This surprised me, because he did show good sportsmanship during the end of match procedure.



I hear ya on the "suprised" part. Disappointing about him tossing his medal into the stands. GHEZ! Not only uncool, DANGEROUS.

I guess things are not always as they appear (of course I knew this before the tossing of the medal). Thanks for the info Mr. Johnson.

On a related note, it was amazing how much distance Crutchmer could create on his stand ups. I get so tired of seeing kids not creating any distance and merely just prying their hips up in an almost tripod position. Its like the pry kid is just begging to be put into a craddle . . . Just a pet peave of mine. Get up and OUT boys! Don't just sit and pry your hips up. Or, am I just too old school and this prying stuff is good tech now? I imagine occasionally a pry is needed (trying for a grandby or something) it just seems like I see kids do this prying stuff 95% of time. Any thoughts?
