OLYMPIC FORM

Did you notice how the Olympic ice skaters can all grab a hold of one skate and stretch their leg up straight, ‘way up over their head? It’s like doing the splits standing up. You stare at them hanging on to their foot high overhead while they’re twirling around like mad, and muscles and tendons all over your body snap, crackle and pop.

‘Course, I can grab a hold of MY skate and stretch it ‘way up over MY head, too. I can even twirl around at the same time.

What’s my secret? Well . . . I don’t actually have my foot in my skate at the time. It shouldn’t matter. Should it?
