Get used to seeing ALOT more photos of Lindsey in 2010 promo stuff for NBC in the coming months, since at this moment in time she IS argueably the premier female athlete that will be heading to the olympics for the entire US olympic team, and I'm not just talking ski team. Add in Shaun White and now you're likely talking the 2 most heavily used US athletes to market the games in the coming months, and I know who of those 2 I'd rather look at ;) :flag:
Don't forget about Hannah Teter and Gretchen Bleiler. ;)

True, but I think that atleast with Hannah Teter, her marketing won't be as mainstream as Lindsey's do to her less "all american girl imagine." Bleiler could get close in some aspects, but Lindsey + her MARRIED, 2 time defending World Cup Overall Champion will likely get as much NBC promo marketing as whatever 15 year old 87lb US girl is our best ice skater. :rolleyes:

Also, I think that Bleiler and Teter's marketing will "suffer" a bit from the fact that hands down, Shaun White will garner the lions share of the "extreme" sport marketing for the Olympics, and while probably not quite as much pre olympic promo for him as Phelps got pre-Beijing, we'll be seeing alot of that red hair I'd imagine.

The other aspect is that Vonn's promos will be more important to her sport than the other athletes'. Figure skating just takes advantage of the existing popularity of the sport, Shaun White is an exceptional athlete, but snowboarding would get good coverage anyways, while Vonn, being young, attractive, and successful in a sport with fading popularity could have more of a Phelps/Woods effect. Not to the same degree that those two have, but it will help out ski racing some. It would be cool if Bloom got back into medal contention level skiing before the Olympics, he's got a story with the whole skiing to football back to skiing thing that could play well.

My dream girl is better than me in every way. I judge myself relative to the population, I strive to be as good as particular individuals. Not being as good a skier as Kearney or Vonn says nothing about you as a skier, because it's true for 99.999972% of the population.

If you're ego's that fragile that it can't handle being around exceptional people, I feel sorry for you.

Just think, with a dream girl that's a really good racer, you'd get to stare at her behind all wrapped up in a GS suit the entire way down the hill (if you could keep up) ;) :)
