Beijing agony drove Jana Rawlinson’s marriage bust-up, admits Chris Rawlinson
January 18, 2010 11:18PM
THE husband of champion Australian hurdler Jana Rawlinson has revealed their now-repaired marriage split was driven by disappointment over the Beijing Olympic Games.
British Olympic hurdler Chris Rawlinson was coaching his wife, a double world and Commonwealth 400m hurdle champion, in the lead-up to the Games but a toe injury forced her to withdraw.
“All the days of trying to win gold got too much,” he told Britain’s Mail on Sunday.
“It had a bad effect on our relationship. We didn’t know how to deal with it.”
The couple, who have a three-year-old son, separated in April last year and began divorce proceedings before reuniting months later and deciding to give their marriage another try.
And despite the toll the 2008 Games had on their marriage, they are once again preparing to go for gold at the 2012 London Olympics.

Hate to say it Chris, but if you broke up after the disappointment of Beijing, we can expect another one in a couple of years time.

So you cannot go a month without being in papers can you! What a poor excuse. If that is what broke up your marriage I would think that you would stay away from coaching your wife.

Are these two for real? She is nothing more than an attention seeking nobody who only wanted her husband back because he was seeing someone else. Do either of them care about their child? Married/Divorced/ Re-married/Implants/Implants out… Can her career please end and then they can both go away.

As long as she has a gold medal??? How arrogant, what happened to trying to do/be your best… Well I certainly hope they are not ever seen or recognised as ambassadors of their sport at Junior level. What a terrible message to send to all Little Athletes out there. GOLD AT ALL COSTS. Yes it would be fantastic to win a gold medal but does she have to get the implants put back in if heaven forbid she only gets second and whats the deal if she get injured again…a second round of divorce?
