I was so disappointed when I met my running hero. She grew up in California like myself. She was a decent runner in College but rally excelled as a pro. I always loved her story and respected how she stuck with it until she finally made it. I introduced her to my daughter and she was downright rude. She never acknowledged her and completely ignored us. I am no longer a fan.

That is a shame. I grew up watching and idolizing Shaq. Got a chance to meet him during his playing days in LA and he was very nice. I also happen to run into Usain Bolt while vacationing in Jamaica. He was shooting a commercial at the resort I was staying. He was very friendly. Signed my shirt and took some selfies. I also ran into Mark Cuban while on a tour at old Cowboy stadium 20 something years ago. He stopped and took pictures with our entire group and signed stuff for the kids.
Man it would suck to be a pro athlete. Having to act happy 100% of the time for everyone. Maybe this person is *shock* normal like the rest of us.
I'd be interested to hear what "normal" means to you. All the normal people I know would never be rude to someone who came up to them to express admiration, etc.
And let's be honest - we're talking about a runner here, not Tom Cruise. Whoever the runner is, it's not like they are unable to live a normal life because of overenthusiastic fans.
Ali had a great reputation for always being friendly with any fans he met. Right after he won a Gold Medal in the 1960 Olympics he got a chance to meet Sugar Ray Robinson and Robinson blew him off. He didn’t like it and promised on the spot that he would always show respect for fans that approached him and he did.

It’s dumb to have heroes that are athletes or celebrities.
