Interesting story...
Very pretty young Mormon girl.....so the beautiful, clean-living Aussie angle is a sponsor's wet dream.. Family moved to Salt Lake in 2004, I think. Currently the "face" of Roxy wimmin's surf brand, has an X-Box game named after her.
Her career is being very carefully stage managed in the lead up to the Olympics....journos are being told you can take as many pix as you want, but she won't be doing any interviews or answering ad hoc questions.
Sign of the times we live in, I guess. If she wins gold, we may only hear about what it was like through "approved" channels....read: glossy mags, Today Tonight puff piece, etc etc.
