Longo is one tough cookie that is for sure grrrr.

She may have used the same acceptance antics as Mr Lewis,
although just being herself, not acting?

"Lewis, who bucked formality by wearing slippers to the ceremony, clowned around with Culture Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres — yawning, checking his watch, and even pretending to fall asleep during Donnedieu's 20-minute-long speech in French. The crowd roared at Lewis' antics, their laughter often drowning out Donnedieu's lofty words."

I admire her as much as anyone here, but i stick by my belief that these things should not go to people for any sporting achievements, or actors or singers or any celebrity really, but for real service, valour or moments of heroism.

Man or Woman, she's an incredible athlete. The embodiment of hard work, pain and perseverance. You go girl.
