Nick Symmonds asks Paris Hilton to accompany him to the Olympic Trials!

Nick Symmonds is the MFing man! Im just hoping Paris shows up so I can birddog that Mofo.

Marketing genius. Give Nick some props, I sure hope this goes through. Track would become the hottest thing since the last time Nick shit.

I'm having a hard time trying to comprehend why Symmonds did not just ask the kid from Bernards to accompany him to the olympic trials. Would have brought a lot of publicity to the sport bringing someone who can eat so much and endure more pain than the kenyans who get circumsized at thirteen years old. Perhaps he's just starstruck or is scared to ask the Bernard kids father.... after all he does look like morpheus and will bankrupt you faster than his son ran the second mile of that 3200 on that legendary day in April 08.

RRRRYYYYAAAANNNN. In my opinion, he was going to ask the BIG THREE to the trials, but learned that they will be competing in the intergalactic volleyball games just shortly thereafter. On a side note, should be a fun game to watch... as long as the kid who says "Ummm coach" all the time doesn't get hit in the face.

I was in the middle of watching nascar and posting a bumper sticker to my female athletes facebook wall when i saw this thread... While I agree with Dr. Bush that the BIG THREE would garner some much needed publicity, I couldn't help but to think that Top Notch might have even more star power. We all thought the Checkpoint was good, but wait til he drops the new mixtape... If you thought "Revenge", was just straight fire, prepare to have your world turned inside out with the release of the highly anticipated mixtape.

"occurance" come the fock on

Can you do much better than Paris Hilton, he asks? Yeah, I'd say just about every woman in the 800 and 1500 at Hayward Field last night was better.

Paris, really? Come on Nick, get some taste! You can do better!

Skanky! Nick can do better!

Do you people not see what's going on here? This guy is unbelievably shallow. Even for a guy, it is pretty pathetic. He obviously only went after Vessey as she was the track darling at the time. Not only would it stroke his own ego, it would, in his own small mind, improve his IMAGE, which is ALL this guy cares about.

You think he gives a rat's tattooed ass about "sponsorship" issues. No. He just sees it as a way of putting himself out there in an attempt at being the modern-day Pre or something. So transparent it is ridiculous.

And now he's into Paris Hilton? Barf! How sad was that article? Only a runner nerd would sit there with a reporter, "proving" his deeds via iPhone evidence. Are you kidding me? "See, look here. Here is where I wrote her daddy, being the aw shucks kinda small town guy that I am..." Pathetic. Really? Did he ask Vessey's dad for permission to date her? I doubt it.

Should Paris decide to show at the Trials, is Nick going to giver her his letter jacket to wear in the stands? What goes on in this guy's small mind is truly juvenile.

If anyone needs it spelled out for them why this guy has Paris in his crosshairs is just not playing with a full deck. He's a first-rate predator through and through, looking out for only himself and his overly-inflated image.

I remember after an indoor race him bringing up "his girlfriend" in an interview with Lewis Johnson, hoping Lewis would eagerly ask, "Who's your girlfriend?" Thankfully, Lewis didn't. Nick is a name-dropping, immature jerk. No two ways about it. Paris Hilton is just the next victim on his list. Even if she never even knows who Nick is, he's accomplished his mission of dropping her name. That's all he wants.

Just ask yourself what kind of a guy invests in TANNING SALONS, other than a pretentious, shallow d-bag? There you go. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

I hope our best three 800m guys make the team, and if he is one of them, so be it. But if he is not, it will not hurt my feelings one bit. You just do not use people like that.

People like Nick Symmonds are superficial jerks and certainly nobody that I would want to associate with, but hey, he's probably going to make more money than me and date more hot girls than me, so maybe it's worth it to him. I'm happier to live my life without constant self-promotion.

What a loser this guy is an attention seeking d-bag. Wasnt he the guy that sold a tattoo on his arm. Get a life and focus on running you coward

He is the dean k of 800 meter running.

Next thing you know, he will say he is a virgin because he saw how much publicity it gave lolo.

this is awesome

In my professional life, I’m reaching as high as I can go.

In my personal life, I wanted to do the same thing, reach for the gold medal. Can you do much better than Paris Hilton?”

Yes you can.

My question would be, "Could you do much worse?"

Paris is a skank ... that aside, she is a well known skank and a publicity whore. This is an excellent publicity move by Symmonds!

Probably not. Letter jackets are usually reserved for football. A track jacket would be much more likely in this situation.
