“There is nothing to do in Blacksburg….”
Breaking: Egyptian swimmer Farida Osman has been appointed Honorary Director of Tourism for Blacksburg, VA. Expect to see quotes from her glowing review of the town on billboards across the country.
This is good, this is funny, and yet it’s funny because it is true. Around these parts they call it “Bleaksburg”
Blackburg is a tough place to live.
I’ve only heard good things about Raleigh
Farida ~ I think that if you felt you needed something different, making a change was positive. I fully support your change and Sergio is a GREAT coach. As a former Head Coach of the Egyptian National Team, I only wish that you had contacted me. I have followed your career and would have loved to coach you. I think if you asked your fellow countrymen who swam for me they would vouch for my coaching ability. If you again need a change please contact me. Until then feel free to contact me for support, with questions, or just talk, feel free to reach out.
I wish you the best and I will continue to follow you.
