Skippy Peanut Butter

Why is there nothing in there about her comment that Skippy Peanut Butter was her "secret weapon", and her endorsement with them because of it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.80.97 (talk) 03:16, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Good Article push

edit

I am aiming to have this article nominated or Good Article status this year. With the Olympics coming up, this feels like a good time. Anyone is welcome to participate. I also encourage interested editors to check out Women in Green.

For this article, the biggest need is expansion. Here are somethings that I think are needed.

  • Add other competitions in between Olympics
  • Add career since competitive retirement
  • Add about her public image, possibly in a new section
  • Add more context about US speed skating
  • Find more sources
