Max Whitlock’s girlfriend Leah Hickton is a gymnastics coach that has been dating Max for nine years. She’s only 24 years-old, so I guess that means she started dating him when she was fifteen. They met at the gym while Max was training there in Basildon, Great Britain. She’s not joining him in Rio this year because of health concerns about Zika. I can understand that. They’ll probably want to start a family soon, and…
David Plummer’s wife Erin Plummer just recently delivered their second child. She’s also a medical school student. David left the household three weeks before the Olympics started this year. Erin delivered their second son in May and David wrote her a nice note on social media. It said, “I couldn’t be more blessed to have you in my life. Four years in and we are hitting our stride!” The couple married in Saint Paul, Minnesota and…
Unlike most Olympic athletes, Cammile Adams shares an absolute ton of photos of her fiance. Cammile Adams’ boyfriend Rad Brannan has been with her for years, and their engagement dates back to December of 2014. If my calculations are correct, Rad asked Cammile to be his wife on Christmas Eve of 2014! That’s a high-stakes move, Mr. Brannan. Of course it paid off though. When does it not work out? There’s so few of those stories in pro sports…
Caeleb Dressel’s girlfriend Meghan Haila recently referred to herself as a, “bundle of emotions”. She was already feeling this way and hadn’t even left the United States for Rio. Most Olympic wives, girlfriends, husbands and boyfriends can relate to this feeling. For the last several weeks, her Twitter feed has been almost non-stop posts about packing and feeling nervous! I can hardly imagine how nerve racking it must be to try and support a significant other training for the Olympics. After…
Bryan Clauson’s girlfriend Lauren Stewart is in mourning over the sudden death of her boyfriend. Saturday night, Bryan Clauson was in the lead of the Belleville Midget Nationals when tragedy struck. His car jumped the guard rail, flipped over and then came to a stop. For a moment, it looked like all would be well. Then all of a sudden, he struck by Ryan Greth, who was unable to stop. Race officials immediately transported Bryan to a hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska. Sunday night, he died from the…
Mo Farah’s wife Tania Nell Farah is the mother of their four kids. They’re all daughters except for the youngest. Recently she talked about having to shield them from the tabloids after Mo’s coach got tied to the use of doping. As a result, Mo had to distance himself from the former coach. The tabloids were hounding the family trying to link him to it. Tania said it was a big ordeal for her. Because the reporters would…
I’m not entirely sure if Nastia Liukin’s boyfriend Matt Lombardi is joining her in Rio this year. I can’t really believe that he won’t fly down there at some point. It should certainly be noted right off the bat that Nastia is not competing. Rather, she will be serving as a broadcast commentator. I have to admit that I’m surprisingly excited about this. I love when they get former champions to comment on the action. Unfortunately, she…
