it's world gymnastics championships time. the u.s. men's squad didn't even make the top eight to get into the team finals, though we did place two in the individual all-around. our women's team is doing much better so far, first actually. from the preliminaries here are two vaulters who really really really want to do a good job. so they did 5000 push-ups a day, ran at 20 plus mph at a vaulting horse, launched themselves in the air with angry abandon and landed in some manner. or possibly they ran toward me with out of control desire, launched themselves in the air and i caught them and we loved and laughed and i was sore for days. either way, here's to you poland's przemyslaw lis and italy's matteo morandi.
