In all the hub and bub about the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver it’s easy to forget that thousands of gold medal hopefuls across the world are packed away in warm gyms, sculpting their bodies for the 2012 summer Olympics in London. Being an Olympian means being the best. And being the best requires sacrifice, which is why 27-year-old Australian track star Jana Rawlinson had her breast implants removed in order to increase her performance on the track.
“Yep, I’m back to being flat as a pancake,” Rawlinson told Woman’s Day magazine.
Cosmetic surgery is expensive. Rawlinson admitted to having spent over $13,000 over the past 14 months to have her breasts enhanced, only to realize that, for her, bigger wasn’t better.
But it was patriotism that finally convinced Rawlinson to go back under the knife:
“Every time I raced, I panicked about whether I was letting my country down, all for my own vanity,” she said.
Rawlinson, who told Women’s Day she “loved having bigger boobs”, doesn’t see her decision as final. With today’s medical technology she can always get the reversal reversed.
“I can always get my breasts enhanced again when I finish my career. I know there are no medals for being beautiful.”
