Monzanator 3,636 Posted May 19 #595 Share Posted May 19 4 hours ago, Josh said: 22.07 PB in the women’s 200m for Sydney McLaughlin It's almost a shame the US media focus on Richardson instead of McLaughlin who is much more likeable and could actually be the doing things Marion Jones was supposed to do 25 years ago. I do realize SML's somewhat indifferent persona is a nightmare for story-telling TV ratings. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the younger generation loves obnoxious attention seekers like SCR and SML is the opposite of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do realize SML's somewhat indifferent persona is a nightmare for story-telling TV ratings. Sydney gets a lot of media attention as well. She just wasn’t very active for a while due to her injury and her coaching camp likes to keep things on the down low. Edited May 19 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Unless she suddenly turns up to Diamond Leagues and other competitions this season, it's going to feel really unsatisfying as a fan when she wins gold in Paris to be honest.
