Lots of good stuff over at Marie's blog:

Bionic Cover! continues her look at disabled athletes... and sent me to pull out Jodi Buren's fabulous book "Super Women: 100 women, 100 sports." Remember the breathtaking photograph of Aimee Mullins?

From sex symbol to real threat offers a little reflection on the blog coverage of Danica's win:

Not surprisingly, some (including the Deadspin and The Big Lead) found reason in Patrick's win to question the validity of auto racing as a sport or invited degrading, sexist comments from fans. What will be interesting over the next few months will be to see how mainstream coverage of Patrick evolves, as she has proven the ability of women to threaten the dominance of men in this sport.
