Natalie is gone

Last night on Dancing with the Stars, Olympic Swimmer, Natalie Coughlin was eliminated from the show. This is a huge let down for the swimming community. She was a great ambassador for the sport to a larger audience that swimming does not usually get.

Overall though I do think that she deserved to go home. She is not the best dancer out there. Her dances feel stiff and not genuine. She did not feel completely comfortable dancing , which i feel is a huge part of dancing. If she could not completely let go then she just looked awkward the entire time.

I absolutely love Natalie as a swimmer, every time a met her at meets she was always super sweet and nice. But as a competitor on this show i felt like that might have been her downfall. She did not have the personality for this show to win.

So goodbye Natalie we will miss you on DWTS...
