Best Olympic Event: Cat Fight

So it turns out the United States Woman's Ski Team is not much of a team afterall according to Julia Mancuso.  She feels too much attention is being given to Lindsey Vonn.  I guess no one ever told her blondes have more fun. 

Certainly this should be no shock; Vonn was a Sports Illustrated Cover Girl twice and in the swimsuit issue.  She is getting tons of attention and  is by far the best all around skier on the Team USA.  Also, let me point out a little something about skiing.  It is an individual sport for goodness sakes.  Just like golf and tennis, although sometimes there are team events.  Also, keep in mind and no offense (but here it comes) to the country club crowd, skiers are usually rich kids. 

Translation, not as mentally tough as athletes that play real team sports.  Golfers need shrinks as do tennis players and apparently so do skiers, especially Mancusco.  Golfers and tennis players need silence when they play.  Tiger Woods greatest player or is it playa in World has a heart attack every time a camera shutter clicks.  He allegedly grew up on Military golf courses, which usually have more noise than Grand Central Station.  You see the country club scene softens even those that were not born into it. 

Plus let me point out the obvious, these are woman!  Of course there will be petty jealousy!  My god that is in their nature.  Plus let's not forget when the Olympics are over the real gold rush begins for endorsement $$$.  So Mancuso is marketing herself as the underdog.  Although I find it funny this is the same girl complaining about Vonn getting special treatment and she's the one that wears a tiara?  So who's the diva Julia? 

There is also a saying in the world of public relations, all publicity is good publicity.  I think that is the case here and notice NBC has not shied away from talking this thing up on their coverage.  This is also a great opportunity for the Olympics to add a new event, Cat Fights, which they can just call woman's wrestling.  I think a Vonn/Mancuso matchup would break some serious pay per view $$ if Vince McMahon's WWE is inclined to make a pitch.  For the record I would take Vonn and her 160lbs. over the tiara wearing Mancuso, but I'm partial to blondes.
