Announcement to come shortly. Do you think she'll medal in Paris?
She used to easily win triathlons all the time. After taking a break and showing up quite a few runners, she’s going back to her much harder, three tiered sport to once again reign supreme !
She just had a baby last week and hasn’t given any indication of a triathlon.
im calling your bluff.
Oh Gina... you know how this will go... when Gwen makes her announcement I'll come here and bump this thread... rojo will brag that LRC had the story first... the usual!

What the hell do these people do for income? Did Pat get a job now that Gwen doesn't train as much? Nike can't be paying her very much, if anything at all.

She never got $ from Nike. Only gear and they allowed her to hang out with real runners.
I suppose the point I was attempting to make was there is certainly a limited competitive base in a sport where even entry level participation costs a truckload on money and is dependant on availability of facilities - competitors are more likely to be those with disposable income and time on their hands - a privileged minority. Baseball just needs a ball and a bat shaped object (broomstick for instance), NFL a ball. Basketball, a ball. Same with football. Lots of people of different backgrounds in those sports. Triathlon, not so much.

This is accurate. That’s how an accountant from Wisconsin became Olympic champion.

It would be a wise move. The bar for women's marathon has been raised the last few years. And the American Record for the women's marathon continually gets challenged.
