Slog - Comments on Oh, Annie, You're Going Down http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/oh_annie_youre_going_down Girl, if your precious gymnasts even looked like they heard the music while they were doing their floor routines, then your point would stand. As it is, your deafsters are about as "synchronized" to their music as baseball players to their at-bat theme songs. And here is hilarious musical warmup to tonight....

With rasslin'.

I don't think either of your events reaches the heights of absurdity that racewalking does, with that crazy hip-rolling. And I say that as a former competitive racewalker (high school German class, Dallas, TX, before any of you were born).

As opposed to the women's BMX races - now those were cool!

If so, THANK YOU, Esther!
