No Sympathy for you, Steffie Rice

[Hollins]

Rice, you reap what you sow
Now you're not so plucky and confident, are you...
Concentrate more on your swimming and less on your shameless self-promotion
This serves you right and I hope you have learnt some of life's valuable lessons: don't get ahead of yourself, focus on what you do best and don't allow yourself to be consumed by the flim flam of momentary fame
No sympathy for you, Rice

You might not like her but apparently Kobe Bryant doesn't mind his Rice.

 

[Shade]

Did i miss something?

 

[SJ]

Disgraceful post.

 

[Paranoid]

I'm positive she'll read this and be devastated by what you think.

 

[CAS79]

She didn't ask for any sympathy but simply what the fook is this shit.

She spoken about her work load not bee enough to give her a gold medal At these games but it's not due to her promotion schedule which was more onerous in the run up to the Beijing games.

Will always remain a great Australian athlete.

 

[Unstable]

Don’t worry, by most reports Kobe will wipe the tears off her face

 

[100action]

I get the feeling she is slootin' it up a bit too much in the olympic village, could be tirin' out dem muscle just saiyan.

 

[ozgamer]

An unAussie thread of the highest proportions. Jam that tall poppy up ur arse OP

[Pie in the Sky]

OP saw an opportunity to take a cheap shot at a champion, took it with both hands.

 

[alfy!]

 

[PP34]

Wah wah!

 

[CF]

Leave Steph alone you tool

 

[apollo_creed]

agree with the op. she's very obviously up herself and a bit of a media whore.
please quit with the ****ing crying.

 

[Cleavy]

needed to work in another rice pun, like cropped or harvested.

 

[Dangas]

agree with the op. she's very obviously up herself and a bit of a media whore.
please quit with the ******* crying.

This, in my own words.

 

[SJ]

agree with the op. she's very obviously up herself and a bit of a media whore.

Can't agree. The woman is an Olympic legend. Three gold medals with three world records from the one games - how many Australians have ever done that?

Most athletes would have thrown in the towel after the injuries she's had, but she battled on and is still the sixth best swimmer in the world in her discipline. Never gave up. And so she broke down in an interview, thirty seconds after the results of four years of pain and hard work. So what? Give the girl a break.

 

[GOAUS!]

agree with the op. she's very obviously up herself and a bit of a media whore.
please quit with the ******* crying.

I mean she's only been working hard for 4 whole years, training day after day for this event in a sport whete most people hit their peak in the late teens/early twenties. This is the equivalent of her grand final, did you look down on Andy Murray or Nick Riewoldt for coming to tears?

No sympathy for you, Rice

That's the sort of sanctimonious crap I would expect from Patrick Smith.

As SJ said she has injuries and has had the guts to fight back and make the team. She performed unbelievable deeds in Beijing when she was fully fit. It was always gonna be a tough task to match those heights. So what if she self promotes herself. What else do you do if you are an injured professional swimmer in your free down time?
