More from the NY Times: Nearly 2,000 words on Alexi Pappas marriage last month - They call her the "darling of the games"

"Bravies"

Interesting. I always assumed she was married to Tom Pappas.

Gimme a phuckin' break. If you needed any further proof the NY Times is a rag, here ya go.

She will do literally anything for attention. She reminds me of Suzy Favor.

"Darling of the games?" Respect to Alexi, she has accomplished a lot but being the darling of the OGs is not one of them. So who does she or he know at the times because this article is fiction.

Who is Alexi Pappas?

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts!

You never know what's in the bun.

Her next film should be about a citizen of one country who uses a loophole in the rules to compete for another country in the Olympics. Possible working title: Traitor in Spikes.

I have to admit, I chuckled on this one.

The article shows how she and the New York Times live in this sort of parallel universe where you don’t have to actually do anything to be considered important , you just have to have the right labels attached to yourself . Every article about her throws out the same labels : “ Ivy League graduate; Oregon Duck runner; Olympic Athlete ; film maker; roll model to young girls.” It doesn’t matter that her writing style is that of a 7th grader, she never really accomplished much as a runner , her film was a joke or that there probably aren’t any girls holding her up as a roll model, having the labels is enough for the New York Times.

At least, I can spell role model.

Man, I agree with what you're saying; and acknowledge that she's a self promoting farce. However, you've really got to be careful throwing around insults about writing style, etc. when you've got so many grammatical mistakes within your own paragraph. It kind of makes you look silly, and definitely undermines any point that you're trying to make. Take that for what you will.

You do have to hand it to her for brand placement. If you look closely at the yarmulkes , they have a champion logo on them.

Before I went to Dartmouth my vocabulary was small. Now it is big.

Guy looks like Nick Jonas.

Does finishing 17th in the w10,000, a race without any earlier rounds, make you a darling of the meet? I don't recall any mention of her on either NBC or CBC. Maybe on Greek TV she was their plastic darling.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to classify her as an instagram model at this point? She hasn't raced in 2 years and her income comes from taking instagram pics wearing Champion gear.

Found the jealous loser who can just enjoy other people's success.

Kind of right. It’s just that I’m just not clear what success she’s actually had? Maybe it depends on how you define success?

In any event - in a “stand back and shake my head” way, I find social media and that people can get paid for just having a certain number of followers interesting. Not positive interesting, f’d up interesting. She’s willing to self promote and it apparently makes her money, which I don’t mind. I don’t know why getting mad at her does any good, a lot of people do this. It’s an interesting phenomenon which I don’t fully understand.

Can we now all agree that the New York Times is fake news?
