I know plenty of people here don't like Homan...I do. I think she's a hard competitor, and just hates losing. That's obviously what comes through when athletes aren't performing as they'd like or things aren't going their way. I think that's a good quality for these high-performance athletes as well.

Yeah, Colleen Jones is an annoying twat, but Homan could have handled the interview with a lot more grace than she did. I appreciate the competitiveness, but that does not exclude her from handling herself with class.
