And yet the top three in the world were not on the Tonight Show, despite the fact that one of them is hot, American, and was a reigning gold "metal" holder.
I am more concerned about their doubters.
Anna is way hotter than Lolo. But they both don't win.
what do people want lolo to do...tell everyone no and tell them to go talk to harper? in track (and all sports or jobs) you have to get your money when you can. do you guys want her to say no to mcd's and all the sponsors? probably the same guys that blame a-rod and kf and others for their contracts...it isnt like if someone offered you more money to do the same job that you would turn it down (if you enjoy that job). what do you want kf to say...no i dont deserve the offer you are giving me, lets cut it by a million...you have got to be kidding me.
lolo should give her agent and pr people a bonus for doing so well and harper should fire hers...she just doesnt have as good of people working for her. i applaud lolo for her accomplishments (medal or none) because she is from iowa and a superb runner. also i throw a congrats to fort dodge's own lisa uhl (another iowa woman who didnt medal but was still able to make the olympics).

Actually, I was wrong. Anna had a couple of major title doubles championships. Lori just has some dumb sponsors who backed the wrong pony.

Lolo won indoor world titles in 2008 and 2010. That's not bad "not winning" IMHO.
Some of you folks are hilarious. Criticizing incredibly fit, world class athletes is really something. Especially those that had to deal with being homeless as a kid. Plus, she's from Iowa!
Dang. How many world championships did you win, dude?

I'm not comparing her to me, I'm comparing her to the women who continually kick her butt on the track. The women not tweeting about their loins every other week. The women who are so anonymous compared to the girl they beat that they can't even get arrested.

Hanging curve ball here for you Oates.
This should start Round 2.

Do you think the media attention given to Lolo is ultimately good or bad for someone like Harper?

the hate just flows....lol at you trying to make a point of how someone who barely missed the podium isn't an elite athlete.....

All through out this thread, people have been saying "Well what is she supposed to do, tell the media not to cover her?" Well, maybe she should have. She has been bending over backwards to get as much media exposure as possible the last three months, and ONE PERSON writes a negative article about her, and she can't handle it?
I don't know what to say...

All Ameican collegiate sprinter at an elite track program...indoor American record holder...she make the olympic team....Twice. Made the Finals in her event...Twice. 2012 barely missed the podium.
yeah, barely any athletic accomplishments....
you can't be serious and just love to stir crap up....ugly.

Bad. The story isn't that Harper won silver is a tightly contested race, it is that Lolo is going home empty handed because the media was mean to her. Her accomplishments are marginalized because Lolo's drama is the story.

It should be pure sport, shouldn't it Oates.... your clueless....
you relish the anonymity....i guarantee it.
It bothers me that you bother me, most posters, even Okeefe don't get under my skin like you did on this one.....congrats, as I think that was your goal.

Would you even know who Dawn Harper is if it wasn't for Lolo? Judging from the way you've demonstrated your lack of track knowledge in this thread, I would assume the answer is no.

Sure he would, undoubtedly he would have been extremely interested in the 100m Womens hurdles. But only if they were REAL elite athletes who deserved the attention of sponsors....

Why are you so, well, intense about it?
I wasn't aware this was even an issue. Lolo has won world championships, and is at the top of her sport. Why the animosity?
