The skill...the dexterity...the speed of the action, and reaction...and of course the tons of hours spent in training. You have to do this sport on a speed level, unparalleled in any other sport, and make instant decisions. You have to out-think, and anticipate, and strike fast. To fully appreciate it, you really have to view this sport in slow motion. What an amazing woman she is. The latest true American hero. She is a gift to all of us, to all Americans. We are all so very proud of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
