Gotta love the Olympic sponsors ramping it up so far this year.
Well if you are a swimmer and have been waiting impatiently for training tips from Mikey P. and Nat C., your prayers have been answered thanks to AT&T. After all, this may be the all-importactor to push you over the edge and help you achieve your goals! (Sometimes we’re rather optimistic)
If you navigate on over to the AT&T Blue Room, you can browse training tips from a selection of Olympic athletes including gymnast Nastia Liukin, Beach Volleyball stars Kerri Walsh & Misty May-Treanor, and track & field’s Jeremy Wariner.
I’m a little confused, though. Is this just an online thing? Or is AT&T allowing users to sign up and get these tips delivered to their phones? Because that would be a whole lot cooler, provided your phone is video-capable. Kind of like when NIKE let fans sign up for those automated wake-up calls from their athletes. Who wouldn’t want ‘Kaitlin‘ to call and wake them up every morning?
Yes, my friends, it is true. With all the talk of the Colorado Rockies and their late regular and post season streak, the SportsCenter gang gave a shout out to the Cheshire, CT girls high school swimming team for their 235th consecutive dual meet victory. That’s major! They haven’t lost since 1986!
This story was also shown on the local news, here in Columbus. Very refreshing because some of us don’t want to hear about OSU football 24/7…
Anyway, because I feel it is my job to share when swimming gets on TV, here is the short video snippet:
We caught Amanda on TV, again, a couple of days ago. She appeared on SpeedFreaks on ESPN2 where she talked about her love of motor sports and also shared more of her thoughts on women in sports posing for men’s magazines. Check it out:
We made another trip to the Aqua Zone at Nationals. Erika was determined to finish/win! (Especially after being turned down for a classic photo op by J-Hardy) Unfortunately for Erika, the outcome of her second attempt was identical to the first. But still great for a laugh! She was so close, but close only counts in horseshoes.
