They called it a
tie but the video replay reveals Mark touched Elan out by a hair. I'll never forget when my friend Mikhail beat me at chess in four decisive strokes. "You have to play the game," he explained as I gaped at a board where almost all the pieces were still in their starting places. These guys got game. Whether whiffleball, disc golf, or pool foot races they give it their all. I can hang with that. Competition is healthy so long as it doesn't sour you the way it did that little princess gymnast who fell on her ass then scowled as they hung the silver around her neck. Poor sports might get gold but they never really win. |
