“Give me a reason to keep Olivia running for Australia when it doesn’t support her efforts, sacrifices, talents n future,” her mother wrote. "Give it to me now Eric cos [sic] I’m so enraged and my patriot heart filled with hatred n disgust that I am barely hours from accepting a scholarship for Olivia to go to the USA.

Olivia’s mum has always been a bit of a loose cannon, back to when Olivia was 12 and 13, the way she stormed around, barking.

Who’s decision is this? Olivia’s or her mum’s?
And so what if Olivia accepts a scholarship to the USA - did that hurt Fabrice, who won NCAA and gone on to represent Aust. What about Mark Fountain? I know there are about 10 aussies over there, doesnt mean they cant represent Australia. USA are going to give her a passport and everything - c’mon

Ms McLellan told The Daily Telegraph Olivia called her and said she “never wants to speak to me again” but she said she still stands by her criticism of Hollingsworth’s relay substitution.

Not the first time. How much interaction does Olivia have with her mum now anyway?
