Last night I was watching the Olympics...

[Archae]

During the womens' half-pipe on skis.

Saw a quite small girl from the US, trying very hard, but on her first try she wiped out.

Then during her second run, she wiped out again.
She just laid on the ground crying, I don't blame her.

I felt so sorry for her, she was trying so hard.

But I can't remember her name!

1. I believe it was Maddie Bowman

Poor thing, she had some real bad luck, didn't she?

[Archae]

2. I'd like to send her a condolence...

"Remember Eddie The Eagle."

3. I think she won gold in this event at the last Olympics, so it had to be a

crushing disappointment to not get the opportunity to defend that this year.

4. The winners are overcome with emotion, too

I think it’s almost too much. Spotlight.

5. I have often been glad that our sons...

...were just decent athletes. Played good enough soccer to get some local recognition in high school, and some all conference stuff in college, which they and we enjoyed. I would not have wanted them to be under the strain of competing in front of the whole world.

Way too much pressure.
