RR, for those of us who admire this but do not know much about it, what's the story here?
At about 28 seconds in the caption reads "with America's best competing," and then at about 42 seconds another caption says the best is not competing? Defending champion out with injuries, or what is happening there?
Hubby actually pointed that out too.
The best not competing is in reference to Kristin Rhodes. She has won the title for seven years she has been competing. She had to have surgery a few weeks ago and is unable to attend.
Not sure I'd have the recovery ability either, but my pm box is wide open, lemmee know if you get really desperate, I am willing to risk life and limb for that one life-changing, or life-ending, event before I shuffle off this mortal coil for any of the usual less ambitious reasons anyway.
