Olympian: I’m happy as a hooker

- By LAURA ITALIANO

Sex as a $600anhour escort is even better than winning a race, raves exOlympian Suzy Favor Hamilton.

“This is better than competing in the Olympics,” the former track star-turned-Vegas-hooker gushes in “Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness.”

Hamilton was exposed as a highpriced call girl in 2012 and swore off the lifestyle in a rambling online apology that blamed chronic depression but revealed nothing salacious.

In her new book, though, she revels in her former hidden life, and dishes in detail.

“It had been my first appointmen­t with this handsome client, but I’d walked in and given him a kiss straight away, letting my mouth linger on his,” she recalls in one excerpt from the book, posted online by Sports Illustrate­d on Wednesday, describing her assignatio­n with an unnamed corporate CEO in a “luxurious penthouse suite.”

“I’d taken him to the bed, showing him that I was the one in charge,” she says of her kinky corporate takeover. “He’d liked it.” The 47yearold mom reveals she was drawn to the world’s oldest profession after giving her husband, Mark Hamilton, an unusual 20th weddingann­iversary gift. They went to Vegas and hired an escort — a hooker named “Pearl” who pleasured both of them.

“Pearl had flipped a switch inside me, awakening a certainty that I could please clients even more than she’d pleased me,” she writes.

Bizarrely, her husband knew of, and grudgingly allowed, her new job as “Kelly” the call girl.

“I said I had to do this if I was going to be happy,” she writes. “Somehow he agreed.” Before long, she was booking “dates” whenever she traveled with her husband to Vegas for promotiona­l events — with her husband’s grudging approval.

“I didn’t want to go back to my old life,” she writes.

“Not ever.”
