… at the Official Press Conference Thursday morning. Sorry if this was already posted - I din’t see it.
There was an empty seat between Faris and Normann, with several jokes made about it; but, apparently, the gamesmanship and head games continue. Desiree still looks just happy to be at the “Big Dance;” while Michellie is the consummate controlled and PC professional. Jo Lawn looks very strong, with added confidence after her sub 9-hour Germany race. Otherwise, just a good photo session.
If I was in the same boat, I would pull a no show as well. At this point why get into it more. The fact that they sat him in the middle of those two is just hoping for something to happen. I think he made the right decision with the no show. I can not wait for the smackdown tomorrow.

I imagine they just sat them according to last years placings, nothing so dastardly as trying to set up a confortation…
I think you’re reading too much drama into the situation. They hugged last year, didn’t they?
Jo Lawn looks very strong

Sitting at a press conference?
Yes, they did hug, before the accusations and war of words began!
Just more proof that Macca talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk.
I would be overjoyed to see him DNF

Proof in a not talking any talk kind of way?
he loves to sit back and throw barbs, but when the chips are down, no show
.
so telling the world he was ready to race fast all year long and then banging out a 7:54 at ROTH isn’t walking the walk??? What did Norman do this summer… oh yea he DNFed at IM Germany.
Unfortunately, chips aren’t remotely down yet… they’re not even out of the box.
Today’s for talking, tomorrow’s for walking.
I eagerly await the Terrel Owens of triathlon’s demise

I don’t understand why that would make you happy. That’s just strange.
Could you imagine yourself sitting across from him at a coffee shop and saying, “Macca, I hope you DNF tomorrow. Actually, I’ll probably toast your DNF if given the opportunity.”
It is all about the big day. Winning Roth is not Kona, sorry.

Absolutely, just as I use my real name when I post statements on an internet forum.
hahaha

I like the move. Nothing good could come out of him sitting up there. Granted they are 2 completely different sports but look at the boxing press conferences. It is just an invitation for trouble

My position is that it’s just strange to me. I think anonymity is a bad thing, too.
I wouldnt like to see him DNF, but I do agree that he has talked more than his fair share of talk, its time to win or keep quiet

I liked this comment from Norman’s interview, pretty much says it all as to trash talking…
ST: What do you think about the comments of McCormack after last year’s race?
Normann: Was there something? FYI, in a previous interview he said he wouldn’t need 7 years to win in Hawaii, but 2007 is his 7th year. No further comment needed.
