She spends something like $100K a year on massagers, chiros, etc. I dunno, it just seems to greedy and narcissistic, although I'm sure a healthy dose of narcissism is necessary to be world class athlete.

She's on an asthma inhaler. A bronchodilator. She says it's just to get her lungs up to where other folks are, but I don't totally believe it. She uses it 30 minutes before her races & it would definitely giver her a substantial performance boost. I'm just skeptical she's really asthmatic. Who turns asthmatic in their 30s? Most folks grow out of asthma as they get older (me & my dad included).
Well... yeah, but she's 25 years older than most of her competitors. I respect your opinion, but I imagine some of the other athletes are putting big $$ into their programs. I also think it takes massive ego to do something like this, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

I think it's wild. I think she's really inspiring.
