travishamockery
I'm not a big gymnastics fan, but what happened last night deserves a little attention. If there was ever a quintessential moment to use travishamockery (and yes, thanks to Miller brewing company's ad agency, it is a word), last night at the men's gymnastics event finals was that time. How else can you explain how Russian gymnist Alexei Nemov, after flipping and twisting high above the bar an amazing five or six times (I lost count in my amazement), and landing the dismount, with only a minor step, ended up in fifth place. It truly was a travisty, a sham, and a mockery of the sport, or to sum it up in one word, a travishamockery!
But I guess that's what happens when you involve judges. I've never been a big fan of sports that are judged; there is just too much room for error or subjectiveness or politics or whatever you want to call it. It happened on Monday night for the men's all around competition, and last night surely won't be the last time. Its a shame really, because those are some incredible athletes out there competing.
Big props to the Greek fans for letting the judges (and the whole world) know how big of a travishamockery it was!
Kudos to Paul Hamm for shaking off the pressure and performing very well!
In the words of Kip Dynamite... Peace out!
