Never read the comments, especially mine.
You are remembered as well.
eta: I'm a little biased, but Julie is widely regarded as one of the nicest, most professional people in the industry. Not to mention one of the most successful and in demand. At that match, (her first IDPA match) she was treated like garbage (as a person and a woman) from the RO's. Most of the top shooters left IDPA and have not really returned, because of how ridiculous IDPA RO's and others have acted over the years. It is one of the reasons Todd and I created KSTG.
If you disagree with information presented by a member here (in her case, an SME), feel free to provide facts or information to support your point. I don't expect anyone to blindly believe me, just because Todd did. However, insulting someone the way you did - "and perhaps she's grown up since then" - won't go well for you.
Then again, you obviously don't care, and are lucky we live in a civilized society.

I've never met her. I watched the video. And yes, thanks to the comments in the original post, I did catch myself sneaking a peak at her chest.
Did I learn anything about my grip that I didn't already know? Nope. But I wish she could spend a day pretending to be one of my agency's instructors. She did an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating proper grip.
Many can do a task. Not everyone can teach how to do a task. Fewer still can articulate to a novice, using simple words, how to do a task. She could teach our training staff a few things on how to teach a proper grip to new recruits.
It amazes me to be on the line during training and see gaps between the top of the shooting hand and the pistol on issued M&P9's. The instructors either don't notice or don't care.

I like Julie, she seems born with a pleasant public demeanor. I wish I had 1/100th of the positive energy she exudes. She's a great ambassador for shooting sports. I think she shoots pretty good, too.
She posted about the negative comments on her Instagram. Anyone with swastikas in their user name should be immediately deleted, and waterboarded.
