Remember Jane Saville? No? Jane was the walker in the Sydney Olympics who, just as she was beetling into the Olympic stadium to win the gold medal in the 20 kilometre walk was disqualified for having both feet off the ground for a third time. Saville, who may compete in Dublin this year, recently got married to a professional cyclist, Matt White.
But because of the coverage Saville received from her evident anguish of being disqualified having being so close to a medal, the athlete was offered $100,000 by Australia's Women's Way for photos from the wedding. Any publicity is good publicity it seems.
