The
United States Olympic Committee has named
Natalie Coughlin and
Nastia Liukin co-winners of the USOC SportsWoman of the Year for 2008. Paralympic swimmer
Erin Popovich earned praise as well—USOC Paralympian of the Year. Congratulations, Natalie, Nastia, and Erin!
Here, though, I will single out Natalie Coughlin. I'm delighted the USOC had the good sense to honor Natalie for her accomplishments in Beijing—she was, after all, the first American woman in any Olympic sport to win six medals in one Olympics—which have been, I believe, overlooked; cloaked, that is, by the fawning attention given to those of Michael Phelps.
H2O Audio, too, deserves a good word for choosing Natalie to promote its products. This I have tended to with the H2O Audio commercial spot included below. After you watch, be sure to check out
Natalie's playlist. I was amused but found it wasn't my cup of tea. But then, that's just me; perhaps you will be better able to appreciate it:
