!!!!! or maybe that's just me
but don't you feel that way when you sing? just thrilled to death to even have the chance?
everescently, disgustingly, happily, cheerily yours,
ann p.s. good to have you back!
I hear you! I've thought the exact same thing. It is hard for me to swallow that something that has been woven into every part of her being since she was a child... That people have expected big things of... That has an ultimate goal that ends in gold... can be blown off like that. I hope she does mean it, but I sure ain't buyin' what she's sellin'.
