Perspective is a funny thing, isn't it?
'She cries a lot' - yes, she wears her heart on her sleeve
'Co
mplains about sexism' - and rightly so - what's wrong with that? Do you think sexism is okay?
'Everything's too hard for her' - no, she has never said that. If that were true, she'd have given up, not had the phenomenal worldwide success that she has had.
'Her coaches are mean and nasty' - no, one coach got very upset when he found out about her love affair and it caused a lot of grief within the camp. She has otherwise had nothing but praise for her coaching team.
'She needs people to deal with her sensitively' - the GB cycling team set-up is a tough environment, where women are supposed to act like men. She is, quite rightly, critical of that.
'Constantly upset and whiny' - erm, no.
Are you, perchance, a man?
