I doubt she’s lost US Citizenship.

Big deal I say. She wanted to play but wasn’t good enough for the US team so she went to a team that would take her. She’s not shelling Georgian villages.

I agree totally. Where's the Olympic spirit? A girl wants to play in the Olympics, and this gives her the opportunity to do so. Good for her.

So if the racists in America had turned down Jessie Owens, he should’ve upped with Hitler’s Olympic team?

Good article featuring her in Sport's Illustrated a few weeks back.

She's just fine.
