Emma Raducanu, are we ready ?

[MichaelW2]

Will she be the first Six Billion Dollar Woman of British sport?
Agents and sponsors are drooling at the prospect of young, bright, affable, reasonably pretty, multi-ethnic, Mandarin-speaking, Insta-native sporting superstar.

Dangerous or Deadly maybe. Not quite Elite.

She only grazed her knee - I don't think she needs a new leg!!

Naomi Osaka is the highest paid female athlete in the world, and only Roger Federer makes more from tennis.

Although his earnings from playing in the last year were next to nothing, he still made $90m from off field activities.

You didn't play games on a BBC Micro in the 1980s then...

Sure? Do you think you may be projecting just a little? I doubt you have any more idea about her views on the relevance of monarchical bandwagon jumping than I do.

Seems my idea of Emma's views wasn't far off the mark.

She was very fulsome on Saturday night in her praise of the Queen's message, saying it 'meant everything' to her and saying other nice things about Her Majesty.

monarchical bandwagon

I reckon that's a Googlewhack - well played!

 

[fozy tornip]

You never know; she may be content with only half a billion.

Post facto, but well done anyway.

Hasn't the political bollox stuff been moved to another site, somewhere?
I don't want to become one of those regular users of the "report" facility - but you have been given your own playroom now.

Just an idle observation.

Not really expecting a reply.

But if it's not political to mention that Emma was in receipt of a missive from Queenie.

Nor is 'political' to suggest she must have been chuffed about it.

But it is, however political to question such a supposition.

Doesn't that just mean that all posts on CC must be conservative small or large C to be allowable on CC from now on ??

US Open champion. Did mum rue Canada? (4,8)

One thing that stood out for me was how media polished she appears for such a young age. She said all the right things, came across as very humble and likeable.

Well you know what they say about 'feisty' and opinionated girls don't you

 

[Moodyman]

And that smile...how could one not like that smile.

Marketeers will be frothing.

You of all people should know to show her a little respect. She is an adult woman.

If I'd referred to her as a girl you'd be leading the calls to have me burned at the stake for a mysoginistic attitude.
