A Peek Behind the Olympic Fever Curtain
So many things did not make the final edit of our interview this week, including the fact that Kelly and Alison would make great grocery shopping buddies because Kelly (height: 6'2") could get things off the top shelf, and Alison (height: 5'4") could get things off the bottom shelf.
But one very, very important thing happened that just did not fit in with the rest of the interview, yet it's important to the show:
Alison finally figured out her B-girl name!!!
I'm never quite sure if you love it when we talk about breakin', if you roll your eyes in digust, or if you're perplexed as to why this is pretty much assured to be on the Olympic program come 2024. But we get a kick out of it, so thanks for sticking with us.
Anyway, Kelly was trying to convince me and Alison that we could totally be a beach volleyball team, regardless of height. She might be 6'2", but her partner Sarah Sponcil is just 5'10" and is her "short defender."
I said, "You're my short defender, Alison!"
Alison responded, "That...that could be my B-girl name! Short Defender!"
"I'm so glad I could help you figure this out," Kelly said.
So there you have it. If you see Short Defender pop up on the competitive breakin' circuit, you'll know who it is.
And if you can help me remember my B-girl name, email me. I'd love to know what we decided on.
