:: News from the Armstrong Family
9/4 ~ Lance and Kristin Armstrong announced today that they have decided to end their 5 year marriage. "We're truly committed to maintaining a good relationship, but not a marriage," Lance said in an article in the Austin-American Statesman. "The craziest thing is, we're closer now and better friends than ever before." "It's an unfortunate situation," Kristin added. "We are making the best of it for the sake of our kids." While truly appreciative of the support they have received, the Armstrong's do request everyone to respect their family privacy in this matter. fwiw |

As a single man, and a Lance fan, this doesn't fill me with hope. If Lance
can't keep a woman happy, with all he has to offer, then what chance on Earth do I have? Kinda bummed that one of my heroes has to go through this. All he has to offer? Remember, there tends to be a certain driven narcissism in someone who is a big star (in any field). It helps to be driven and self-centered to get to the top. Once he is on top, his ego tends to get a variety of stroking from people who seek something from you. At "work", everything revolves around him -- be it sports star, CEO, or surgeon, for example. At "home", particularly in a home with young children, things aren't quite this way. Flip it around. Would you REALLY rather be married to, say, Madonna, or would you rather be married to someone with the stereotypical personality of a nurse, or a teacher?

Mike Kruger (married a teacher myself -- many years ago) I understand that, but Lance has always seemed to be a pretty decent person, especially since his cancer. There's no guarantee that someone who is a nurse, or a teacher isn't going to be a control freak. There's also every possibility that someone who's made it to the top can retain humility. It sucks, that's all. The man can beat cancer and win the Tour 5 times, but a successful marriage escapes him. I think that says a lot. |
