Acrobatic Tumbling Toy
This is a beautiful hand-made, hand-painted wooden toy, made in Germany. The little wooden figure performs a series of back-flips as he descends down the steps.
Automata like this have a history going back over 200 years, when mechanical toys were collected by rich and famous people. …
Recently, a traditional German toymaker has re-invented the toy, with a different, patented, mechanism that uses weights and levers, instead of mercury.

It costs about $400.

Cheer superstar Maddie Gardner.
Fans say when she performed the stunt for the first time at the 2010 World Championships, it was the “greatest moment in cheer history.” …
She’s now a sophomore at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.

Any bases willing? 🙂

Michigan Topples No. 7 Nebraska …
Nebraska’s Emily Wong (again) wins the AA with 39.475.
Emily Wong’s success comes from her great balance. But after a practice last fall, the NU senior almost lost her footing when she found out her dad, John, had suffered a stroke.
…
Less than a day later, Emily had flown home to North Dakota to be by her dad’s side.
“It meant the world,” said Wong. “He wasn’t fully conscious when I got there but you could still talk. It was nice to have conversations with him. I probably didn’t sleep for three or four days just going back to talk for hours. So it was definitely nice.”
John was able to see Emily’s sister get married in the hospital. He then died on October 4th. …

Gilmore Junio – team player
Winter Olympics.
Gilmore Junio of Calgary has given up his spot in Wednesday’s 1000-metre speed skating race to his teammate Denny Morrison.
In a press release from the Canadian Olympic Committee, 23-year-old Junio said he made the decision because it would improve Canada’s medal chances.
“I believe it’s in the best interest of the team if [Morrison] races,” Junio said in the release. “To represent Canada at the Olympics is a huge honour and privilege but I believe that as Canadians, we’re not just here to compete; we are here to win. Denny has proven to be a consistent medal threat in the distance”.
Morrison fell just before the finish line in the 1000-metre qualifications in Calgary, and so didn’t qualify for the event. But he’s ranked 6th in the world at that distance. Junio ranks 41st. …
