it was still a bad point because her trip made her way more famous then if she had just finished and won the gold.

unlike the other guy i assumed you just googled that info though.

Damnit TD mobile. I tried to like your post and instead just got downvotes.

It isn't that odd for someone to not know a non-winning track athlete. I guess people on TD assume that everybody gets 225 magazine. And you know it wouldn't be that bad if Lolo wasnt a gold-medal mercenary, who is only doing bobsledding because she couldn't medal in her preferred discipline. Maybe we'll see her on the curling team in one of these next olympics.

I would argue to say she was the biggest. And to the person who said 225 Magazine, Lolo was on the Cover of Time magazine, the front cover of the New York Post, ESPN Magazine, the lead story on ESPN for weeks, Her virginity story was on every talk show, her and Tim Tebow were the main topic of the sports world for weeks. Look, what happened was dirtyauburn made a statement saying he didnt know Lolo. He said it to slight her. He got caught in his lie now he wont back down. I would say 75% of Americans know her or would recognize her, and 100% of sports fans know her

i was leaning towards this too. he thought it would be funny but when it backfired and just made him seem misinformed it was too late to retreat.

I don't know why anyone here takes anything that anybody from the SEC Rant says seriously. Almost all are complete idiots who are only capable of flaming.

You would be in terrible danger. Here is why, almost all men will know her from being the main topic on ESPN for weeks. New York will know her because they did a negative piece on her in The Post which blew up, and the kicker, she has been on Oprah THREE times which means women know her.
