Your Olympic Hero: Susan Francia

In this installment of "Your Olympic Hero," Ivygate introduces Susan Francia, who is the second attractive female Olympian to have a post devoted to her this evening. While I don't have any Youtube videos of Susan drop-kicking fans, I do have a charming interview with the Penn alum.

Name: Susan Francia

Ivy Affiliation: Penn '04

Major: Criminology

Sport: Women's Rowing (Women's 8+)

1. Are you going to win?
We're going to try our best!

2. Is this your first Olympics?
Yes, it's my first Olympics.

3. What's on your ipod when you're erging?
Lil Wayne, Jay Z, and German techno.

4. Was Penn your first choice?
Good one! Yes, coming from a suburb of Philly, Penn was an institution that I prayed that I would get into. It's an awesome school and I'm glad I went there.

5. Which is the least athletic Ivy and why?
Rhode Island School of Design, enough said.

6. For the rest of your life, you have to give up either rowing or missionary position sex. What's your choice?
You mean coitus?

Sorry, but all of the best questions are after the jump.

7. A lot of people want to boycott the Olympics or something. Your thoughts?
What the hell for? The Olympics are about athletes participating in a sport and having the chance to represent their country. They should not be a medium for people to make political statements.

8. Didn't you hate waking up so early for crew?
I am a morning person so waking up early wasn't a big deal for me. In college it helped me get to class in the morning.

9. Obama or McCain?
Obama.

10. Describe your ideal man (and nothing lame like "my boyfriend").
Tall, bronzed, sweaty, 8-pack abs, large pectoral muscles, firm gluteus maximus. Also, I love a man in uniform!

11. What's your wildest Olympic Village party story?
I'll let you know in 2 weeks.

12. After four years of college, what's your biggest regret?
Not immersing myself in the Quaker faith.

13. What are your career plans?
My career plans? Enjoy life? Continue rowing? Move home? Isn't that what you're supposed to do with a liberal arts degree?

14. Again in 2012?
One month at a time...
