  1. Wow. I've never thought of Vonn as overweight. I don't think that being overweight would help you in most sports. You'd be out of breath fairly quickly.

  2. I think she is a very healthy looking and attractive woman. I dont think you can reach the pinnacle of most sports while being overweight.
