hypochondriac Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 What a shame that someone uses their moment of triumph to try to divide along racial lines. It's such a peculiarly American thing.

hypochondriac Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Saw the trampolining earlier. I found it odd that the routines seemed to consist of about 4 jumps. Thought it would go on longer than about twenty seconds even though there's no doubt it's difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like playing a game of football, being 3 nil up after 90 minutes then having a penalty shootout to decide who wins the game. (Better analogies are probably available!)
