Anyways here we had an Olympic medalist a called Sarah Ulma a NZ cyclist..she was pretty much set to win some medal (even gold) at the 2004 Olympics but there was virtually NO governament funding, so she went to the Golden Arches.. McD. Well sure enough they sponsored her and she went to the Olympics and so on. However now! there is a cross message... because as a result here goes this awesome athlete who is indicetly and directly having to promote McDonalds. From a kids prespective that is like saying...eat McDonalds and become like Sarah Ulma... Its a hard road that one.. She lost a lot of credibility from so as a "sell out", which i think i absolute rubbish!!! but its hard for kids to get the right message under those circumstance.. EAt healthy, get out and play sport etc.. and at the same time shove a Big mac, with a coke and fries in your mouth.<BR/>SO! even though McDonalds have now introduced the healthy choice menu thing its still confusing in the eyes of kids.<BR/><BR/>I know you aren't talking just about McDonalds as a sponsort, but lets face is, McDonalds, and Coke are some of the biggest sponsors cause they target this way the right age group (get em while they are young haha). However i have never! heard of a gymnast being sponsored directly by them.. you may be the first..<BR/>I dont have any connections saddly, but advice would be not to sit around and wait for it to happen, but more like do what you seem to have always done (at least from 9yrs of age haha.. awesome presentation), and get out there and get it yourself. I am sure Coke, or McDonalds would love to sponspor this venture, especialy! after another AWESOME! Olympics success.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, and i will keep my ears open.Valentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603566706945789607noreply@blogger.com
