Shewfelt captures gold in floor

CBC.ca – Athens 2004 – CBC Sports: Shewfelt captures gold in floor
Another medal for Canada! A gold this time. But here again, we have one of those sports that isn’t exactly cool. This one is Tumbling a.k.a. Artistic Gymnastics. The guy did an amazing job flying around the floor like Peter Pan (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I have trouble doing a somersault.

All kidding aside, not only did Kyle Shewfelt win the first gold medal of these Olympic game but also the first medal ever for a Canadian tumbler the event. Congrats Kyle.

Come on! Why can’t we win in soccer or basketball? I guess we could win at basketball. All we have to do is play the “dream team”. LOL!
