The holy grail in sports

Perhaps, this dimension was best illustrated last night when Meryle Davis and Charlie White hit the ice during their short program and is returning today as they're cashing in their Gold. Both made their art and skills look super-light and seem so effortless and easy. On top of all that, they seem to genuinely enjoy the experience.

This to me translate into the utmost efficiency of movements and efforts and represents the holy grail in sports. It generally is the result of intense training and stringent preparation found in exacting sports like gymnastics or acrobatics.

I like to remember to put that thought into my bony-head every time I go skiing. You won't find much of it in skeleton or in luge!
