Epke

I am not such a sporty figure but I like to watch the Olympics in London on tv. You see all kind of sports you have never seen before and with the downpours we have here it is a great diversion. But yesterday it was a special day for us, our national nice guy, the gymnastic Epke Zonderland was going to perform his exercise at the horizontal bar. To win gold he had to do something special and he did!

What he did was magical, he flew like a bird in the air three times in a row, which nobody had ever done before. The audience in the stadium exploded.
I made this poor photo from tv but have a look at the video here for a better view of his exercise and listen to the exciting comment of the reporter and the sounds of the audience.

  3. Yes, so many of the Olympic videos on the web are blocked from viewing. I was able to see the finish to the women's road race and award of the gold to your Marianne Vos.
