Everyone is putting Ficker because she's "hot" and Wellington because she won Kona. But to me there is still no substitute for Badmann other than maybe McGlone. Both are better athletes than either of the two mentioned above. And Natascha just epitomizes what the sport is about - class and style and pure joy of competing. Not too mention she is a hell of a fighter/competitor.
I'm a Ficker fan, I'm just getting into the tri's and when I saw her on TV for Kona she just had that draw to her. She loves competing, people, and life, just kind of got me, the fact that she's attractive didn't hurt. I'm not saying that I'm not a fan of all triathletes though, but as somebody else said, it's favorite not necessarily best. It's hard not to be in awe of any of them though, if it didn't say professional I'd say Sister Madona, watching her graciously be pulled from the race this year at Kona, how can you not respect her? Anyway, pros/AGs, they're all my favorites. |
