The realization of far above normies pro athletes are came when watching the Red Wings’s fourth line practicing. That’s when I realized that the gulf between the stars and 4th line was much much smaller than the golf between amateur pros.
I think probably two things happening here in people's minds: 1) 4 years seems like ages to get good at things if you do nothing else and 2) if that breakdance woman could qualify surely the bar cannot be that high.
Especially the 3% who think they'll be olympic level skateboarders in 3 years.
Losing it that these people think table tennis at that level is easy.
Strictly Come Rowing. Alert the Beeb and have them call me.
I play the Mary Carrillo version of badminton. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZDn...
This was taken off the air from a badminton broadcast in the middle of the night, US time. What starts as a normal description about the equipment turns into a full-on rant about how backyard badminton is *really* played. Update: Deadspin found and interviewed Mary Carillo about this around the time of the '14 Sochi Olympics. http://deadspin.com/lets-relive-mary-carillos-great-american-badminton-ra-1520537732/1520820915
I would love to play anyone of those people in Badminton after those 4 years. I stink in comparison, and they would be miserable
If they’re asking 15 year olds this is kind of sweet, if they’re asking the general population then what
6% of nearly 70,000,000 (so roughly 4 million) reckon they could qualify for the 100m? The delusion is strong in them.
This is what happens with bad TV coverage that doesn’t show how freaking far archery is!! And how small the target actually is.
