But none of the successes happened overnight. Spiranac has spent several years building a platform and finding ways to monetize it. She shared with FOX Business in a recent interview some of the best pieces of advice she’s received as she’s worked to grow her brand.

“First, respond back quickly and respond back to everything,” Spiranac said. “There’s a lot of opportunities that come through your door and always respond back as quickly and as soon as you can.
“Second, say yes to a lot of different opportunities,” she continued. “That’s something that I have done throughout my career, where there are times when you’re scared, and you don’t feel like you’re capable, and there is imposter syndrome, and everything is [telling] you, ‘No, don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it.’ But the best thing to do is to do it.

“Not everything you say yes to is going to be a success. But I’ve learned more from my failures than I have from my successes. So, being able to fail and learn from it and then grow from that as well.”

Along with social media fame came a ton of negative aspects, too.

Spiranac pushes back on criticism she receives on social media from time to time. She told FOX Business that when she first started building her brand she was “really sensitive.”

To counter that, Spiranac worked on herself more to build confidence.

“I realized I had to step back and do a lot of work on myself to make sure that I was confident in who I was and that I was creating the brand I wanted to create. Over the years, I have realized that it’s OK. People are allowed to have their opinions.

“I honestly think that even sometimes, although it can come off as criticism or hateful, I don’t think a lot of people actually truly mean it in that way. I think, in some way, they’re trying to be helpful. So, even if I get a comment that is critiquing me, I try to hear it out because maybe I can learn from it, I can better myself, or I can adjust.”

Overall, Spiranac said, it’s better not to try to take every little comment to heart.

“Life’s hard. Social media can be a pretty depressing place if you allow yourself to be bothered by those certain things. So, if you just take a step back and see it in a different light, social media can be unbelievably positive and a great community.”

Athlete explains why ‘sex has always been an issue’ at the Olympics
Story by Harriet Brewis
• 1d • 2 min read

The Olympics is a hotbed of testosterone and adrenaline, so it’s no wonder that pulses – and libidos – run high at the games.

Indeed, one former medal-winner has described sex as an “inevitable” part of the global event, and one which she has experienced first-hand.

Susen Tiedtke, 55, a German former long jumper, who performed in two summer Olympics, spoke to newspaper Bild in 2021, after Covid restrictions at the Tokyo games essentially placed a “sex ban” on athletes.

“I find the whole thing hilarious. It doesn’t work at all,” she said. “Sex is always an issue in the [Olympic] village.”

She explained: “The athletes reach their physical peak at the Olympics. Once the competition is over, they want to release their energy.”
She admitted that, during the event, there is “one party after another” and where alcohol is involved, anything can happen.

And yet, she said, coaches were strict about potential trysts, telling their teams that sex before competing was a bad idea because “when you have sex, the body first has to recharge itself energetically” and so they should abstain for the good of their performance.

However, Tiedtke acknowledged that once an athlete’s event was over, all bets were off.

She revealed euphemistically that Olympic village roommates were always “considerate if you needed the room to yourself…” but conceded that “you could always hear people ‘partying’ and sometimes it was hard to sleep.”

Speaking of her own experience, she said that her father, who was also her coach, was very strict, adding that “if a boy even wanted to go out with me, he had to do 100 push-ups first.”

“I had to meet secretly,” she confessed: “Otherwise I would never have been with anyone.”

But, in fact, she did end up with someone. And that someone would become her husband.

“I met my future husband Joe Greene (also a long jumper) in Barcelona in 1992,” she told Bild.

Asked if they did more than just “hold hands,” Tiedtke said suggestively: “Our competitions were towards the end of the games” but “nothing went on before, and that was hard.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics is due to kick off on 24 July. But it’s safe to assume that there will be plenty of fireworks beyond the opening ceremony…
