Event of the meet for me too.

I put Dylan for gold of course but "A" medal would be a nice set up for the big win in London.

After a terrific season start, his distances started to regress. I'm hoping it was just due to heavy training and a busy schedule, and that he's healthy and ready to perform in the high 21s or even hit a 22 again.

A glider guider, not a whirly-ma-jigger will win it all. Keep the sport pure otherwise it will evolve to a sling toss.

Even though 4 of the top 5 are spinners?

Thank you!
I shouldn't be surprised. A long time ago there was Barishnikov

[gh]

Re: 2011 WC: mSP—

Yeah, but Barishnikov couldn't top Nureyev as a spinner :mrgreen:

Re: 2011 WC: mSP—

Is it wrong to hope Cantwell is on the programme cover tomorrow? :P

Interesting note that Canadian spinner Dylan Armstrong's coach, Dr. Anatoly Bondarchuk, also spent some time with Baryshnikov after Baryshnikov's coach passed away.
