If so can you find pictures of the child?

You are well informed...she gave birth to Ye Sung Lee (father is Olympic Judo Gold Medalist and husband, Won Hee Lee)...I don't have a picture at the moment...maybe I can do some digging...but maybe they are keeping public photos to a minimum...can't blame them...she's a big celebrity back home...

Maybe.....but I'm still surprised, especially since she has recently shot commercials for McDonald's and Kia, while still being pretty high profile for Nike...

...but has she lost some other sponsors? Omega?

...maybe those contracts were front loaded...maybe they expired and were renegotiated before she won last year...

...but she was on the list in 2008: In Pictures: Top-Earning Female Athletes - Forbes.com

...with 12 million...did she fall from 12 million in 2008 to under 5 million by 2010...
