Canadian Mischo Erban
set a world skateboard record plummeting 130 kph down a steep road in
Quebec. It's the fastest anyone went downhill since Tiger Woods.
Hard to come up with something funny over a shooting. Saturday Night Live did it the best: "The Claudine Longet Invitational," clips of skiers falling with the voice over, "Oops. another skier accidentally shot by Claudine Longet, etc. etc." Chad
Very true...and very funny.

Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJust dawned on me, another athlete who went downhill very fast, in more ways than one: Spider Sabich. But not a great joke, even 40+ years later.
