I am well aware that I am not the example of a perfect body image, but what the hell happened to Anna Kournikova?

It just looks like she didn't glam it up for this event. Replace revealing/skin-tight outfits with sensible clothes, teased hair with a pony tail, and remove a lot of makeup, and she simply looks like a healthy/athletic woman.
But as my link shows, it's not like she ballooned up to 200lbs, or became anorexic, or is covered with tribal tats, or chopped all her hair off.
Of course, if she DID decide to do any of those things, that's her own business.

The above has nothing at all to do with sports, but you have to love a headline writer that can do something like it.

Re: Anna K
It amazes me how many women still think a tramp stamp is a good idea.

I prefer the term "ass-antlers".
(and no, I don't have a set of 'em either)

Of course it would be. But if someone makes millions of dollars looking fabulous, they should be okay with the inevitable backlash when they don't.
