Unlike Heidi Montag, who recently underwent a DDD-cup-size breast augmentation to help fulfill God’s plan of maximizing her soulless appearance, this month’s Hero proved herself to be a fantastic role model for today’s young girls by trading in her silicone for a shot at Olympic gold.

Australian hurdler Jana Rawlinson recently had her breast implants removed to improve her chances of winning a medal for her country at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Rawlinson had the $13,000 implant surgery in late 2008, but told Australia’s Woman’s Day that she had them removed because she felt bigger breasts were hindering her odds of making the team.

“Every time I raced I panicked about whether I was letting my country down, all for my own vanity,” Rawlinson said. “I absolutely loved having bigger boobs, but I don’t want to short-change Australia either.”

Rawlinson decided, for the sake of her nation’s pride, to trade in her short-lived fun bags for her old, familiar fried eggs. “Yep,” she quipped, “I’m back to being flat as a pancake.”

The 27-year-old athlete is a two-time world champion in the 400-meter hurdles, winning titles in 2003 and 2007. However, she missed subsequent Olympics in Athens and Beijing due to injury.

This time around, though, it’s London or bust. Rawlinson is willing to do whatever it takes to run flat out. “I want to feel the most athletic I can, to know that I’m standing on the track in London the fittest I can be,” she said.

A flat-chested Olympic champion seems emblematic for the country down under. After all, Ayer’s Rock, arguably Australia’s most recognizable land feature, is also flat on top.

Of course, some may think Rawlinson’s decision to have her augmentation reversed is actually counterproductive to her goal of crossing the finish line first. It may seem counterintuitive, but breasting the tape is not really made easier with the help of bigger breasts.

Instead, this determined Sheila is willing to admittedly look more like a bloke because she believes sacrificing her glorious breasts will lead to Olympic glory.

In 2012, Rawlinson is looking to take the “tit” out of “title.” And if she wins in London, every flat girl can stick her planar chest out with pride.
