She'll profit without the need for commercials. She's been the name on everyone's lips since she won yesterday, and if she wins today, then she's definitely gone clear. People are forgetting about Paula Radcliffe already.

Burning Spear.....

Yes she will profit expect they are queueing to sign her up as you write...as she crossed the line.

facetygirl.......

Its not a Radcliffe or Holmes contest....Radcliffe will be back....if she wants to...otherwise she will retire a much respected athlete...and possibly richer by far than Kelly's dreams could imagine.

Did I say it was a contest? I was talking in terms of news reporting, people ain't talking about Paula anymore. And I don't think Paula was bawling her eyes out over money do u? I'm sure for her, Kelly and all the other athletes it's about being the best, pushing themselves to the limit, possibly setting a few records in the process, and going for that all important gold.

You and i know paula's on her way down,...theres a chance she won't be running in the next race due to just personal failure......and you still think she's a super sportswomanconfused3........if you want to reach to the top you gotta work really hard and strive for that gold......... she obviously didn't want that gold that she so craved for. She gave up.....failed.......lost.

[color=blue]What does her race have to do with it? Why must race be brought up in nearly every single topic? It isn't relevant, can she not just be credited for what she has done to represent great britain, rather than what the hell she looks like?
