Trying to equate Olympic medals to Anna K is asinine.

 

You get one chance every four years to win a medal. AK has 30 matches EVERY year to win.

How many medals does she have in her lifetime? Not gold medals...medals period.

 

She's celebrated like she's the greatest and has nothing substantial to back it up. Sure she has the American record but ask Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt if there is anything more important than medals. I get it. She's a beautiful woman but until she wins some Olympic medals the the title of 'Anna Kournikova of Track' is spot on.

 

 

My favorite tweet about Lolo.....@NOTSportsCenter: Lolo Jones gets 4th in 100m hurdles. Apparently Lolo is also saving her Olympic medal wins for marriage. #Olympics @NOTSCOlympics

 

Again, why be mad at LoLo for the attention she receives? Isn't your displeasure with coverage 100% misplaced?

So is Lolo's media attention the result of her athletic ability and results or her looks?

Anna K comparison is way off. A) Anna was known way more as a sex symbol than Lolo is or ever will be and B) Anna didn't win ANYTHING!

So is Lolo's media attention the result of her athletic ability and results or her looks?

Both. She gets attention because of her athletic ability but it's magnified because of her looks and to a lesser extent, story.

Yes

Lolo also gets attention because she is one of the best athletes there is to follow on Twitter. Honest, open, and funny.

2. How many medals has Lolo won? Unfortunately, that's what Olympic athletes are measured by. Going into the Olympics, everyone was fawning over the women's gymnastics team. Calling them the best ever. The Fab Five (trademarked). The Fierce Five, etc. They won a team medal. But they faltered some in the indivudual events. No one is calling Gabby Douglas the best gymast ever now. Not after failing to medal. Jordyn Weaver was the American champ and didn't make it to the individual competition. Didn't win an indivudal medal either. Ask her and gymastic insiders if they feel like her Olympics were a success. Probably not.

 

Must not have watched the same Olympics as the rest of us. Gabby Douglas won the Individual All Around Gold.

If I were Gabby Douglas I woudln't have even wanted to compete in the individual events. After leading your team to a Gold and following that up with an All-Around Gold...I'd call it a day. All you can do is hurt your reputation, which to some she may have. To me, she didn't.

So wait her looks get her contracts? Is she that good looking.

^ Google her...you be the judge.

I did that's why I posted that, I don't think she is.

Most female athletes that are good looking are inflated a notch or two on the rankings.

I agree.

I'm not mad at Lolo. I just don't think she's lived up to all the hype. I didn't know who she was until her pre-race dance routine was posted on here last week.
