Hello fellow forest dwellers,

The Olympics never fail to surprise. On the dissapointment side of surprise, 
there's Janet Evans, the women's gymnastics individual all-arounds, a softball 
loss to Australia, the whole cycling venue with one exception in the sprints, and 
even a bomb.

On the positive side of surprise is both Gail and Gwen medaling in the women's 
100 Meter, the women's basketball victory over Australia, (well, OK, so neither 
or those two were really surprises), both men's beach vollyball teams 
adavancing to tomorrow's final, and Becky Rheul's 4th place finish on the 
platform  (which for someone who wasn't even expected to be a contender is 
great), and even a kayaking win!

What with all the great sports in the Olympics, it seems that there are more 
and more "not-so-athletic" events getting in there. It seems like people are 
inventing new and silly ways to get into the Olympics because they aren't good 
enough to get there the conventional way. So here's my thought for an 
additional sport for the 2000 summer games:

	"Well," said Christopher Robin, not quite sure what it was all about, "I 
think---"
	"Yes?" said everybody.
	"I think we ought to play Poohsticks."
	So they did. And Eeyore, who had never played it before, won more gold medals 
than anybody else...

Hey- it could happen! (sorry Shanna) :-)

Now that's a sport I could enjoy 'training' for!
