Those beautiful blondes...

Long term visitors might recall my posting a series of "girlie pics" starting with Beatrice Faumuina (World Champ Discus), followed by Sarah Adams (World Junior Shotput), and then these two gorgeous blondes whom I did not name.

Well, it is time to put that right. The are Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell, World champion Double Scull, Olympic gold meadalists in the same event and as of last night New Zealand Sports Team of 2004.

So, time to present my next blonde...

Sarah Ulmer

How do you reward a woman who has been World Champ, broken the World Record for her event three times and won the Olympic Gold Medal all in the same year. Well, you make her Halberg Supreme Sports Person of the Year 2004.

What happened to the men? Hamish Carter was Sportsman 2004 for his win in the triathlon at the Olympics.

Just to close about Sarah Ulmer though. You could not ever hope to meet a more down to earth and natural person anywhere. One of her favourite expressions is "...wicked". A measure of her mana and personality is that the losing finalist in the Individual Pursuit at the Olympics, Kathy Mactier, was prepared to forgo a competition in Europe so that she could attend at the award ceremony last night.

Man, too bad it looks like she is taken.

You know someone has achieved something when that person's peers are the first ones to congratulate her.
