I thought that was great! As soon as he finished his routine, I turned to my wife and said, ‘I think we may have just seen the Gold Medal winner.’ Good for Canada!
I felt bad for Morgan Hamm, though. He had a great routine, just too long. If he hadn’t had the deduction for going over time, he would have taken bronze, I think.
I saw that routine and thought, “Damn, what a great routine! Who the heck was that?” Of course the giant Labatts label on his uniform gave away his country of origin.
Congrats on the gold there, very well deserved. And in case any Aussies pop in, your women were fantastic on the platform yesterday! (First Australian medals in diving, and they took Gold and Bronze)
Technically, Trampoline falls under the ‘gymnastics’ category at the Games, which means Canada has a total of 3 gymnastics medals (including the bronze from Sydney).
Now if only the FIG weren’t frigging stupid, Shewfelt would have even more…
