Forget about the crazy "olympic gold" goal, or her awkwardness in interviews. My question is: why does she always post picture of her son Stanley to get the big likes on instagram? After all, her son hasn't certainly chosen to become an instagram super star. And they're not just family pictures, she's playing a lot the "mum card" to get attention and justify her average performance.

She said in an interview she feels bad about it but he’s so cute
I agree he’s so cute
She’s on pay loving being a mother and doesn’t post offensive or private pics of him
Her social media engagement this and YouTube is obviously because she is savvy and needs to support a family on running income

What's worse is making a post on letsrun just to get comments about someone else's life.

Well I hadn't thought about it... now that she left triathlon she's spending money to run and it could be that she'll never recover the investment. My god with a family to support and a very dubious running career it could be that she'll have to find a regular job soon!

Agreed. It's probably the same turd that posted that last negative diatribe.

Not likely at all but given she was good enough to get a grad job at Ernst & Young they’d probably take her back any time
Don’t think you know the meanings of average. Her running performances are well above average. And I think if she wanted attention she would have stayed doing triathlons were she was one of the best. I don’t think it is about money either for the same reason.
I think in her reddit she said the YouTube channel was her husband's idea. In general, she's gotta make a living, and a lot of people are interested in her journey so it's just a case of giving people what they want.
I don't like kids and think Stanley's the cutest. She really wanted to be a mom so she's probably bursting with love. It's nice she's embracing motherhood and pursuing her athletic goals.

She's cashing in on Stanley! I would not want my kid all over the internet.
This is a donkeypoop thread. Where is the bad thread pointer outer when we need him?

The OP has some great points that you two just can't handle.
Neither would I. I'll never forget the time I was taking a cell phone photo of something, and some 4 year old came up to me to pose. Her mom grabbed her and was all embarrassed.
That said, I have some friends who don't post pix of their kids online, and our friends are always asking them to post pix ... There's a huge want for it even if you're not famous.

In this cesspool losing a major marathon by a minute makes you completely average. You ran 2:05? Whatever, that's been done a few times already in the history of humanity. Average.

Afraid not. Re-read for clarity.
She's going to be devastated some letsrun retard thinks she's trying too hard.

Yes indeed her performance are even BELOW average if you consider women who say they want to win a gold in Tokyo in the marathon/ 10000m/ 5000m (or even a medal).

So what does the husband do?

So what's the deal with message boards rats' displeasure with athletes that try to market themselves?
Clearly you don't understand marketing your brand through social media. Gwen has made herself into a brand. Her brand is her athletic career (was triathlete, now marathoner), her personality, and now her family. If she wants to make a good living as an athlete with more sources of income than the conventional sources of running income (which is paltry), she has to do more than other athletes of her talent level. Her brand strategy appeals to her existing fan base, her new and growing fan base, active moms, and whomever is interested. Taking the "mom" angle has a huge appeal in the social media marketing world.
Seriously, it's time to start only one thread dedicated to critisizing Gwen Jorgensen so you have all have a space to air your grievances.
I love it and hate it...
I think she is a bad ass woman! I’m enjoying her journey. I’d prefer it was a bit more authentic but I am impressed. She can run. I am excited to see her marathon debut with her new fitness.
There are no rules how you feed your family.
