1. I wish her well

But I always loved the spectacle of young athletes competing with the world. However, as money and corporate interest become more involved, many of the athletes stay and stay and are now professionals. Lindsey is a prime example. At 42, she was amazing, but she had the backing and money to see her efforts as a full time profession. What happened to young, fresh people coming into the sport as the others step aside and cheer them on? Again, I pray she will be healed very soon. And I hope she realizes time to cheer the younger champions as they step into the spotlight.
