I see that Martina Navratilova won her opening round match at Wimbledon. She is a mighty young 47 years old.

Everything I have seen about Navratilova's career and personal style has been both gracious and focused - she ought to be a role model for many more people than she is - and as a result she is one of the few athletes I look up to.

So, You GO girl.

And yes, it does feel odd saying that about someone older than I am.
