Olympians on WP

Shawn Johnson, a gold medalist and WordPress-powered blogger. Dreamhost says “So far we haven’t had to do anything special to keep her blog up,” even though the first entry has over 1,100 comments. (Man, those things pop up everywhere now.) Any other Olympians on WP you’ve seen?

Ooh. Thanks for this! I’ve been wondering about whether or not some had a blog…
Did anybody else notice the number of comments on his latest blog entry?
A whopping 1,192, when I visited ; )
WordPress delivers, again.
great blog .. Shawn is quite popular .. me too like her
Michael Phelps has an iPod. Michael Phelps has a Facebook profile. Too bad Michael Phelps doesn’t have a WP blog. After all, he is a decent swimmer.
Shame about the media bans and “china issues” though!

You should be really kidding, right?
Take a look at this blog (or this post, more specifically) : http://maurrenmaggi.blog.terra.com.br/2008/08/22/muito-obrigado-pela-forca/ (blog and post in portuguese)
Maurren is a brazilian gold medalist, and her blog is running on WordPress Mu. At this exact moment, this unique post attained 2460 comments.
Who cares?
People willing to punish themselves hard enough to qualify for the Olympics require counseling, not admiration… Not to mention the fact that some athletes go through a training regimen that starts early enough and is hard enough to qualify as child abuse… Olympians are by and large victims, not “winners”.
