For Suzy, the only disappointing aspect of throwing the discus may be that it’s more popular overseas than in the United States “The European perspective is different, and they are more knowledgeable about the sport. The media focus less on human interest stories and more on the straight meet.” Although she is receiving sponsorship from Advocare and Asics, after the Olympics Suzy sees herself concentrating on the European track circuit. “Our athletes obviously have to go over there because that’s where the money is, but everyone would like to be appreciated in their home country.”
Suzy Powell may not look like the emblematic male Greek statues and figures we’ll see on Olympic posters, but with her smart training and exceptional talent, you can bet her accomplishments will be chiseled in history. i„ÔA €
