- Summary:
- "For as long as I can remember, the TV or other screens have been on to distract adults from winter, and with astonishing frequency these screens show some human or other thundering down some snowy slope. If one of these humans somehow manages to be a micro-fraction faster than the others-this micro-mini-fraction isn't even perceptible to us; somehow, they're always equally fast, but no bugger will admit that-then all or many of the people around me cheer. Part of this is a not-entirely-whispered national pride. "We" = ski people. And this "we" idolizes anyone who lets us feel the pride. "We" = for example, Marco Odermatt, our star Alpine ski racer. But why is that? Let's talk about our national sport."-- provided by distributor.
