Am Quite Excited, especially since we actually have tickets - we're going to see the athletics next Saturday! :D

(Also loved Pond Life 2, and will do my best to get to comments as soon as I can - this week is ZOMG BUSY, however, so please bear with me. ♥)

Oh, wow. Sports usually do very little for me, but that video was amazing. I mean, it's great if you want to train really hard and get good at something. But someone who's missing whatever limb you please and can still kick just about anyone else's tail at their favorite sport is the one who really impresses me. And makes me feel a little like crying, in the best possible way. And the way the video is filmed gives a very respectful presentation--it doesn't flinch from showing differently-abled bodies as they are, but it doesn't make a freak show or some kind of after-school special of it, either. It's all, "push harder!" the way it is with every kind of athlete.

As soon as I'd watched it I went straight to LJ to post it!
