Aaron Ross’s Fiancee Sanya Richards Aims For Olympic Gold
Aaron Ross’s fiancée, Sanya Richards, will be spending the next month in Beijing, according to Joshua Robinson of the New York Times. Richards is one of the fastest 400-meter sprinters in the world and among the favorites to win a gold medal at the Olympics, but Ross will not be able attend like she attended Super Bowl XLII. Ross said he would be recording every heat she raced on his laptop so he could immediately watch it because, with a 12-hour time difference, he could not be up all hours of the night during camp. Ross also said, “My training is pretty easy compared to hers.” Aaron and Sanya are able to split time together between their homes in Austin, TX and Secaucus, NJ because their schedules are conveniently interlocking, and they plan to marry in 2010. Richards said, “He has already got his Super Bowl championship, and he really wants me to get this Olympic gold. So he told me just stay relaxed, stay calm and execute, and I will be headed to Beijing.”
I knew that Ross’s fiancée was a pretty good collegiate track star, but I had no idea that she was competing at the Olympic level. On top of that, she’s one of the favorites to win the gold medal which is very impressive. If she wins a Gold, Silver, or Bronze then that’s quite a year for a couple where her fiancée already won the Super Bowl. We need to keep track of how she’s doing in Beijing, and we wish much success.
