Granted, I'll gladly give even star athletes some privacy, but still, unless, as I said, I just missed it--repeatedly--I thought that was rather a strange omission.

I have noticed that too both during the Olympics and seeing her a couple of times on Jay Leno...I think I did see in a recent article in People a brief mention of her husband.

Yes, it was refreshing to see someone so openly surprised and emotional about winning. :)

That is what I so loved about him :)

I'm sitting here watching the paralympics opening ceremony - they did a whole ballet dance ensemble with a little girl who lost her leg in the May earthquakes in China - it was beautiful and it made me cry.
I'm sure it'll be on youtube soon enough.
Kelda:
Over a thousand "cartoon marathon athletes" give an extraordinary performance ahead of the Paralympians' parade at the opening ceremony.
