    That's terrific! There are so few sports left where you can still win by sheer grit and talent. Far too many sports today IMO are decided by who can afford the most expensive gear/equipment.
    Alea jacta est!

    I agree with the above.

    Great determination and will power. Loved the Talking Heads work music!
