Rick Suhr, Pole Vault Coach

Ouch, this coach is some new kind of jerkoff. I've seen plenty of coaches who rode players but when Jenn Stuczynski won silver medal to the world record holder, he owed her some love.

Here's the link. Unfortunately, NBC is watching youtube like a hawk so you have to watch a commercial and may have to install the gay "Silverlight" viewer. If you don't want to watch it, you can just watch this--you'll get the idea.

I caught that a-hole's performance live. What a tool, especially given the fact that the Russian is the greatest female pole vaulter ever and that the American had no chance whatsoever to beat her.

That said, the American vaulter was scarcely better herself. She really talked trash about the Russian before the Games.

There was no trash-talking. Here's the quote. “I hope we do some damage,” she had said, “and, you know, kick some Russian butt.” That's nothing but it gave NBC something to talk about.

Sounds like trash talking to me, however benign.
