I know that this Olympics has been all about Michael Phelps' achievements. And indeed, he has made history and more importantly, he's made it to the status of Honorary NYer.
But.
That's right, but.
Natalie Coughlin hasn't exactly been resting on her good looks and sparkling personality. (Both of which she has in abundance.)
Natalie has gone gold this Olympics. Defending her title in the 100-meter backstroke. And! Natalie has won six medals in this Olympic Games. That's more medals in one Olympic Games ever won by any female swimmer. Ever in history!
She has handled her intense schedule with aplomb. And I have no doubt that she would handle the hustle and bustle of our fair city with the same aplomb.
I am proud to name her an Honorary New Yorker. I'm also proud to offer her a place to crash if she's ever in The City. (Sorry Michael.)
