What a scramble for third thru seventh place. You miss a step and someone is on your heels.

Congratulations Greg Wagner and Nick Weite. Two Americans tied for the bronze to be settled on bodyweight. It was awesome to watch live with my family and friends....

Putt Houston.... now with Ridiculous BCWW

ouch. 1 medal and two Americans vying for it? both men's and women's teams needed to be stronger apparently and perhaps it's a bit of a rebuilding year for USAPL? maybe a few more masters from what's usually a strong master team?

india was an expensive trip - but so was czech republic, ukraine and other places - and IMHO USA fielded better teams there by far.

In any event, thank you for representing USA and safe trip home.
