You mean "squeamish," I think. A "squemish" is a crustacean of the genus squema.

High propriety 4 years ago

I never knew track athletes were so squemish and proper.

No ham, watch out I hear they have been trying to clean up their act but I hear they serve dog and cat. I did see a report that they are trying their best to hid this fact from their soon to arrive tourists from the West.

but really 4 years ago

The point becoming clear here that a seemingly silly little thing (call it manners, whatever) like forgetting that people might not want to watch you eating while you're talking about yourself can distract from what you are saying and from the fact that you really are quite a remarkable athlete and maybe a person we all can admire. The ham took on a life of its own and ended up overshadowing Jenny. Basic courtesy does matter, and more so when you reach the point where you have a wide audience and, as an Olympic athlete, you represent an entire country and form the basis for other people's opinions of us. And perhaps more important, can you even get good ham in Beijing?

I ham I Said 4 years ago

I ham, I said to no on there. And no one heard at all not even the chair. I ham, I cried, I ham, said I
And I ham lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Manners Maven is rude 4 years ago

Oh Dear Manners Maven, why is it always those who hide under the cloak of propriety are always the rudest? Hmm makes one wonder. Wipe the smirk off your face please.

Manners Maven 4 years ago

Steve Steve, Steve -- you clearly haven't yet learned that you ARE what you eat, and how you eat it, and when you eat it, and how you display it while you're chewing it while talking on camera. And you, Anonymous Coward, the fact that many people behave like pigs does not make it less piggy. And get the spinach out of your teeth and wipe your chin.

Steve 4 years ago

People are more interested in the piece of ham than what she is saying...sweet!

I guess all of you never talk to people on cell phones who are eating or don't talk at dinner? Get over it.

Go, Jenny, go! Go Buffs!

Nice interview and interesting to hear her strategy.

Anonymous 4 years ago

Maybe Flocast could wait till she is done eating to do the interview?

Miss Manners 4 years ago

I hope Jenny will accept my offer for a free session on basic manners before she heads off to China to show the world what we Americans are all about.

Sam 4 years ago

Smart runner and darned cute too. And when you've just set an AR, you deserve to eat during your interview.

Thank you Flotrack for covering this. I hope NBC is paying attention getting ready for Beijing, because the US women's steeple team is a great story.

inspired 4 years ago

Jenny, if you ever read this I hope you know how much you inspire people. You are not only running for yourself but for people that are driven by the example you set. The fearless attitude you bring to races has made you an American steeplechase pioneer and the future of U.S. distance running.
